The Canadian Children’s Book Centre is excited to announce some changes to the team. Our Program and Events Coordinator, Amanda Halfpenny’s last day with the CCBC was June 10, 2022. Amanda has done a wonderful job over the last two years coordinating all our events. We wish her the very best in her new leadership role in the public library!

We are thrilled to share that Carol-Ann Hoyte will be joining the Centre’s team as the new Program and Events Coordinator. Carol-Ann brings several years of experience as a school librarian, bookseller and board member of Geordie Theatre and Poetry in Voice. She holds a B.A. in Journalism from Concordia University and a Graduate Certificate in Book Publishing from the University of Denver.  She is also a graduate of John Abbott College’s Information and Library Technologies and is currently completing a Fundraising Management Certificate from Algonquin College. Carol-Ann’s experience also includes many years as the CCBC’s Book Week Coordinator for Quebec, a regular reviewer for Canadian Children’s Book News as well as a book award juror. Carol-Ann will begin with the CCBC on Monday, June 27, 2022. We are very pleased to have Carol-Ann join the team!
