  • Cosmic Reads

    “Space is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.” – Douglas Adams (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)

    Astronomy, astrophysics, astronauts, rockets, and space. This month’s Featured Collection is all about outer space! Grab a book and read, but don’t forget to look up and wonder what is beyond. 

    Browse our physical collection at the Ask Us Desk in the Matheson Learning Commons, or explore our eBooks and Space Films collections.

  • Gettin’ outdoors

    In honor of the start of summer and the spirit of going outdoors during the warm days ahead, this month’s featured collection is all about nature and “The Great Outdoors”. Reconnect and rediscover nature by grabbing one of the books off of the Featured Collection shelf at the Matheson Learning Commons. From bird watching, foraging, plant identification and hiking, there is a little bit of something for everyone! The collection also features a series of eBooks and several film and video resources as well.

    We would also like to take this opportunity to highlight the NaturePlus Pass. The NaturePlus pass gives you access to a dozen conservation areas and parks across Niagara courtesy of the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority. NaturePlus passes are available at the Ask Us Desk!
