Over the past four years, hundreds of Canadians — readers, educators, librarians, publishers, parents, and writers from every part of the country — met at a series of three National Reading Summits to create a National Reading Plan. The National Reading Plan addresses ways to ensure that all Canadians — regardless of age, background, income level, level of education, or location — have access to reading of all kinds and in all platforms. The National Reading Campaign will begin the work of putting this exciting and challenging plan into place from coast to coast.  Vivian Howard has been invited to join the National Reading Campaign as Atlantic Canadian representative on the Campaign Outreach Committee.  The focus of the National Reading Campaign fits well with Dr. Howard’s research interests into the role of pleasure reading for diverse groups.  For more information on the National Reading Campaign, see http://nationalreadingcampaign.ca/
