Libraries have always been places of learning and connection 📚🤝 In this conversation with Lida Barry, CEO of the @BurlOnLibrary, we talk about why being explicit about the value of social connection matters. When leaders name the why, everyday interactions strengthen social health over time. #GenWell #SocialHealth #FaceToFaceFebruary

February marks the beginning of Black History Month. This year’s theme, Out of Many Cultures, One People, encourages us to reflect on the rich diversity within Black communities and the shared experiences that bring people together.
 Burlington proudly honours the enduring contributions of Black Canadians who have helped shape our city and our country for generations. Throughout February, I encourage all residents to seek opportunities to learn, connect, and participate in Black History Month events.
 Burlington Public Library (@BurlONLibrary) is offering engaging programming and curated reading lists throughout the month. Visit bpl.on.ca/news/black-his… to learn more.
 The Canadian Caribbean Association of Halton (@CCAHOfficial) has also shared a list of local Black History Month events taking place across Halton, available at ccah.ca/bhm2026
