All events for STEP INTO STORIES: Ottawa's Festival for Young Readers are free admission. We bring the best storytellers and illustrators from around the world to public libraries, schools and bookstores to read for kids throughout the region. This spring seven authors and illustrators will give 12 readings around the city in the course of five days, to an estimated audience of more than 2000 kids. For more information on our literacy and social development programs, see the About Us page.

Donations to STEP INTO STORIES are always welcome. Every $4 donated helps us bring the best in Canadian children's authors to one child in local schools. We reach thousands of children each year, many in Ottawa's challenged 'Beacon Schools,' but we can't do it alone. To find out more about how you can help support STEP INTO STORIES, or for information on programming and how your school can take part in an author visit, please contact Kathryn Hunt, Community Liaison.

STEP INTO STORIES is presented with the assistance of Raise a Reader, and gratefully acknowledges the support of the Ottawa Public Library and Kiwanis Read-A-Thon.
