Author Reading with Monique Gray Smith

Thursday, September 21st, 2017

Multi-Purpose Room

7:00 pm

Free event, open to the community.

Monique is an inspiring international speaker, consultant and award winning author. Her books include the coming of age story Tilly and the charming celebratory tale of My Heart Fills with Happiness.

She uses stories for children and young adults to teach our youth the spirit of generosity and resilence.

Sponsored by Success By 6, the Province of British Columbia, Credit Unions of BC, and the United Way.

Sponsored by the Prince Rupert Public Library, Gwynne Dyer, international columnist, historial and author, did an author reading at the Lester Centre of the Arts.

7:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 24th, with admission by donation, this show was open to all ages, and was a rare opportunity to see an author of such calibre.

Prince Rupert Library presents the storyteller, Michael Kusugak. It wasn't until Michael Kusugak had his own children that there was hardly anything written for children about life in the Arctic, so he started telling them his grandmother's stories. Often teaming up with illustrator Vladyana Krykorka, his work has been awarded both the Vicky Metcalf Award for Children's Literature and the Ruth Schwartz Award for Children's Literature.
