June is National Indigenous History Month, a time to learn about the unique cultures, traditions, and experiences of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples who have lived on this land since time immemorial and whose contributions continue to shape Canada today.

Celebrate with stories by Indigenous authors and writings about Indigenous culture from publishers in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta through the Prairie Indigenous eBook Collection.

We're sharing our staff's latest 5⭐ recommendations from our collection in Checked Out!

Amethyst recommends 📖 The Serpent and the Wings of Night:

Wanting to start a new Romantasy series? This one is my absolute favourite! It is the first book in the 'Crown of Nyxia' series filled with heart-wrenching dynamics between characters, dark magic, and whimsical story telling. 10/10 would absolutely read again.
