We are excited to kick off a fun reading challenge for all ages celebrating Canadian authors from across the country.
Readers are invited to explore books from five Canadian regions, and you can find great suggestions on the online catalog including:
– English and French titles
– Separate reading lists for youth and adults
How to take part
