📚 Le mois de la Francophonie 2023 📚
Le mois de la Francophonie est le moment idéal pour découvrir toute la richesse de la littérature de langue française du Canada. Voici quelques titres qui nous ont fascinés ces dernières années, dans une variété de genres littéraires y compris de la science-fiction, des romans, des bandes dessinées et de la poésie. La littérature francophone est actuelle, elle peut être drôle ou dérangeante, la langue peut être soutenue ou familière. Nous aimons qu'elle reflète nos communautés dans toute leur diversité, avec tous leurs défis et questionnements.
As the largest French and English bilingual public library in North America, Ottawa Public Library invites Francophones and Francophiles of all ages to enjoy several special programs and explore OPL’s many resources in French during Mois de la Francophonie. Celebrate the power of the French language and its cultural impact with us at the library this Francophonie Month!
