About Media Literacy Week
Media Literacy Week (MLW) is an annual event promoting digital and media literacy across Canada. Schools, libraries, museums and community groups organize events and activities throughout the week.
In 2021, we’re celebrating each of the first five days of MLW by highlighting one of five media literacy themes - use, understand, engage, access and verify.
During Library Partners this week, classes looked at:
