Guides: Redpath Book Display: Self-Isolation Care Package

Dear McGill Community & Beyond,

We know you could probably find a lot of this information on your own, or perhaps you were already aware of the great virtual tools out there for entertainment, but we couldn't help ourselves. This situation is new and strange to all of us and so we hope within this guide that you will find a little something to brighten your day.

Our staff helped put together a few of our favourite things, some you will find in the McGill Library catalogue and others might just be our go-to podcasts, recipes, or Netflix binge recommendations. Whatever it is, we hope that you find the same enjoyment in these things as we have.

Until such time comes that we can put up another book display in the Redpath main floor hall, look for us here.

All the best & stay well,

McLennan-Redpath Library

If you could learn anything...

We asked around to see what people would most want to learn if they had the time. Not only have we included the staff's answers, but we did our best to find a resource for them. Happy learning!

McGill University is located on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudensaunee and Anishinabeg nations. McGill honours, recognizes and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which we meet today.
