Learn about Indigenous storytelling and create your story map.
Learn about Indigenous storytelling and craft your story map. Story maps create a link to the star stories and the Indigenous history of oral storytelling. They use visual images and other sensory material to create memory cues and provide access to traditional knowledge. Indigenous people around the world have used visual mnemonics to carry stories forward for thousands of years. Presented by local artist Jim Adams.

The Waterdown Branch was established in 1966 and moved to the Mill Street North location in 1979. In December 2015, the Branch moved to its new location, 163 Dundas St. E.
The Branch offers several improved service features including: accessibility, more public-access computers and dedicated study spaces. The Branch now has a bigger collection and a redesigned children's area, which houses kid-friendly technology and activities. With the new layout and larger space, more programs will be offered in the Branch and when the weather is agreeable, a reading patio overlooking Dundas Street and the Escarpment will be opened.
