"... which have been made... even by those who are not of our faith, we have, in a measure at least, succeeded in accomplishing these ideals. For many ... have been here and have viewed this edifice, and they have said, "Truly this is a temple of the Lord."

Today is the 100th anniversary of one of the most remarkable buildings in Canada: the Cardston Alberta Temple. To learn more about the architectural and religious significance of this National Historic Site, read on. 🧵 #cdnhistory #abhistory #architecturalhistory #LDSHistory

Stopping with Dog on a Snowy Evening (an urban solstice poem with apologies to Robert Frost) Whose street this is I do not know. The houses are familiar though; No one will see me stopping here To watch the street fill up with snow.

@sbrthepodcast @StckedLibrarian Yup!

@ReadingRena @StckedLibrarian Ooo yeah doesnt she mention that book within Northanger? So she was trolling??

What book have you read the most times?

@StckedLibrarian @sbrthepodcast The thing about Northanger Abbey is that Austen was writing a spoof on the popular fiction genre of her day, the “gothic” novel. The second time I read Northanger Abbey I read Ann Radcliffe’s “The Mysteries of Udolpho” at the same time… it’s a fun exercise 😉

@sbrthepodcast @ReadingRena I prefer it too!

@somewhatMPLS @e_backstrom thanks for the great research on proper pronunciation. Good to get the info from the horse’s mouth so to speak, even if all pronunciations involving animal sounds are incorrect.

@MarkConnollyCBC Bare naked ladies!

Talking Point: The Tragically Hip have released 6 new songs they recently discovered from a previous recording session. So we thought we'd ask: Who's your favourite Canadian musician or band?

Public health restrictions without enforcement are just requests and almost everyone feels like they have a reason why they don’t need to abide the restrictions. We need better enforcement.

We herd of a pharmacy offering the vaccine.

@libkimberly @purplemonkeyemy You should check out author Kenneth Oppel, he has a new book out titled “Inkling” that I think your group would enjoy, also his book “The Boundless” is wonderful and the first book of his I discovered, “Silverwing” was so fantastic! He writes kid scary too, check out “The Nest”

@carillonjane @duchessbakeshop That looks amazing Jane!
