Hockey Rants and Raves [electronic resource] : by Glynn, Steve "Dangle".aut; cloudLibrary;
The hottest takes and biggest beefs about hockey from the wildly popular podcaster and YouTuber Who would be on the Mount Rushmore of goalies? Is Gretzky the Greatest Player of All Time (a.k.a. GOATzky)? What are the most embarrassing Leaf losses of all time? Why would you choose to play in a small market? Steve “Dangle” Glynn was already a popular talking head on Sportsnet the night the Leafs lost to their own back-up goalie (and Zamboni driver), but his fandom skyrocketed after his rant following the hilarious mishap gained one million views on YouTube.

He shares his rants and opinions about all teams across the NHL, directing his laser focus onto hockey’s greatest arguments, from the best players of all time, to the worst trades, to the most embarrassing Leafs losses. From one of the most unique voices in hockey, Hockey Rants and Raves is packed with passionate, honest and often humorous takes on all things hockey—required reading for all fans of the game.

Barefoot Skateboarders [electronic resource] : by Singh, Rina.aut; Casson, Sophie.ill; CloudLibrary;
Key Selling Points When a skatepark is built in the tiny village of Janwaar, in northern India, Ramkesh and the local children begin to discover the joys of a new sport, regardless of caste or gender, which not only introduces their village to the world but also gives them a newfound sense of unity and hope. Based on a true story, this book highlights the concept of sport as an instrument of joy and shows its ability to unite people; it also showcases children's instincts to treat each other as equals, despite the imposed divisions of the adult world, and the concept of the younger generation leading the way to a brighter future. Rina Singh has a very personal connection to Janwaar, as she's visited there and met many of the skateboarding children and their parents (including Ramkesh), as well as the founder of the project, Ulrike Reinhard. Rina tutored some of the children online for a while, and she still keeps in touch with them to this day. Sophie Casson is an accomplished illustrator who brings her own unusual and eye-catching style to this book. A short film called Janwaar, by Danny Schmidt, was made about the Janwaar skatepark (officially called Janwaar Castle), and the Netflix film Skater Girl is a fictionalized version of the life of Asha, one of the skateboarders featured in the book.The remote village of Janwaar in Northern India has been the same for a long time, with the community strictly divided into castes. It's a quiet village… until the construction project begins. Ramkesh can't tell what it will be—it's all ramps and hills. When it's done, he sees kids playing on it, on strange boards with wheels... Soon, he's invited to try, and he's hooked—practicing tricks and soaring on his skateboard. At first, it's all boys, but Ramkesh invites his sister, and other girls join too. Word gets out that the tiny village is a hotbed of skateboarding talent, and people flock from all over to see it, and to teach the kids new tricks. Ramkesh and his friends even get invited to travel, gaining the first-ever passports for their village. But most important, they come back home to tell of their journeys...and to lead the way for Janwaar into the future, with a newfound sense of joy and unity.Children/juvenile.

True Confessions from the Ninth Concession [electronic resource] : by Needles, Dan.aut; CloudLibrary;
Author and playwright Dan Needles has long delighted readers and audiences alike with his insightful and laugh-out-loud perspective on small-town life, published in such bestselling books as Wingfield's World (Random House, 2011), Wingfield's Hope (Key Porter, 2005), With Axe and Flask (McFarlane, Walter and Ross, 2002) and Letters From Wingfield Farm (Key Porter, 1988). In 1988, Needles and his wife left the city to start a family in a country community located two hours north of Toronto. Together they stocked their farm with sheep, cattle, chickens, pigs and, eventually, four children. Needles' charming chronicle unfolds in essays dated from 1997 to 2016, offering homespun advice for successful country living--like whether to wave from the elbow or to merely raise one finger from the steering wheel when passing a neighbour in the car. He cautions on rural superstitions, such as when his neighbour hesitated before selling him weaner pigs because every time he does the wife of the farmer who's buying them becomes pregnant--which turned out to be true. Here too is the tale of an unlikely friendship between a "borderline" collie ("he's never bitten anything in his life and the sheep are catching on") and an odd duck named Ferdinand, as well as other hilarious stories involving an assortment of farm animals, including the weapon of choice to properly dispatch a rooster-gone-bad; the risks of giving a name to a potential Sunday dinner entrée; and how to outsmart a free-range pig. With his witty insight, Needles shares the art of neighbouring in the country--a place made for visits, and "where a figure walking across your field is more of a reason to put the kettle on than to call the police." True Confessions from the Ninth Concession is a sesquicentennial crop of antics and aphorisms by Canada's funniest farmer--one that presents a wonderful escape for world-weary city dwellers, and affirmative reading for anyone who is from, or has moved to, rural Canada.General adult.

Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You A Remix of the National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning [electronic resource] : by Reynolds, Jason.aut; Kendi, Ibram X..aut; CloudLibrary;
A timely, crucial, and empowering exploration of racism--and antiracism--in America This is NOT a history book. This is a book about the here and now. A book to help us better understand why we are where we are. A book about race. The construct of race has always been used to gain and keep power, to create dynamics that separate and silence. This remarkable reimagining of Dr. Ibram X. Kendi's National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning reveals the history of racist ideas in America, and inspires hope for an antiracist future. It takes you on a race journey from then to now, shows you why we feel how we feel, and why the poison of racism lingers. It also proves that while racist ideas have always been easy to fabricate and distribute, they can also be discredited. Through a gripping, fast-paced, and energizing narrative written by beloved award-winner Jason Reynolds, this book shines a light on the many insidious forms of racist ideas--and on ways readers can identify and stamp out racist thoughts in their daily lives.Young adult.
