When one of our data analysts began to research her great-grandfather, she realized consolidating each Canadian census into one database would produce both faster and easier results.

And so, Census Search Beta was born.

B.C. politicians condemn violence against drag performers https://t.co/6HwTTwqxna

Politicians voiced support for drag performers in B.C. and outside of the province as violent and aggressive protests occur at events.

I'm telling you. The potential in #libraries is endless. It seems there is nothing librarians cannot solve if they put their minds to it. Fantastic #equity example of supporting parents juggling work and family from @HenricoNews in Virginia.

I admire how these librarians remain friendly when repeatedly asked to respond to the "do we need you anymore" argument. I see no signs of decline of #libraries, quite the opposite. @vbowlestpl @shamike2009 @KitchLibrary @torontolibrary @le_shore https://t.co/hkChVvUl96

Tonight on TVO's @TheAgenda: How Are Libraries Important to Social Infrastructure? https://t.co/epD3AHByup

Libraries are no longer just places to borrow books. How have they emerged from the pandemic? And what are some of the new ways they are serving their communities?
