Presentation:
Libraries and Books and Words…Oh My!
In this engaging presentation and with audience interaction, Carey presents her story in a Power Point slide-show. She will demonstrate that the library is a challenge for the mother in this story; however, the love for her children is what compels her to overcome her fear. Through courage and sheer determination, everything she learns along her journey helps her to discover her own personal power, fostering a lifelong love of learning within her. There is no bigger strength than facing your fears, no matter what they are, as Carey will communicate to the children in attendance. Beyond her inspiring and motivating message, Carey will also demonstrate some of her self-taught techniques in writing, and illustrating to show how she brings her book to life.

Message from Carey:
The new Saskatchewan budget brought many cuts to many valuable programs in this amazing province we call home, and I was devastated to learn that the Saskatoon and Regina public libraries have had 100% of their funding eliminated, while the seven regional library systems will be forced to operate with 60% less funding than previously (see story here <http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/province-cuts-money-for-libraries-1.4035529> ).
I know first-hand how important the public libraries are to Saskatchewan families and the contributions libraries make toward literacy. To try and save our libraries, I have signed a petition. It is my sincerest hope that my fellow Literacy Warriors, their friends and families take a moment and click on this link <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0ecVBG4dPNfeDQ5U3NDZ3lsSzZfaHJUdEZzTF9la0NqVWVv/view> to do the same.
