Would you like to read a good Biography?
Have you ever heard of Martha Stewart, Steve Jobs, or Peter Pocklington? It doesn't matter if you are into cooking, entertaining, new technology, or sports, I'm sure these names are as familiar to you as they are to me and maybe, just like me, you'd like to know a bit about the "person." What were they really like? What were their problems? How did they deal with them? What caused their success or failure?
A biography can be just as engrossing as any good fiction story. Why not visit the Business Department on the 4th floor at the North York Central Library and give these a try?
What about Adam Smith, the father of modern economics? Or, have you ever heard of the Lady Landlords of Prince Edward Island, the true story of four women and the challenges they faced as women absentee landlords in a time of great change, industrialization and reform?
There are tales of adventure, bravery and heroism, murder and mayhem. Tales of invention and discovery, crime and corruption, glitter and success. There are tales of overcoming poverty, political and legal injustice. There are tales of women, men, rich, and poor. These are just a few of the interesting and intriguing books we have. They make a great read for the holiday season and beyond.
