Word on the Street
a Huge Success
Vancouver’s 5th annual Word on the Street Festival
Sunday, September 26 attracted thousands of people to the downtown Vancouver
Public Library for a day of author readings, book and periodical selling,
family fun and entertainment. A special thanks to Starbucks Coffee
Company for sponsoring Starbucks Literacy Lane, a celebration and promotion
of family literacy with literacy and learning-based exhibitors, hands-on
activities, and readings for all ages.
Literacy Lane featured a tree of paper leaves, on which
children and adults were asked to write the names of their favourite books or
authors. Shown here are a few of the “leaves” contributed by some of
the visitors to the Literacy BC display table.
