The Annual
Joy of Reading Celebration

We've Gone Virtual!
The Joy of Reading Celebration is going virtual! Meet your favorite authors virtually, coming this March!
We look forward to hosting The Almost Epic Squad!
The Joy of Reading Celebration was inspired by the Forest of Reading; Canada's largest literacy event for young readers. Karen Upper, Itinerant Librarian for the Near North District School Board, recognized the need for this type of celebration in the Almaguin Highlands.
