Launch of Booking Better Futures Program

Mar 30, 2016 | 9:37 AM

The North Battleford Library and Lakeland Library Region are pleased to announce the launch of a new program, Booking Better Futures.

The goal of the program is to increase literacy, reduce crime, and build stronger communities through providing children’s books to low-income homes and developing positive relationships with the library and the RCMP.

This program was developed in partnership with the local RCMP and with consultation from KidsFirst.

Booking Better Futures is officially launching on April 13th, when library staff members will visit the Toddler Activity Group run by KidsFirst and the Battlefords Early Childhood Intervention Program to hand out books and information about library services.

The books, donated by library book vendors United Library Services and Library Services Canada, are brand new and are a mixture of board books and picture books for little ones, with some easy chapter books for older siblings.
