OSSTF is proud to support the Equity Studies Lending Library. The titles in this library are available to all secondary OCDSB staff.
For the time being the Equity Studies lending library will be housed at Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School and Teacher-Librarian Tricia Leduc will manage the circulation and distribution of the books.
You can find a Google Form for requesting books in the Slides linked here.
Additionally, if there are titles you'd like to request, there is a place in the form to do so.
Thank you to Tricia and to the Equity Studies Subject Council for supporting this initiative!
