Canadian Library Month is observed every October in Canada, celebrating the vital role libraries play in communities. It encourages individuals to visit their local libraries for events, book checkouts, and to engage with various resources. The month highlights libraries as hubs of knowledge and community engagement, promoting values such as freedom and justice. Many libraries host events and workshops, and schools often participate by organizing reading challenges to foster a love of reading among children. Over 60% of Canadians hold library cards, reflecting the importance of these institutions in society. The month serves as a reminder to support local libraries not just during October, but throughout the year.
