Silver Birch and Red Maple Award Reading Programs
The Brockville Public Library will be offering the Ontario Public Library Association’s Silver Birch and Red Maple Award Reading Programs this year.
The goal of these programs is to encourage Ontario children to explore a variety of current Canadian children’s books and to give them the opportunity to have a voice in the selection of the winning titles. Between January and April, children are encouraged to read from a selected list and then vote for their favourite titles. Winners are announced at a special award ceremony in May. For more information on the Forest of Reading 2012 program visit the OLA website.
Silver Birch is designed for children in grades 3-6 and celebrates Canadian authors and illustrators while encouraging a love of reading.
Red Maple is geared toward children in grades 7 & 8 and aims to engage readers in conversation around books and encourages them to use critical thinking while reading.
Forest of Reading programs will run six Saturday mornings between January and April.
Contact Lisa Cirka at 613-342-3936 or lisa@brockvillelibrary.ca for more information or to register.
