Welcome to the Children's Literature Centre!

The Children's Literature Centre promotes literacy by:

  • Providing a focal point for the study and dissemination of children's literature.
  • Serving as the catalyst for new and innovative approaches to building the foundations of literacy through technology.
  • Developing positive attitudes toward reading through a collaborative network including home, school and community.
  • Working to cultivate an awareness and understanding of current children's literature, authors and illustrators.
  • Building a bridge to cultural understanding through children's literature.

The CLC's Book Campaign!

Please consider making a gift this year to allow us to share new books with children who visit the CLC as well as to grow our collection of books in our new space!
