By all accounts, the inaugural I READ CANADIAN DAY, held on February 19, 2020, was a resounding success. The organizers of this national day of celebration of Canadian books -- spearheaded by renowned and prolific children's author Eric Walters -- are already talking about a repeat event next year. Any schools, libraries, bookstores, or other groups and individuals who want to get involved in next year's celebration should keep an eye on the I Read Canadian website.
And consider donating to the I Read Canadian Fund, which supports getting Canadian books into the hands of young people across the country. See the website for details.
