IDW Book Lists and Reading Challenge
Our book lists are in celebration of Canada’s International Development Week (IDW). We mark IDW with events, hearing from our members across the world and with our book lists!
Throughout February there were great (and tasty!) prizes! Participants entered our book display contests and/or our student reading challenge to compete. Find the contest winner details below.
