International Literacy Day is celebrated annually on September 8 to highlight the critical importance of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights.
This year, The Learning Exchange is grateful to receive $400 from Literacy Quebec to purchase books from Book Outlet. We are excited to put these books into the hands of families with young children in the Laval area and help foster a love of reading and learning from an early age.
Happy International Literacy Day!
International Children’s Book Day (ICBD) promotes the importance of literacy and reading to our children.
Since 1967, on or around Hans Christian Andersen’s birthday, 2 April, ICBD is celebrated to inspire a love of reading and to call attention to children’s books. What was your favourite story as a kid? Children’s Book Day encourages you to get it out and read it through again, maybe to your children or grandchildren. Celebrate the day with a great children’s book!
