We are very excited to be able to coordinate this initiate with a fellow agency of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport – it’s a great opportunity to promote the work of an award-winning Ontario author during Ontario Public Library Week.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Kind Regards,
