A Halifax NS library recently celebrated its tenth anniversary. One of the Youth Services  librarians at the Tantallon Public Library thought it would be interesting to ask authors from around the world to write a letter to Halifax youth explaining the benefits of visiting libraries and reading in general.

The response was amazing to say the least. Over 55 letters were sent to the library from authors including Christopher Paolini, Robert Munsch, Mo Willems, Ann Louise MacDonald, Meg Cabot and more.

This is definitely worth a read. Maybe we should all send letters to our libraries and librarians telling them how much they mean to us.
