Meredith Rounthwaite Teen Book Bank Fund

In 2024, The Teen Book Bank in Regent Park was renamed in honour of Meredith Rounthwaite (March 23, 1989 - December 2, 2023). Meredith overcame dyslexia to become an avid lover of reading, and the world of literature provided great solace during her illness.

Through grit and determination, she earned a degree in Early Childhood Education to help other young people fall in love with books. Meredith’s memory lives on in the Meredith Rounthwaite Teen Book Bank in Regent Park which provided 2,850 books this year.
