Mayor Reads: The Good Little Book

Mayor Reads May episode is related to all the “Good Little Books” that are out there to inspire readers.

These videos are one of the ways that Edmonton’s Mayor Don Iveson connects to community. As a father of 2 young children and a champion for literacy as well as our public library - he understands the value of sharing books. He has countless invitations to read to school groups but can't possibly accept them all. In an effort to “share our Mayor” and connect to children (and adults) through books we have created a project called Mayor Reads. We are so pleased to have the support of EPL for this project as they are happily “sharing” with the promotion of these videos. Monthly episodes are based on books which may be related to seasonal themes or city issues that would appeal to our intended audience of elementary students and families.

The Good Little Book was chosen as a tribute to the power of books. We hope that children will continue to seek out more good books and participate in the Edmonton Public Library’s Summer Reading Program.
