VIRL is celebrating Family Literacy Week Jan 20-27 with a month long contest in January - it's the Terrible Poetry Contest! Submissions may be left at the Tahsis Branch or submitted by email.
Tahsis is a remote village on the west coast of Vancouver Island. With only 400 residents, we don't have many of the conveniences of larger towns but we do have community spirit and lots to do in our spectacularly wild and beautiful environment.
