Member for port modico courton. Thank you, mr speaker. What books are you reading right now, I'm reading mission economy, a book that challenges us to rethink the role of government to put public purpose first, to solve problems of matter to people, it's written by marianna mazucado, someone who's working very closely with our government on our economic recovery plan.

I'm sharing what book I'm reading because today is drop everything and read day, and it's also school live library day and october is library month in bc.

If you aren't currently reading a book, why not stop by your local library and pick something up? Libraries offer children and learners of all ages, including new canadians, a welcoming supportive place to develop a love of reading, but of course, libraries are about more than just books.

If you go to your local library's website, you'll see many events where you can connect with others in your community on common interests. My own port moody library has a very popular baby time. That's not only for babies, but their parents too, where they can come together and and socialize and throughout the pandemic.

Libraries have been on the front lines: delivering services, helping people stay, connected, entertained, informed and prepared. That includes getting access to computers and even printing out your vaccine card. If you need help with that library month is a great time to recognize the critical role the libraries play in building a healthy building, healthy resilient communities and supporting families and learners of all ages. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all library, staff, volunteers and board members across the library sector. Thank you for all. You do.
