If you've ever wanted to read the fiction of J.R.R. Tolkien or Steve Jobs's biography in Ukrainian, now's your chance. They're among the several hundred books available to be checked out at L'Ukrainka, a new library for Ukrainian-language literature that launched earlier this month in Ottawa.
It was "pretty difficult" to find works in Ukrainian before, with few options and long waitlists at the Ottawa Public Library, said Tamara Pastukh, L'Ukrainka's project co-ordinator. The library, which had its public launch on March 22, has about 300 books donated from the community, plus another 70 that came courtesy of the Ukrainian Embassy.
While there is adult-oriented literature, most of the library's current selection is aimed at young people, she added.
