Literacy unlocks the door to self-expression, creativity, and imagination.It’s also a key to learning, communication, and critical thinking. Educators need a robust toolbox to inspire children and teens to take a break from screens and embrace books. Presentations by professional authors, illustrators, and storytellers are a vibrant and dynamic tool to get kids excited about reading and writing.We strive to give Alberta’s children and youth the basis for the quality of life they deserve.  Through our programs, we create opportunities for Alberta’s young people to be inspired by the province’s literary artists. Every child should experience the joy of reading and writing and have the opportunity to experience the arts to discover their creativity and imagination and to develop strong literacy skills.
