WordPower
The Young Alberta Book Society is delighted to announce that there will be two Wordpower programs running in 2012. Both will feature teams of Albertan children’s literary artists touring to schools in rural areas that often find themselves unable to book artist visits on their own due to prohibitive travel costs.
Suncor Wordpower 2012 in the northeast (Fort McMurray and area) will be running April 16-20. Cenovus Wordpower 2012, the inaugural southern tour modeled after its successful northern sister tour, will take place during the week of March 5-9 in the Drumheller-Brooks area.
We're pleased to have two great teams of artists selected for these tours. Please check out our Wordpower page to see the lists of participating artists!
