Reading program launches new website, revamped mascot
It’s been 32 years since the Northern Reading Program was launched in 1992 and the Pahkisimon Nuye?áh Library System (PNLS) is celebrating with a new website and updated mascot.
“We just today went live with a brand new SaskPower Northern Reading Program website, so anybody can go to it and that’s where [people] can register,” said PNLS teacher librarian Roseanne Dery.
“It runs throughout January and February and it’s open to schools, libraries and it is also open to the public. Anyone from the Northern Saskatchewan Administrative District is welcome to register and participate in the reading program.”
The program is meant to improve the literacy rates in northern Saskatchewan by creating an interactive contest. It’s designed so northerners can challenge each other by reading the most. Prizes include free books and other items that have been either donated by publishers or purchased through sponsorship funding.
