Framework
Iniw Ayamihcikewinekwah Acimowinah Aymitah
Desire: We have a deep desire to create lifelong readers.
First step: Access to Books
Guiding principles:
Cultivate a culture of reading
Infuse Cree language and oral storytelling tradition
Library service without borders=Community is the Library
Foster connections that traditional education often overlooks such as family book clubs
Provide resources and support to families
Goals:
To promote reading year around
To promote reading in summer when the reading loss is the highest
Objectives:
To give books/Library in a Box to children
To provide First Nation libraries with books
To support the emergent reading network
To explore new ‘Reading Navigation’ channels
To train a pool of volunteer reading facilitators/Readers Leaders!
Set-up a reading tipi
Create support and awareness:
Support the classroom reading corners
Do presentations in schools
Distribute books at NoFrills Retail chain
Create awareness to use the Library in a Box as a tool for birthday parties,
book clubs, family get-togethers show- n- tell
Host a book exchange
Explore ways of barter system or exchange, e.g. Beads for books
Project Managers Note: The report covers the time period June to December 2014. We distributed more
than what is recorded in this report. However, this report can be used as a precursor benchmark for
navigating book distribution pathways using community infrastructure.
