This unique program introduces grade four students in Mississauga to their local public library. The goals of the program are to ignite a joy of reading, to promote reading for pleasure throughout the school year, and to encourage students to visit their public library on a regular basis. At the end of each school year, we wrap up the program by inviting the classes with the highest participation rates across the City to an exciting celebratory event at Celebration Square! Funding for this program is generously donated by The Friends of the Mississauga Library.
