Forest Friday’s
Bringing nominees into your library, classroom or home can be costly and geographically challenging so we are bringing them to you as part of your program registration!
So how will we do this? Nominees will host a 30 minute visit virtually and you will be able to connect from your own computer. Questions will be asked through a monitored chat.
With Forest of Reading program users all over the country this program incentive allows every readers to have the opportunity to listen to some of their favourite nominees wherever they are.
Here are the details:
