Vancouver Is Awesome, and we are dedicated to everything that makes it that way.

If you want to read ugly, bad news about this beautiful city of ours, you’re going to have to look to traditional media and other blogs; V.I.A. promotes everything that makes our city awesome, from old to new and everything inbetween. We’re like the human interest piece on the news… only different.

A Good Book Drive: Gloria Macarenko

A Good Book Drive is an annual book drive to bring stories to a new generation of readers, and support kids in need of new books. Running through the month of November, A Good Book Drive will be inspiring Vancouverites to purchase a new copy of their favorite kids’ book and deliver it to set locations throughout the city to be donated to this year’s book drive recipient, Vancouver literacy program The Writers Exchange.

A Good Book Drive has teamed up with a great group of independent Vancouver retailers that will each house a Good Book Box. Here you can drop off your favorite kids book and personalize your donation with a special bookplate, sharing the story of why that book is special to you.

Gloria Macarenko, CBC News, donated INKHEART – a tale about books, imagination, and life. As a child, Gloria got lost in this engrossing fantasy and loves that the characters from this book escape the boundaries of fiction and literally leap off the pages.

Gloria tells us how the words of this sinister tale evoke a wonderfully clear pictures in any reader’s mind…

Learn more about the project and where to donate by visiting agoodbookdrive.com and follow on Twitter and Facebook.
