Just before children and teens head out for March break, get them thinking about applying to the Ontario Library Association's Forest of Reading's Forest Kid and Teen Committees. Young readers from Grades 3 to 12 are invited to apply to be on one of three committees who will meet via Zoom in early May to talk books and recommend Canadian titles for their peers. These summer reading lists will then be shared to inform young people's reading of recent books by Canadian authors.
Here's what you need to know:
Committees:
There are 3 committees:
Silver Birch Kid Committee (for students in Gr. 3-6)
Red Maple Kid Committee (for students in Gr. 7-8)
Teen Committee (for students in Gr. 9-12)
Applications:
Applicants will be asked to fill out an application here and share favourite Canadian authors and their books, both recently published and of all time. (It is a must that readers are familiar with Canadian authors.)
Deadline:
April 1, 2022
Zoom Meetings:
Selected applicants will meet via virtual Zoom meetings from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM EST on the following dates:
Silver Birch Kid Committee: Monday, May 2, 2022
Red Maple Kid Committee: Tuesday, May 3, 2022
Teen Committee: Thursday, May 5, 2022
Complete details are available from the Forest of Reading Kid and Teen Committees here.

For past reading lists (always helpful for teachers and parents to suggest books to young readers), check out the Forest of Reading site at https://forestofreading.com/kid-teen-committees/. Here are images of last year's recommended titles from the Silver Birch, Red Maple and Teen Committees.
Good luck to all students who apply.
