Read Aloud Canadian Books Program

The Read Aloud Canadian Books Program allows educators or librarians at digitally licensed K-12 independent schools, licensed public libraries or EarlyON Child and Family Centres that have signed the Read Aloud add-on to read all or part of select books from participating publishers and authors, and to post the video recording online or livestream the reading for non-commercial purposes.

To learn more, including how your school, library or EarlyON Child and Family Centre can sign up for the Read Aloud add-on, please contact us at info@accesscopyright.ca.

Does my school, library or EarlyON Child and Family Centre have an Access Copyright licence?
