Back Lane Studios at the Libraries!

Earlier this year, we showed some of our short documentaries at the Yorkville Library Branch and the High Park Library branch.. We had quite a number of videos centred on those neighbourhood. We thank the libraries Senior Services Specialist Vanessa Sparks, Yorkville branch librarian Zoe Johnstone and High Park librarian Jennifer Barratt for the opportunity.

We have  another library show  coming up in the Junction:

Annette Library Branch: Tuesday, November 10 from 6:00–8:00 p.m. The inspiration for our Mapping our Memories project came from Lois Broad, whose video Growing up in the Junction has now attracted more than 9,000 views. The popularity of her video, which was made by a group of seniors, told us that people are interested in seniors’ stories about their neighbourhoods. Sadly, Lois passed away last year at the age of 97. She is sorely missed, but her contagious laugh and story-telling prowess lives on in the videos she made. Join us at the Annette library to watch videos from Lois and others who have taken part in our project to collect and map seniors’ memories on our Mapping our Memories website.
