TeenRC is coordinated by the Greater Victoria Public Library.
It was developed by library folks for teens interested in reading and connecting with other teen readers across the country and throughout the year. To keep the gears turning, we have a strong crew of volunteer library staff from across Canada who help moderate reviews, chats, and forums. It is thanks to their help that we are able to run the program with such success.
