Nova Scotia Provincial Library

The Hackmatack Children’s Choice Book Award is a literary program especially designed for young readers and is back for its 17th year. This exciting reading program for children in Grades 4, 5 and 6 introduces thousands of young readers from all over Atlantic Canada to great Canadian books and authors.

With the summer winding down, students, children and parents across Nova Scotia are turning their attention to getting ready for the new school year.
