Welcome to the Adopt-a-Library Literacy Program website!

Building a sense of community through literacy

The Adopt-a-Library Program gives children and youth tools and the skills so they have the power to decide not to engage in criminal behaviour. The tools and skills come through literacy.  The Program works by partnering libraries with police. They bring together other community partners such as businesses, service clubs and agencies.

The results are:

  • Book collections that intrigue, inspire, educate and inform.
  • Programming that builds respect, sense of community, self-esteem and pride.
  • Safe community places for individuals and families, away from violence, drugs and gangs.

Please join us in making a brighter future for all!
