This was the wrap-up for a major region-wide literacy program called “Time To Read” (with a slogan “Reader Pride”, a pun on Saskatchewan’s well-known “Rider Pride”) that I was involved with in my first job after I graduated from library school. It’s crazy to think how much in this photo is now being impacted by […]
Stumbled on this YouTube series where a guitar teacher listens to a recommended song by his fans and then provides commentary.
