Family Literacy Day is recognized nationally each year on January 27 to raise awareness about the importance of reading and family literacy.

Each year, the Saskatchewan Library Association offers grants to libraries to put on Family Literacy Day programs. These $200 grants are available to SLA’s individual or institutional members to support them as they celebrate and promote Family Literacy Day. The 2025 theme for Family Literacy Day is “Learn to be Green, Together.”

Congratulations to the 2025 Family Literacy Day Grant Recipients in Rivers West District.

These Saskatchewan libraries will be putting on diverse programming from family game nights to community skating event, from sharing resources on environmental friendliness to teaching upcycle crafts, and from teaching winter safety to humans and animals to celebrating and caring for native birds.
