Dear School Teachers and Curriculum Leaders,

This year, the McGuinty Government actively recognized the importance of the Arts in Ontario schools by boosting funding for resources necessary for media arts, visual arts, drama, music & dance programs.  

BookSwap also realizes how the Arts help students to develop their imagination, creative abilities, cognitive skills, uniqueness,  knowledge for problem solving, and much more.   Therefore, we  have hand picked a number of books specially discounted up to 30% which support Arts education.  Great for classrooms all across Canada!
