Accessible notebooks

Libraries will receive large print notebooks and a promotional item to display to let families know that libraries offer accessible materials. Libraries should receive these in May. 

Please see the Plan for Accessibility page for more information about accessible notebooks in a variety of formats (audio, large print, braille and open dyslexic font) and for practical tips to ensure your Club is accessible and inclusive for everyone.

Web access sticker

The web access code is printed on a sticker that children can stick onto the inside cover of their notebook. Children enter their web access code on the TD Summer Reading Club website (live as of mid-June 2021). Each sticker contains a unique code that enables kids and families to create an online notebook, read ebooks and track their reading and other website submissions.

Please note that kids can also generate a web access code directly on our website.

This item is bilingual.

Stickers

There are 12 stickers on a perforated sheet, including two stickers with the TD Summer Reading Club logos and website URL—one English and one French. Stickers can be used as reading incentives by library staff or by parents and caregivers.
