Promoting Diversity and Inclusion through Passive Programming FILLING

Monday June 9, 2025 4:00pm - 4:30pm PDT

Keith Gordon Room, Prince George Public Library

This session will focus on creative ways PGPL is promoting diversity and inclusion through passive in-branch programming. By utilizing the classic Scavenger Hunt format we are able to encourage children and families to explore the branch while connecting and learning about topics such as the local Carrier Dakelh language, French language, Women's History in Art, ASL, and more. Discover our other passive community projects such as Colour a Poppy, and the Orange Shirt Project, and how these programs are designed to spark conversation and curiosity.

Please note this is a 30-minute session.
