Roch Carrier is Canada's National Librarian and the beloved author
of many Canadian classics for both adults and children. In 1968 he
published his hugely successful novel, La Guerre, Yes Sir!. He has
written many novels, short stories, plays, film and television
scripts, essays, travel books, and poetry. Several of his works
have become classics and are used in schools and universities
around the world. His much-loved children's story, The Hockey
Sweater, remains a timeless favorite. In 1991, Roch Carrier was
awarded the Stephen Leacock Award for Humour for Prayers of a Very
Wise Child. Among his many other awards and honors, Mr. Carrier is
a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, an Officer of the Order of
Canada, and the holder of many honorary doctorates. All this from

the village has a brand new library - the Roch Carrier Library.
