DECOLONIZING
We acknowledge that we still have a lot to learn, and there is room for improvement. We invite you to join in our journey of truth and reconciliation, decolonization and indigenization.Our Programs > P’ipa:m Lelum Library
P’ipa:m Lelum Library
We have put together a collection of books by BIPOC(Black, Indigenous and People of Color) authors on various topics and for people of all ages. June is not the only month to read Indigenous books. There is so much Indigenous literature to explore and appreciate all year round.
The library is located at 2690 Grant St. Clinton Park Fieldhouse – P’ipa:m Lelum Frog House.
Pick-up: by appointment only at ws@froghollow.bc.ca
Return: Mondays to Fridays, 10 am-4 pm, at the front desk of Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House, 2131 Renfrew St.
Many of the books were purchased at Massy Books #supportlocal
