We are so grateful for this funding! Red Deer & area teachers and librarians jumped right on this and we have a waiting list. Thank you so much, @RDCommunityFdn, we're going to reach so many deserving kids in Central Alberta thanks to your generous support
Community Foundation of Central Alberta@RDCommunityFdn
A grant of $3450 was awarded to the @YABStweet for their Seeds of Stories program which provides author, illustrator or storyteller visits to Alberta schools at no cost to the school. We're happy to help foster literacy and a love of reading among central Alberta students.

⏳Martyn Godfrey Award is extended❗️The deadline was right in the middle of spring break for most AB districts. To give students a little more time to enjoy their breaks and still get stories in on time, we have extended the deadline to noon on April 8!

One of our favourite programs is this month! We're not able to gather with our Story Avenue students as usual, so we'll be meeting their classes online this year. Thanks so much to our sponsors @WerklundFndtn, Telus's @FriendlyFuture, and @EdPubTeachers Local 37! 🥰

@Marty_Chan We were lamenting today that it feels like we’re in the 7th week of January. This definitely made things feel a little lighter!

Best way to end a day of virtual visits is to read an email from a third grade teacher about the impact I had on her students:
"My kids have never been that involved and active during ANY writing virtual guest I have tried."
Thanks @YABStweet for making this possible!

@rachelnseigel @AuthorsBooking Hi Rachel! Our entire roster is Alberta literary artists, many of whom are in the Edmonton area. We'd be happy to help them out! They can email Jenn at info@yabs.ab.ca

I have a library requesting some information about authors either living in Edmonton or willing to fly there for author visits. Other than @AuthorsBooking is there anywhere else I should direct them?
