Eric Walters launches summer lending project

School is Out for the Summer 

(and your books should be too!)

This week 

Eric Walters

Canadian author of over 100 books 

for young people 

and recipient of the Order of Canada 

proposed that school libraries in Canada 

run a summer lending program

to help prevent the summer slide

i.e., a decline in reading ability

To get schools on board,

Eric Walters is offering a few "nudges" 

that include 

• a poster and bookmarks (just provide school's address)

• compilation of data to assess the project's successes

and

• very special deals through Orca Book Publishers to help purchase new books

📚📚📚📚📚📚📚

Let's try to involve schools from across Canada, 

from the north to the south, west to east, 

rural and urban, small and large,

by registering

Eric provides full details in an article 

in the newest edition of 

the Canadian School Libraries Journal

 Let's keep all young people reading over the summer!
