Open Shelf

March 15, 2017

In this release, we’re back with an OLA featured member along with some info trends, John Pateman’s Open for all? and a new podcast from OLA’s president and executive director.

Fiona Inglis continues at the helm of Random Library Generator and this month she introduces Sharon Bailey from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto.

John delves into Ontario’s new culture strategy while some of you might decide to plan a writing retreat in Mark Twain’s home–a trend in the making.

Finally, Shelagh Patterson (OLA executive director) and Leslie Weir (OLA president) join forces via the sound waves to give you their take on SuperConference and plans (including strategic) for 2017.

As always, let us know what you think of Open Shelf.

On behalf of the editorial team …

February is Black History Month, Women’s History Month, and of course, the month of valentines. We are debuting cryptic crosswords for all of you who love puzzles with our new column 793.73. This month, we are featuring eight clues that challenge readers to identify eight Black authors whose work is worth celebrating. And we are also featuring articles from women co-edit books, find more respectful ways to describe people and their work, want to live in good relationships on Turtle Island, and land the right job because they know how to make the most of the interview process.

Dear Santa, We’re the Open Shelf editorial team. Our favourite things to do are to engage with our friends in the OLA community. We write, we provide feedback, we get creative with pictures and tweets, we play tag all the time, and just basically have lots of fun. We’ll be snuggled at home during the holiday season, hopefully taking a break from work but still dreaming of new stories we can tell in Open Shelf in 2021. Although this has been a crazy year—the “Year of COVID”—we’ve still been able to play with our Open Shelf contributors and they have sent us lots of great stories to print in the magazine.
