2023 First Nation Public Library Week

SKAÍHWA’T | DGOGAABWI | STANDING TOGETHER

The 2023 theme describes the act of coming together as one group to understand and support each other. The act of solidarity is described in three languages:

• SKAÍHWA’T - Mohawk - the concept of consensus on one matter, standing together
• DGOGAABWI - Anishinaabemowin - stand with others, participate with others
• STANDING TOGETHER - English

The imagery on the poster depicts the unity public librarians experience. Click below to learn more.
