Read Aloud Canadian Books Program

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Read Aloud Canadian Books program.

We are pleased to have helped so many educators and librarians share recorded read-alouds of Canadian stories with their students and patrons.

The program was initially created to assist with online learning that was necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It then became a complimentary add-on to our digital licence for K-12 independent schools, public libraries and EarlyON Child and Family Centres.

With low demand for the Read Aloud licence add-on following the pandemic, we decided to end the Read Aloud Canadian Books program as of December 31, 2025. 

Starting January 1, 2026, please contact the copyright owner(s) of the work directly to seek permission for read-aloud uses.
