Our History
Le goût de lire communautaire/community born to read came into existence through the efforts of retired educator, Georgie Crawford. The aim was to promote family literacy by encouraging parents to read to their children and by distributing book bags to families of newborns. With the support of the Montreal Council of Women, Ms. Crawford began recruiting interested volunteers to serve on a steering committee. The first meeting took place in March 2001, The target area for book distribution was deemed to be families in communities served by the Pierrefonds CLSC which has the highest birthrate in the Province of Quebec.
