Happy first week of February!   This week's issue highlights some of the great work library staff are doing, welcomes a new face to the library and gives us a sneak peak at something fun that is happening next week.  Enjoy!

Elizabeth Clarke, Executive Director KW YWCA is seated with Jane Britton, Head Special Collections & Archives who is discussing the Grenfell Mission Mat found in the YWCA’s collection by Jessica Blackwell, Special Collections & Archives Librarian while she was describing the collection. This mat will be donated by the YWCA to the Hooked Rug Museum of North America.  An interesting feel good story of the connections of women’s work and women’s organizations in Canada.  Photo submitted by Beverly Hershey.

Graham Yeates started a nine month contract on Monday as the Library Office Assistant. He’ll be assisting with the day-to-day administrative functions of the Library Office, including support for Beverly Hershey, Associate Director of Advancement, Library. Welcome Graham.  Photo submitted by Annette Dandyk.

This photo not only shows off a bit of Laura Bredahl's professional work/community involvement, but also brings visibility and awareness to this event that is being sponsored by the Status of Women and Equity Committee.  Photo submitted by Laura Bredahl.
