Pledge to make a difference, together.
The Young Alberta Book Society celebrates its thirtieth year of literacy advocacy in Alberta during the 2013-2014 school year. Our mandate is to get school-aged children and teenagers excited about reading, writing, illustrating and storytelling. We provide an exciting mix of programming that offers something for every school aged child and teenager in Alberta. Our signature event is Taleblazers, a month long touring festival that puts some of Alberta's finest professional authors, illustrators and storytellers for young people in schools and libraries across the province. Our other programs are Story Avenue, writing workshops for inner city school children grades 5-7 in Edmonton; two Wordpower tours, reaching students in rural communities; administer the Dr. Charles Allard Win-a-Literary-Artist Program as well as the Martyn Godfrey Young Writers Award. We house The Alberta Collection, a lending library.
