This January, we are partnering with Steps to Literacy to welcome all libraries and schools across North America to join our ninth annual winter reading challenge, which features our very own Benny the Bean and offers the chance to win exciting prizes! As we kick off the new year with fresh resolutions, we remind readers that, while the journey of reading is fun and rewarding for all ages, it is even more enjoyable when you share that journey with a friend or loved one.
