The Champlain Library librarians, true Canucks at heart, have put together a collection of downright fantastic Canadian reads that will have you saying “Oh, Canada!”. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll sigh this July 1st if you just give’er and plow your way through this list celebrating our home and native land. So slip on your Canadian tuxedo, pick up an Iced Capp, a poutine and some all-dressed chips and cozy up with these beauts courtesy of the Great White North. Happy Canada Day, eh?
