October 2, 2019

We had the privilege of learning from three presenters today at library school. Our first expert was  the artist in residency who is an illustrator that is currently working on publishing a children's book.  She taught us how to use shapes for drawing and with her guidance we all drew amazing buffalos. 

Lisa Hardy, the Facilities Design Lead, presented information about how we design and build structures for the community.  We got to see some of the original architecture designs from the beginning of the building process.  We examined some of the materials and discussed why certain materials were chosen for the library.

In the afternoon after some time outside on a playground, we visited Elder Alice in the Indigenous meeting room.  She shared stories from her culture and from the past.  Below are some pictures of the table that was designed and built by an indigenous artist to symbolize the Indigenous culture.
