Libraries

One of the things keeping this particular contributor busy over the last few months has been writing small commentaries for the Spacing Ottawa weblog.

Today's instalment focuses on the state and perception of the Ottawa Public Library's Main Branch. Libraries being yet another form of civic infrastructure, that infrastructure being Spacing Magazine's main topic of interest.

All of which leads me to wonder how people across Canada view their local libraries...?

Ideas for Canada's 150th Birthday Projects

Inspired by remarks by Romeo Dallaire in recent weeks, Geoff d'Auria for the Tyee suggests a project or two of his own preference for Canada's 150th Birthday Party. I know of Dallaire's preference for pursuing the abolition of child soldier recruitment, and in my POV, both proposals ought to be pursued regardless of whether we can get them either done or at least underway in time. Nor are they the only ones.

Opinions, anyone?
