|  Preparation
- Find a space
in your community to hold the event, such as the school, band office,
library, or community hall.
- Advertise your
special event at least one week prior to the event. Put posters up
around the community, advertise on the local radio station or green
screen, and hand out invitations at the school. Tell everyone about
it! Posters and invitations
are included in this package.
- Prepare
yourself by ordering the supplies you will need to make the different
books. Collect or make samples of homemade books for your participants
to see. Copy the instructions for making the different
books.
 You
can invite Elders to come to your book-making event and have them
tell stories that the children can make books about.
- Call the NWT
Literacy Council if you would like help with your event. The NWT Literacy
Council can provide free books for prizes, help with the organization
of the event and provide training for facilitators.
- Ask the local
paper to come to your event and do a story about Family Literacy.
