“In celebration of our 70th Anniversary of library service on PEI and Provincial Library Week 2004, the Literacy Expo is designed to share information on the many learning opportunities available in Prince Edward Island and to make the general public more aware of services for children, families and adult learners,” said Minister of Community and Cultural Affairs, Elmer MacFadyen.

The expo will include: a display of historic library photos dating back to 1933; a large book draw; Frontier College’s Reading Tent; opportunities for volunteers to join Project L.O.V.E.; a presentation of Storysacks from the Provincial Correction Centre to the branch libraries; a display of Adult learning materials by the Adult and Community Education Association; an exhibit from Workplace Education PEI; presentations on literacy activities sponsored by the PEI Literacy Alliance; a display of literature for French learners by Société éducative de l'Î.-P.-É.; lots of freebies and prizes for everyone!
