TBPL newsletter summer 2016
Unleash Your Imagination... Spring & Summer are WILD! Northern Nature Trading Programs for Kids 9 11 - 15 ONE BOOK One Community One Book One Community Get Social with TBPL .... www.tbpl.ca/joinusonline Library programs and services .... May - August 2016 17 CJ ad page 1 of 3 2 Inspire Grow Connect www.tbpl.ca transforming your library Thunder Bay Public Library is on the front page of the local newspaper a lot these days - and for all the right reasons! Our year started with a loud bang when we hosted the Startup Weekend at Waverley Library. The budding entrepreneurs showed up with a business idea which they pitched to the participants. Everyone then voted on all the great ideas. Those business ideas with the most votes had teams formed around them. The teams then got to work starting up a business and many continued to pursue their new startup long after Startup Weekend ended. This is just one way that TBPL is helping to nurture the local economy, which is one of our five key strategic directions. Some of those startup businesses may be coming back to Waverley Library when we open our Small Business Zone (SBIZ) on the lower floor. This will provide space for new businesses to incubate and grow. They can feed off each other, fertilize new ideas, use TBPL resources and prototype new products in the makerspace. To make room for the SBIZ we have moved some collections to the main floor. This means that we now have our highest performing and in-demand collections - such as adult fiction, CDs and DVDs - in our prime space. We now have most of the adult collections on the main floor and we have consolidated the non-fiction and reference collections for ease of browsing. The SBIZ will not only be used by new businesses - the meeting rooms will also be bookable by the public. This is the first stage of a major makeover of Waverley Library which will be rolled out over the next three years. We will be making similar plans for Brodie Library, while at the same time starting to think about the future of County Park. This is all part of our infrastructure strategy to transform our libraries into community hubs. The makerspace has also made front page news with programs such as Tear Down Tuesdays which continue to generate repeat visits to the library. Our latest headlines concerned Northern Nature Trading at Mary J.L. Black Library, the exciting new partnership project with Science North, which was launched with MPs, MPPs and the Mayor in attendance, underlying the value and importance of this lifelong learning initiative to all levels of government. There has never been a better time to visit your local library - so come on down and sign up for a library card and start to make use of the amazing wide range of services and resources which we provide completely free of charge.

Families and individuals are invited to share their stories by contacting the World War One Thunder Bay Centennial project directly at ww1project@tbpl.ca People & Stories Feature By the winter of 1916 it had become clear that the conflict of the First World War was far from over. Over four dozen individuals from Fort William and Port Arthur had already lost their lives during, or as a result of the war. The impact of the war is most prevalent in the stories, photos and records that show the real people who gave their all to the war effort in many different ways. Members of the 94th Overseas New Ontario Battalion, while in training prior to mobilization, had an opportunity to contribute to the war effort in a uniquely Canadian way – hockey. During the 1915-1916 season the Thunder Bay amateur hockey league was made up of three teams: the Fort Williams, Port Arthur Shuniahs and the 94th Battalion. The Fort William Daily Times Journal and the Port Arthur Daily News-Chronicle covered the season in great detail and inspired soaring support for the players of the 94th. Lauded as a “battalion Thunder Bay Centennial Project of sportsmen” (FWDTJ Dec. 14, 1915), the 94th was seen as a neutral team due to players recruited from across Port Arthur, Fort William and other cities such as Kenora. As the season progressed, the 94th improved its combination play and came together as a true team. They won two out of eight seasonal games; following which they played two additional games against the “old timers” hockey team of Port Arthur. Newspaper reports regularly made mention of gripping games and “real hockey”. A more detailed account of this story is in development through the World War One Thunder Bay Centennial Project and will be accessible through the Life in Thunder Bay / Sports section upon completion.

For Cheryl, being an active member of CAP allows her to contribute ideas and input into the future of Thunder Bay Public Library as we move forward from planning to designing, delivering and evaluating services which meet the needs of the entire community. Reflecting back, she has always found the Library a haven filled with knowledge and adventure that supplied limitless information and entertainment. Also, for Cheryl, it is not just what’s in the Library, but whom. The staff within each branch are exceptional, and work hard to not only serve the public but to form wonderful, personal bonds – offering a community experience unlike anywhere else. Some of her favourite authors as a child were Robert Munsch and any fable or fairy-tale written by the Brothers Grimm. Today, Cheryl enjoys various genres like: fiction, history and social and cultural studies and is currently reading works by authors Michael Pollan, James Tully, Thomas Pawlick and James Patterson.
