YK Kids Read Indigenous Authors
The Yellowknife Public Library is celebrating five wonderful Indigenous Canadian picture books and we want children to help choose Yellowknife’s favourite! We’re inviting children ages 3 to 8 to take part in this special reading experience. How does it work? Listen to the YouTube video below of staff reading the books and have the children choose their favourite. Please email: library@yellowknife.ca with the child(ren)'s name and the title of the book they chose. Votes will be tallied and the winning book will be celebrated in June during National Indigenous History Month. The Library will host a special reading of the winning book, along with light refreshments. Stay tuned for more details on the event date and time, to be announced in May.
