School, college, or university libraries are perfect for the students in their institutions, providing the resources necessary for them to complete their formal educations at their respective levels, while also stimulate their intellectual growth. Medical, corporate, research, legal, cultural, or government, otherwise known as special libraries, provide the resources needed to supply their very specific patrons with the resources and information needed to sit atop their respective fields. Libraries may differ in size, expertise, funding as well as resources, but they’re all cut from the same cloth.

I choose the subsection in which call numbers fall between 000-7XX, covering Dewey decimal classes: Generalities, Philosophy and Psychology, Religion, Social Science, Language, Natural Science and Mathematics, Technology (Applied Sciences), and Arts, totally about 400 titles.

One moment in Canadian history I feel ashamed of is WW2 and people’s rights. From the moment WW2 was declared, The Measures Act was put into effect to take away certain ethnic groups and national groups’ rights. Japanese Canadians were not allowed to vote or serve in the army, their families were separated and sent into internment camps, and their belongings were taken away. Canadians of German and Italian descent were put into prison camps, Enemy Aliens were required to register with the RCMP and report to the police every month, and anyone sympathizing with Nazism, fascists, and communists were arrested. Since the Canadian government treated those groups of people horribly, this is a moment of history that does not represent unity and is

This gives proof that Canada cares about it’s citizens and wants them to be involved in the inner workings of our democratic

Many think of libraries as brick and mortar institutions that have been around for ages. Special libraries such as the Digital Public Library of America and the MetaArchive Cooperative are two examples of digital library institutions that utilize technology to further free access to information. While both these institutions deal with digital resources, they differ in missions, services and infrastructure. To start, the DPLA and the MetaArchive Cooperative's missions are in theory, ones that fill the need of the other. For example, the Digital Public Library of America's mission is aggregating content from libraries, museums and institutions across the United States.

Pleasant View Library was opened on June 25, 1975 by the North York Public Library Board and was retrofitted in 1995. It is currently one of the smallest libraries in Toronto.
