Read-a-ma-Tazz!
Terry Fox Library is on the road with our outreach literacy program Read-a-ma-Tazz! Parents and children can join a reading circle with stories and songs, and each child receives a free book to take home. Read-a-ma-Tazz! is aimed at families with children, ages 0-5. We currently partner with the YMCA, SD43 Strong Start, Fraser Health and the Tri-City Women’s Resource Centre. Please contact us if your community group is interested in the program or for a schedule of upcoming visits. Read-a-ma-Tazz! is proudly sponsored by Can-West Raise-A-Reader.
