RLC is a province-wide program for students in grades 4 and 5 that promotes the "sport of reading." In teams of six, children read and become familiar with a set of six selected books, and then compete as a team in a series of quiz challenges. Click here to learn more.
Each year, students at our local schools participate in choosing and voting for their favourite books, both fiction and non-fiction. Voters should read a minimum of five books in the category (fiction or non-fiction books) in which they are voting.
The library has copies of all the Red Cedar titles, and many are available in eBook and eAudiobook.
Thanks for a great summer!We had another wonderful summer of reading, writing, and playing. If your child hasn't received their SRC medal yet, please stop by the Youth Services Desk to pick one up.
Stay tuned for details about our next Summer Reading Club, coming Spring 2019. |
