First Book/Le Premier Livre at the National Family Literacy Conference

Written by Wayne C.

First Book/Le Premier Livre recently attended the National Family Literacy Conference in Edmonton, Alberta July 15th – 17th.  The conference had over 300 delegates in attendance and efforts were placed on registering new book recipient groups from across Canada with the support of Pi Beta Phi Alumnae Colleen Murray and Pi Beta Phi University of Alberta Edmonton Chapter President Dianna Campre.

Many attending delegates were surprised to learn about the resources available to them once registered with First Book/Le Premier Livre and have now registered their programs with us.  To learn more about First Book/Le Premier Livre visit www.firstbookcanada.org.
