Boozhoo - HelloWETCC Library is located in the south wing in Room 202 - Wiigwass, the Ojibwe word for birch. Birch bark was the first material used by the Anishnaabe to make scrolls on which to record, and later retrieve, important information.
Fortunately, we no longer depend on birch bark scrolls in the library. Neither do we rely solely on bound paper books anymore. (Don't worry, we still have plenty of books!) Besides books, our collection also includes audio and visual materials in several different formats, including CD and DVD, as well as periodicals and other learning resources. In addition, the WETCC Library provides access to a world of digital content via the internet and online databases, like those found in the right sidebar of this page. Perhaps the most helpful resource of all is our librarian, Jane Berg. If you have difficulty finding information, let her know. She has been trained in library systems and retrieving information from a variety of sources. She is also passionate about getting people excited about reading and learning. So whether you're looking for something to read for leisure or you need to locate data on an obscure research topic, Jane is eager to help you! |
