SAVE THE DATE: Feb. 14
Literary Speed Chatting
WHAT’S UP?
The Burnaby Public Library is hosting a new event for Valentine’s Day: Literary Friends Speed Chatting.
WHEN AND WHERE?
Wednesday, Feb. 14, 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Cameron Recreation Centre, 9523 Cameron St., in the Juniper Room (across the hall from the Cameron library branch)
WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
It’s like speed dating – but with books, and without the dating.
It’s open to everyone aged 17 and up. Bring two of your favourite books, or movies based on books, and be prepared to talk about them with a new friend. You’ll have five minutes to chat with each person in the room about your favourites and theirs; everyone will have a turn to chat with every other person.
A librarian will host the event and be on hand to help place holds on any of the recommended reads.
Light refreshments will be served.
HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?
It’s free. But you do have to sign up ahead, because space is limited to 12 participants. Register at www.bpl.bc.ca/events, call 604-421-5454 or drop in to the Cameron library branch to sign up.
