I Read Canadian Day, a first-ever nationwide initiative that celebrates the richness and diversity of Canadian literature, will be marked with a number of events at the Tsawwassen Library.

The library is hosting I Read Canadian Week from Feb. 18 to 22, an extension of I Read Canadian Day that is on Feb. 19.

The library’s regular Storytimes from 10:30 to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 18 and Friday, Feb. 21 will feature some great Canadian reads.

On Saturday, Feb. 22 at 10:30 a.m., Canadian author Heather Tekavec will be at the library for a Storytime Meet & Greet, sharing some adventures from her stories. Tekavec is the author of 13 children’s books which have been translated into 12 languages and sold around the world. She developed her love for picture books while working as a preschool teacher. 

Throughout the month of February kids can add a maple leaf to the wall for every Canadian book they read. Booklists and bookmarks highlighting some of the library’s favourite Canadian books will be available.
