Canada Reads @ The Library

St. Albert loves Canada Reads!  Every year, people come to listen to what our local celebrity experts have to say in defence of their books, and add their own voices to the debate.

This year's theme is " One Book to Connect Us", and our panellists are:

• Julian Di Castri, defending  What Strange Paradise by Omar El Akkad
• Natalie Joly, defending Scarborough by Catherine Hernandez
• Brett Lamoureux, defending Life in the City of Dirty Water by Clayton Thomas-Muller
• Kelsey Robbins, defending Five Little Indians by Michelle Good
• Ray Watkins, defending Washington Black by Esi Edugyan

Be part of a fun, stimulating evening, and help us decide what Canada’s Next Great Read will be.

CBC Canada Reads is an annual "battle of the books" competition, with celebrities championing books. Each day, panellists vote to eliminate one book, until a single title is chosen as the title the whole country should read this year. 

This program will take place through Zoom. Here is a test meeting: https://zoom.us/test which will allow you to see what Zoom looks like and to install the software needed prior to the program.
