These readings must be open to the public, well publicized and free of charge. The host should ensure that the size of the audience justifies the visit. The host pays all other costs.
Some provincial governments fund school readings by authors and illustrators.
The province provides funding for the author or illustrator's reading fee. The host schools are responsible for paying all or part of the author or illustrator's expenses. Priority is given to members of the Canadian Children's Book Centre when applying for an author or illustrator visit for Canadian Children's Book Week.
