Welcome to My Project

For a hundred years Shellbrook has invested in teaching children to read and for over fifty it has invested in its Library. That is why I love living here. In the next few months, I’m going to need help walking around the world at Shellbrook’s latitude of 53°. This is my way of celebrating Shellbrook’s 100th Anniversary.

For every page you read I walk a kilometer. For example, to get me to Prince Albert, Shellbrook readers must read 45 pages. The Librarian at Shellbrook is my helper and most willing to hand out Reading Logs. Just write down the title of what you read (book, magazine, manga, etc.) and the number of pages you read. Hand in your Log every Friday. Every page counts and every Reading Log enters your name in a draw.

The exciting prizes are Shellbrook related. Monthly draws are gift certificates for a variety of businesses in Shellbrook. The final Friday of my walk is November 13, 2009. This will give me time to soak my feet and rest up for the big draw for a McNally Robinson Booksellers gift certificate and Shellbrook Centennial Coin Set on Wednesday November 18, 2009.
