Скачать или смотреть I Read Canadian Day: February 17, 2021

In these uncertain times, when we seek to connect even while physically distanced, the goals of the second annual I Read Canadian Day, February 17, 2021, will resonate now more than ever. The event will be a national celebration of Canadian books for young people, with the goal of elevating the genre, and celebrating their breadth and diversity. I Read Canadian Day will take place in homes, schools, libraries and bookstores all across the country.

The goal of I Read Canadian Day 2021, is for children nationwide to read a Canadian book for fifteen minutes on February 17th. On Saturday, February 13th, events will be held at bookstores all across Canada with creators taking part in readings and signings.

The social media campaign, using the hashtag #IReadCanadian will launch in November on I Read Canadian’s official Twitter and Instagram accounts. Register your class, library or home to participate today at the official website: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA.... Key activities will take place February 13 to February 21, with February 17 as the official I Read Canadian Day. On that day at noon ET, a series of videos called I Write Canadian will premiere on Bibliovideo. Presentations from an amazing roster of authors and illustrators will be featured to celebrate I Read Canadian.

I Read Canadian Day was created as a collaboration between the Canadian Children’s Book Centre (CCBC); children’s author Eric Walters; CANSCAIP (Canadian Society of Children’s Authors, Illustrators and Performers); and the Ontario Library Association (OLA.). This year, Communication-Jeunesse and Canadian School Libraries (CSL) have joined the steering committee, and will respectively be helping the event reach more French-Language Canadians and school librarians.
