Next time you are browsing the BCIT Library’s (awesome) Popular Reading collection look for these stickers. They indicate books with Indigenous authors or Indigenous content.
Libraries often use stickers to highlight content and draw the eyes of patrons. The BCIT Library has a few that we use including one for BCIT authors! The Indigenous authors and content sticker project has been a labour of love contributed to by many on the BCIT Library staff including the MediaWorks team, Librarians, and of course, the Technical Services Team.
Some Library staff are continuing to promote Indigenous works in our collection by writing book reviews on the BCIT Library blog. Watch for the tag Indigenous Authors and the Indigenous author logo on this blog for some fantastic and heartfelt recommendations from BCIT Library staff.
If you are on a journey to learn more about the experiences of Indigenous peoples in Canada (and beyond) I encourage you to borrow some of the titles in our collections. Suggestions of books to enhance our collection are always welcome. Thank you for reading. Please share your favourite books by Indigenous authors with us on Instagram and Facebook.
