Celebrating National School Library Day (Oct. 25)

The October 22nd New Westminster (British Columbia) News Leader had an article about the school district’s celebration of National School Library Day. The plan was for guest speakers–superintendents, police officers, an Edmonton Oilers goalie–to visit the Kindergarten to Grade Eight classrooms and read from their favorite books. The response was larger than expected, so School Library Day (Oct. 25) was extended to last a whole week.

    In Edmonton, Alberta the public libraries, public schools, separate (Catholic) schools, the colleges, and maybe others participate in Read-In Week. This has taken place at the beginning of October for the last 15 years. Authors, sports and media personalities, educational leaders, parents and other noteworthy persons are invited to read in the schools and libraries. I am a school custodian and read to some classes every year.

    Each year a different theme is selected. As this year is Edmonton’s 100th anniversary as a city a historical theme was used.

    If you google Read In Week Edmonton there are several websites. I see they even call it International Read In Week now.
