Saskatchewan Books In Schools Catalogue
April 16th, 2010The Saskatchewan Publishers Group is pleased to present Saskatchewan Books In Schools, a catalogue of Saskatchewan-published books geared for use by teachers, teacher-librarians, and librarians in Saskatchewan schools. This catalogue was developed in conjunction with Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Learning, and many of the titles featured have been reviewed by the Ministry of Learning for the Saskatchewan school curriculum. Saskatchewan Books In Schools will be mailed to every school in the province. You can request a copy from the SPG while supplies last, or you can download your own copy here.
**UPDATE** Since the time of publication, Gabriel Dumont Institute’s Dancing in My Bones by Wilfred Burton and Anne Patton (illustrated by Sherry Farrell Racette) has been recommended by the SK Ministry of Learning. Check back often for further updates!
New Website!
March 31st, 2010SPG’s website has a brand new (and much updated) look, as you’ve probably noticed by now. Our online bookstore is just to the right of the main screen, complete with online payment completion options, search functions, and lots and lots of books. The new website was designed by Ryan J. Thompson and was implemented by the kind and awesome folks at Digital Digs.
SPG would like to acknowledge the support of Saskatchewan Lotteries through SaskCulture for this project, as well as the support of the Canadian Book Fund from the Department of Canadian Heritage.
