Q&A with Diana Steele
What is your favourite library memory or experience?
Bringing my sons to the library weekly when they were young.
What is one book you think everyone should read and why?
One book everyone should read is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
It’s a powerful exploration of morality, empathy, and justice through the lens of a young girl, Scout, growing up in a racially divided Southern town. The story tackles heavy themes such as prejudice, inequality, and the loss of innocence with a clarity that resonates across ages and cultures.
Atticus Finch’s stand for what’s right, even when it’s unpopular, is a timeless lesson in integrity. It’s a book that challenges you to think about fairness and compassion in a way that’s both accessible and profound, making it essential for understanding human nature and societal flaws.
What vital role does EPL play in a thriving and vibrant Edmonton?
The Edmonton Public Library (EPL) plays a vital role in fostering a thriving and vibrant Edmonton by serving as a dynamic hub for learning, community connection, and cultural engagement.
If you could be any fictional character, who would you be and why?
Wonder Woman, aka Diana Prince, from DC Comics. She’s a fierce warrior, compassionate leader, and symbol of justice, strength, and equality.
What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned at your local library?
The power of accessible knowledge to transform lives.
If you could host a program at the library, what would it be about?
An all ages show and tell!
