AGM 2022

The Canadian Children’s Book Centre’s Annual General Meeting will take place on Tuesday, June 7, 2022 at 6:00 pm (EDT). Members* in good standing and public welcome to attend.

This year’s AGM will feature a talk and Q&A with inclusive publishing expert Laura Brady. Accessibility is the buzzword du jour in publishing circles these days but what does it really mean in a tangible way for writers, publishers, and readers? Some markets are about to close to content that doesn’t meet accessibility standards, so this is a more urgent topic than ever. Laura will talk about print-disabled readers, the marketplace, and the publishing work necessary to meet those needs.

WHEN: Tuesday, June 7, 2022 at 6:00 pm (EDT)
WHERE: ZOOM Video Conference (link available day of)
RSVP by May 31
