Having fun with literacy and learning: children make art, play games and read May 2 at the May Hakongak Community Library and Cultural Centre in Cambridge Bay. The centre, located in in the same building as the Kiilinik High School, features a high-ceilinged and welcoming environment for people of all ages in the western Nunavut community of 1,500 including after school programs and toys for tots. The library, open since 2002, is run by the Kitikmeot Heritage Society. (PHOTO COURTESY OF THE KITIKMEOT HERITAGE SOCIETY)
