Seven Simcoe County Libraries are participating in Simcoe Reads 2021 – Barrie, Essa, Innisfil, Midland, New Tecumseth, Ramara and Bradford West Gwillimbury. Each Library’s book is defended by a local champion who will debate the merits of their book in September 2021. BWG Library is proud to have Emily Dalhgren defending Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin.
