How to use this guide.RPL categorizes most of its program offerings by age group: children, teens and adults. Sometimes we offer programs to more than one age group – we’ll highlight these in the program descriptions. There are special sections in each issue that feature Aboriginal and Literacy programming, Dunlop Art Gallery exhibitions and programs, RPL in the community, and what’s on at the Film Theatre. We also use “advertisements” to highlight significant RPL events and information. In other words, there’s lots of cool stuff in here, so browse the entire book and use our online database to check it all out!

Oathbringerby Brandon Sanderson

If you liked George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones, you're in for a treat. Brandon Sanderson is a multi-award-winning author who helped finish Robert Jordan's acclaimed Wheel of Time series after Jordan passed. Oathbringer is the third instalment in Sanderson's epic fantasy series The Stormlight Archive. His writing features amazing character development, intricate plots, fantasy action galore, unique and complex magic systems, and beautifully detailed worlds. This is Sanderson's first epic length series with no foreseeable end. As an eternal war between races and gods threatens to overwhelm the human kingdoms, ancient traditions and history reveal that humanity has been here before. As history and lore are forgotten, humanity squanders their time, a mistake which they may pay for dearly.

ARE YOu MY MOTHER?Curated by Jennifer Matotek, Director/Curator

Whether the relationships are close, strained, or absent, being parented (or disconnected from caregivers) is a universal experience. Are You My Mother? considers what is shared about the experience of being raised, while underscoring the circumstances that shape how we feel about our caregivers. This examination of the aesthetics of caring extends to people and places beyond bloodlines.

Diane Bos's The Sleeping Green is an extraordinary collection of photographs taken with vintage and pinhole cameras, documenting the 'no-man's land' between trenches on the Western Front, a century later. By incorporating objects from the battle sites into the darkroom printing process, dodging, burning, and overlaying the photographs with maps of stars, Bos conveys the emotional depth of these landscapes.
