If you don’t know about our French educational resource lending centre, make it a resolution to discover it this year!

Tire-Lire allows families and Francophone preschool centres across British Columbia to access a large collection of nearly 5,000 resources, including books, educational games, DVDs, and much more -- for children of all ages, and parents too!

Managed by the Fédération des parents francophones de Colombie-Britannique, Tire-Lire supports parents’ work with their children’s personal, cultural, and language development.

A Tire-Lire subscription costs only $20 per year, and allows you to borrow up to 10 resources at a time -- either online at www.tire-lire.ca, or in person, if you live near Port Coquitlam.
