Delta libraries were hopping Sept. 28 for the kickoff a month full of programs, contests and activities to mark anniversaries at all three branches.
Delta Reads!, a Deltawide project, began that day with a giveaway of three titles: The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe for adults, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green for teens and Fraser Bear: a Cub's Life by Maggie de Vries for kids.
During October, Delta residents are invited to take part in events that will explore these wonderful books..
Vancouver author de Vries will read from Fraser Bear; a Cub's Life at the Ladner Pioneer Library on Wednesday, Oct. 9 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. and at the Tsawwassen Library on Saturday, Oct. 19 from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. The sessions are for kids ages six and up.
Teens are invited to create a video trailer for The Fault in Your Stars. They could win one of three prizes. Pick up a copy of the rules and regulations from any Delta Library. Contest closes at 11 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 22.
At the end of October, library staff will lead The Last Page, which offers all ages the opportunity to discuss the Delta Reads! books. Sessions are set for Tuesday, Oct. 22 at the Tsawwassen Library and Wednesday, Oct. 23 at the Ladner Pioneer Library. Both run from 7 to 8 p.m.
