READ IN Week is October 3-7, 2022

Although literacy and learning events occur throughout the year, READ IN Week is a special time for our city to celebrate reading. READ IN emphasizes sharing your love of reading with others, introducing friends and family to your favourite books, and treating reading as a community event rather than a solitary pursuit. Read-aloud and storytime are the bread and butter of READ IN week, whether in a school, a library, a community agency, or at home.
