Registration for OLA's Forest of Reading® will open on Oct. 1, 2013! Here's what you need to know: We are excited to offer the same registration fees as last year, along with an early bird discount and bulk registration rates for school boards to reduce the already low cost of $20 for OLA members. Price is per location, which means ANY number of readers can be in your program for this low price. The nominated lists for school-aged programs and Golden Oak will be announced on Oct. 15, 2013. Password sites will be opened on Dec. 1, 2013 and will be more accessible this coming year than in previous years. PLUS…Greater involvement from international schools and out of province schools adds a new dimension to the program and adds the possibility of a cross-regional correspondence with another school to share your Forest of Reading® experience.
