Mike Diakuw, aka “Captain Orange”, is a father, performer and library storyteller with more than 25 years of experience working with and entertaining children. Mike’s love of stories, diverse technology, improvisation and active engagement with an audience have led him to everything from musical theater to childcare to performing weekly at Saskatoon Public Library.

The Round Prairie Library opened in 2017 and was named in honour of the La Prairie Round (or Round Prairie) Métis, who were a community of buffalo hunters that established a wintering site near Dakota Whitecap in the late 1800s. In the 1920s and 1930s many in the community were forced to migrate to Saskatoon in search of work, and by the 1940s they had established a permanent and close-knit community near the current site of the library. This library includes an Innovation Lab and Video Game Room.
