Meet Grace, our new Co-op student
I am a final semester Bachelor of Education student, passionate about teaching and literacy. My love for reading stems from childhood and continues to inspire me today. Currently, I’m implementing an amazing literacy initiative called “1000 Books Before Kindergarten” at my CO-OP placement. This program encourages families to read together and is entirely self-paced. Families can register for free at the library, and it will be available in a few weeks. I’m thrilled for this opportunity to share my love of books and learning with the community.

Dyslexia Awareness Month
October is Dyslexia Awareness Month and thanks to a micro grant from the International Dyslexia Association Ontario and its Read October campaign we have been able to add “decodable books” to our children’s collection! The Petawawa Public Library is happy to help raise awareness of dyslexia and the resources available in our own library.
