Print and Non-print Resource Acquisition
In an attempt to increase emphasis on cultural content in the K-12 curriculum in Newfoundland and Labrador, this program identifies resources that complement curriculum outcomes, which address arts and cultural aspects of the province. The Print and Non-print Resource Acquisition program has enhanced students’ opportunities to increase their knowledge and appreciation for people, events, and places around Newfoundland and Labrador by placing local products such as books, theatre scripts, music CDs, and DVDs in school and public libraries throughout the province.
