Throwback Thursday – Putting A Stamp On One Of My Most Memorable Library Moments (Sometime In Late 2021)

@2022 Canada Post (CNW Group/Canada Post)

I’ve been fortunate to have all sorts of happy, sad, and memorable moments working in the library over the years.

One of the most unique was helping a couple family members of Metis Leader, Harry Daniels, who fought to have his people included in the Canadian Constitution, come into the library to print a proof of a stamp that was going to be released the following (eg. this) year.

That stamp is now officially released but at the time, they told me that outside of Canada Post employees, I was likely one of the first half dozen people in all of Canada to see that stamp (and quite possibly the first who was not a direct family member or friend of Mr. Daniels!)

Quite an honour and speaks to all the ways that libraries help people in so many amazingly varied ways.
