Our next BC BookBlast! will be Wednesday, May 15th at 3pm on Zoom. Titles will include fiction and non-fiction on the theme of “Community: Building, Living and Connecting in BC.” These newly released BC books may address homelessness and housing, respond to climate change, such as forest fires and emergency situations, and more celebratory topics like cultivating gardens and connecting with newcomers to literally grow community. The focus will be adult readers, as we will have a special event on June 19th at 3pm, catering to youth in anticipation of Summer Reading Club.
If you have any accessibility needs to attend these events, please contact Natalie Porter, BCLA Professional Development Coordinator in advance and BCLA will do our best to support you.
The intended audience is anyone who provides readers’ advisory, library programming, book selection, marketing, or just simply loves hearing about new books. And thanks to a partnership with the Association of Book Publishers of BC (Books BC), these events are offered free of charge. BC Book Blast! is a collaborative series between BCLA and Read Local BC featuring the very best of BC published books.
Recordings of past BCLA professional development offerings are available on the Continuing Education Resources page.
