About the National Reading Campaign

In 2008 a group of volunteers — writers, teachers,

librarians, parents, young people, and book and magazine

publishers — got together to talk about a nationwide way

to make Canada a country of readers. Over the course of

four years, the group grew and organized three national

summits, held in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver (with

distance participation from across the country). The

summits provided an opportunity to learn about the

national reading plans around the world, from Brazil to the

Netherlands, to discuss the best of the many innovative

programs already in place in Canada, and to use this

information as a base for developing our own National

Reading Plan. Word has spread and more volunteers have

come together in working groups of more than a hundred

participants. The National Reading Plan is the fruit of all

this information.

In 2012, The National Reading Campaign was

incorporated as a not-for profit organization.

The main goal of the text is:

Sometimes the Dashwood girls do not seem like sisters.

Elinor is all calmness and reason, and can be relied upon

for practical, common sense opinions. Marianne, on the

other hand, is all sensibility, full of passionate and romantic

feeling. True love can only be felt by the young, of course.

And if your heart is broken at the age of seventeen, how

can you ever expect to recover?
