Reading Link Challenge

Reading Link Challenge (RLC) is an in-school reading program for grades 4–6, run in partnership with local elementary schools and the Fraser Valley Regional Library.

How it works:


Librarians from Fraser Valley Regional Library select six books for students to read throughout the year. After reading the books during the year, teams then compete in a live book trivia event in the spring.

The books are available at participating schools and at the library.

Reading Link Challenge takes place in Squamish elementary schools—ask your school librarian to join!

This challenge in Squamish is generously supported by Dana Fleming and Nancy Fearon at The Vision Wealth Management Company.
