Libraries abroad: Olympic Fever in Canada’s Libraries

Canada's caught Olympic fever, and the country's libraries are not immune. Library and Archives Canada has mounted two outdoor exhibits, one in Vancouver and one in Ottawa, featuring portraits of Olympians past. Twenty-three of the finest athletes the land of the maple leaf has produced are the stars of “Portraits In the Street” and “Portraits On Ice”. Photographs, drawings, and paintings all combine to showcase medalists and other history-making participants in the Winter games.
