Article content

Callander Public Library has won the $10,000 national TD Summer Reading Club Library Awards.

Earlier this week, the library won the $4,000 Canadian Federation of University Women’s Literacy Award for an outstanding application aimed at enhancing children’s programming services.

The TD Summer Reading Club awards recognize and reward the most innovative and effective programs in each official language in local public libraries across Canada.

Library and Archives Canada (LAC), along with the Toronto Public Library and TD Bank Group, manage the national TD Summer Reading Club and the awards.

This free program is co-created and delivered by 2,061 public libraries across Canada, with 718,399 participants in more than 38,000 programs. It celebrates Canadian authors, illustrators and stories, and is designed to inspire kids to explore the fun of reading their way – the key to building a lifelong love of reading.

In 2017 Callander Public Library offered the TD Summer Reading Program with a record number of partners, including FIRST 1305 Robotics Team, Ice Cubed to deliver two one-week Lego/Robotics camps.

The children participated in the TD Club activities in the morning, and after lunch jumped into learning to use Lego to develop engineering skills.

Children can begin registering for the free 2018 TD Summer Reading Club and/or the Library/FIRST 1305 One week Lego/Robotics Camp at a cost of $150 next week.
