Nuits de la Lecture

Nine years ago, France launched a national festival called “Les Nuits de la Lecture”. The library is honored to be able to participate once again in this event which takes place in bookshops and libraries throughout France and runs over a couple of days to celebrate reading !

We have three unique literary events planned at the library to celebrate. All are free and open to the public.

Music and Readings with Nathanael de Vries

January 22, 18:30 – 19:30

Come and explore the transformative power of music through the lens of fiction.

Readings from the works of Richard Powers and Sherman Alexie will be accompanied by musical illustrations by our guest speaker, Nathanael de Vries.

No reservation necessary.

Pyjama Party! (Ages 4 – 8)

January 25, 15:30 – 16:15
