The 21 Challenge

We were on CBC North today, speaking about the library project and hopefully we’ll soon have a donor to ship those books up from Yellowknife from Squatterz! Will keep this space updated.

Also, a story on the library recently ran in the Inuvik Drum which was then picked up by the territorial paper, News North. You can read the article here (press cancel if you don’t have a subscription). To clarify, the book drive and The 21 Challenge are separate efforts – don’t worry, it won’t take 21K to ship books from Squatterz in Yellowknife! We need the 21K to buy very specialized and educational materials to cover school curriculum, special needs/struggling readers, and aboriginal culture, language and social issues; not the type of thing you’ll usually find in a public bookstore!
