Our 2011 Keep Toronto Reading campaign came to a close on Saturday, marking the end of 35 days straight of video recos. This year we rounded up 44 different contributors, almost double last year’s number. We had authors, publishers, booksellers, bloggers from all over Canada and the U.S. handsell a book of their choice and share their own stories of transformation.
My sincere thanks to all the contributors, especially those first timers who had to get up the nerve to record and release a video of themselves. And the biggest thanks of all to the Toronto Public Library (and their fantastic ambassador Ab Velasco) for promoting and featuring the videos, and for adding reco’d books they didn’t have to the collection!
Are you reading any books based on a KIRBC KTR video? Leave a comment and let us know, and maybe we can keep the discussion going until next April.
