From October 6 to 12, Asian Library will participate in the annual celebration of Science Literacy Week in Canada! This year’s theme, “From Sea to Space,” invites everyone to reflect on science’s role in shaping our understanding of the world. Guided by the theme, this selection of books explores the vastness between sea and space, highlighting diverse environmental activities and living things with a glimpse into different cultural lives. Through textual and pictorial works, the list covers a broad range of subjects to tell the stories of fish, plants, mountains, glaciers, fossils, ocean, the solar system, and so on.
Join us on this exciting journey from sea to space through books! As always, we welcome you to visit our branch and collection to discover more fun materials.
