Ladner author and illustrator Ashley Spires’ character Binky the Space Cat adorns this lamppost in Library Square in Downtown Vancouver. The plaque is one of 20 installed as of last month as part of the Reading Lights collaboration between the Vancouver Public Library and the Children’s Writers and Illustrators of B.C. Society. The project, which features excerpts from books and illustrations on lampposts across the city, celebrates B.C. children’s book authors and illustrators and brings the joy of reading to children and their parents around the city.
