Yes, a Toonie can be in the mail to wherever you are in the world!
I hope people will start sharing the ideas and plans they are considering for Open Education Week, if you share them here it will help others think of ideas. Also we have a list of possible event types each with linked examples to ones from last year.

If I can do anything to help, I’m more than happy to, no toonies needed Also, wondering if there are any planned OE week events that are catered to the public library sphere?
Hi Robin! Thanks for your offer to help and/or participate in Open Education Week.
Ideally what we like to see if you are able to organize/offer any kind of event at the library you work in. These do not have to be online, they can be local in-person ones. The idea is to have as much going on in the world as possible. It could be a basic information session or an introduction to open resources made available at your library, even a drop in “ask the librarian” offering.
Just declaring that your library is celebrating this week can count as an event.
You are also welcome to make home here in OEG Connect, any kind of asynchronous discussion, call for responses in the DO OE Week Activities areas Maybe it could be asn ask for ways other public libraries engage in open education practices.
We will have very very soon is a way for you to share any open resources created by you and/or your library.
And the other way of participating is what you do here well, engaging in discussions, taking part in online activities offered elsewhere, and sharing what you learned back here.
The events for this week are just starting to come in, so I cannot say we have ones for public libraries… yet. You might get ideas from the library of previous events – even ones that are not specifically written for libraries could be recrafted to that focus.
I see in 202 the library at Northern Arizona Universite held a drop in session cutely titled "OER Petting Zoo" which really was in invitation to come to the library and gently touch an OER
