On July 2, 2015, influential social activist Gemma Hickey began a 908-kilometer walk across the island of Newfoundland to raise awareness and funds for survivors of religious institutional abuse. Almost Feral celebrates the community of support that gathered around this journey and recounts Hickey’s remarkable story of self-discovery. Almost Feral is #NLReads book for January!

Books provide solace in times of unrest; at least, that's usually the case. Like many, I found it difficult to finish a book this past year. In the end, I did manage to find solace, and more, in these titles. - Natasha Wells, Regional Librarian What were some of your favourite reads this year? We'd love to know! #favouriteread #booksareessential To check out these titles visit www.nlpl.ca (some titles are only available at elibrary.overdrive.com).

We couldn't agree more!
