Durham Forest of Reading Celebration

This event will be hosted by libraries of the Durham District School Board (DDSB) and the Durham Catholic District School Board (DCDSB). It is an annual event celebrating our schools’ and students’ participation in the Annual Ontario Library Association (OLA) Forest of Reading program.

There will be 13 Canadian OLA authors in attendance for the celebration. Throughout the year, students read nominated books from the Durham Forest of Reading program. They voted on their favourite books this past April. Students will find out the winners at the celebration. The winning books will make up the Silver Birch and Red Maple program for 2018/2019.
