For dads who enjoy the sound of someone tickling the ivory, there's a show here in town on Fathers' Day.

The Burnaby Clef Society is hosting a piano recital with performances by honours students, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts on Sunday, June 16.

Students will perform for guests who will also be able to enjoy a strawberry cake and tea during intermission. Admission is free, and cost of tickets for the strawberry tea is yet to be determined.

The Shadbolt is located at 6450 Deer Lake Ave.

Library reading

Also on Father's Day, local librarians will be readings selections from Stephen Leecock's 1912 classic, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town.

This event, a benefit for the Burnaby Community Camping Bureau, will run from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Burnaby Village Museum.

"The 'grandfather' of Canadian humourists, Leacock affectionately portrayed the eccentric characters of a small 19th-century town with his masterful dry wit," said Burnaby librarian Lise Kreps, in a press release.

The reading is recommended for ages 11 to adult. Tickets are available in the museum at the church door by donation (suggested $10).

The Museum is located at 6501 Deer Lake Ave.
