ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Janet Hodgkins, UE, brings a lifelong passion for history, storytelling, and genealogy to this lecture. A graduate of McMaster University (B.A., Honours History) and the University of Western Ontario (Master of Library Science), she spent her career as a Children's Librarian at the Welland Public Library where she honed the art of bringing stories to life.
