The Library Information Centre is pleased to sponsor the White Pine Reading Club.

The White Pine Award™ reading program offers high school teens at all grade levels the opportunity to read the best of Canada's recent young adult fiction titles. Students choose to read from 10 nominated Canadian young adult books and then vote for their favourite book. Based on student voting across the province, the most popular book is then selected and author is honoured with the White Pine Award™. The goals of the White Pine Award™ program are:>to promote reading for enjoyment among high school students >to make students aware of quality Canadian young adult books >to provide opportunities for students to discuss the nominated titles in an authentic manner

Students who participate benefit from discussions of the books, draws for prizes, and involvement with other teens who enjoy reading.
