Cultural Literacy Kits
Cultural Literacy Kits focus on specific cultures, including Coast Salish, Métis, Korean and many more. Each kit comes in a backpack and contains books (primarily in the native language of the culture) and a combination of activities, CDs, DVDs and toys. The kits can be borrowed for three weeks.

Cultural Literacy Kits are designed to help parents, caregivers and educators engage with their children through books, songs and games – all in their own language and about their own culture! Vancouver Island Regional Library developed the kits in partnership with organizations such as the Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society.
