November Displays

King Tut and Egyptology Display

With the "King Tut and the Great Pharohs" event happening at the Art Gallery of Ontario, we have created a King Tut and Egyptology display.


We are happy to see that the display is thoroughly used. Also, if you were here to witness it, this display hid a special secret--one of the King Tut's was posted upside down!


War Memorial Book Display

November is the month that we remember those who have fought and given their lives for our freedom. We have a War Memorial display to commemorate these soldiers` bravery.


'Lest We Forget' Display

We also want to remember the men and women who have served in the First World War.

The display shows an image of Lieutenant Colonel John Alexander McCrae (November 30, 1872 – January 28, 1918), his poem, In Flanders Fields, the Soldiers' Tower stained glass window portraying the poem in bright colourful glory, a field of poppies, the jacket DVD cover of, Passchendaele, a film by Paul Gross, and a selection of books of that historical time period.

Many people have dropped by to view the display, read McCrae's poem, and pay their respects.

Children's World Display

To end on a happy note for November, we have a fun book display that shows books of children from all over the world connected together in friendship and hope.
