(CBC) Markham Public Library apologized on Monday for an employee email posted online that suggested it was going to take down Islamic Heritage Month displays.
According to images shared on social media of the email, Markham Public Library (MPL) was going to pull the displays due to the situation in the Middle East.
“The email is inaccurate,” Catherine Biss, CEO of the library, said in a statement. “Markham Public Library regrets this occurred and we apologize for any confusion or hurt this has caused the community.”
The email was addressed to branch librarians, branch managers and to staff who are part of what is called readers advisory.
