The Clearview Public Library is thrilled to announce that its TD Summer Reading Club program received the 2022 TD Summer Reading Club (TDSRC) Library Award at the Saskatchewan Libraries Conference. Out of all participating Canadian public libraries, Clearview Public Library received the second-place prize of $4,000. This monetary award will be used to enhance library services.
TDSRC is Canada’s largest, bilingual summer reading program for children. Children, with their parents/caregivers, can participate by reading books in print and online, tracking their progress, participating in literacy-related activities and more. 2022 marked a return to in-person library programs at the Clearview Public Library, and attendance reflected the excitement of children in our community to return to the Library.
TDSRC and the awards are sponsored by the TD Bank Group, while Library and Archives Canada supervise the administration of the selection committees (one for each official language). The jurors are chosen from the fields of children’s literature, librarianship, literacy and education.
Clearview Public Library CEO Jennifer La Chapelle is delighted with this recognition of the library’s summer reading program, “We’re not just an award-winning building!”. Deputy CEO Michele McKenzie attended the Saskatchewan Libraries Conference to receive the award on behalf of the Clearview Public Library. Attendance costs were covered by Library and Archives Canada as part of the award.
