The library I volunteered at is run by the high school, Dr. Norman Bethune Collegiate Institute (C.I.). The school was founded in 1979 and was named after Norman Bethune; a well-known Canadian doctor. He was best known for his services during World War I and his dedication to helping the poor in Canada. Moreover, over these past few years, the school has prospered beautifully and has had many renovations and changes. For example, two years ago, the school’s library had a huge makeover. The library was given new furniture to allow to have students a better working space. Similarly, the library moved shelves around in order to make it more convenient for everyone to access books. Ultimately, Dr. Norman Bethune C.I. has it in their best interest to provide students with the tools they need to succeed in education. In other words, the school displays good citizenship by assisting their students.

The New Canadian Library’s canon formation is partly a product of the time. The 1950’s were a period of excessive development for Canada, a sort of Canadian boom after WWII, and drastic changes occurred such as Avro Arrow, first female federal cabinet minister (Ellen Fairclough), National health care plan Act, Painters Eleven, The Canada Council (funding for Arts). There was a major push for Canadian development and the New Canadian Library was part of this push. The NCL focused on the literary development of Canada, making “Canadian Literature approachable by ironing out its eccentricities.” (26). The NCL aimed to help provide a definition of what it means to be Canadian and “Ross’s New Canadian Library selections formed this imagined tradition

I would say that almost everyone in the United States has been to a public library at some point in their lives. I remember going to the public library in almost every town that I have lived in since I was about five or six years of age. I remember, as a young child, checking out books on all kinds of topics such as dinosaurs, racecars, and Egyptian mythology. As I grew older, my taste in literature evolved. I would check out books about wizards battling against dark magic, snipers saving the world from evil regimes, and every day, ordinary people trying to survive in dystopian worlds. The public library gave me access to all of these literary adventures. I also remember when public libraries started incorporating music, movies, and televisions shows into their in-library resources. I was able
