Okanagan Reads book club | White Space
October 21 at 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
free
Join the first Okanagan Reads book club on October 21 at 6 pm. Attendees can join in-person at the Okanagan Regional Library (downtown location) or online via Zoom.
The first book that will be discussed is White Space: Race, Privilege, and Cultural Economies of the Okanagan Valley edited by UBC Okanagan Professors Dr. Daniel J. Keyes and Dr. Luis L.M. Aguiar.
This is a collaborative project between UBC Okanagan Library and Okanagan Regional Library, which has been spearheaded by UBCO Masters student Sarah Craven and made possible through the Sharron Simpson Family Community Engagement Endowment Fund. Sarah will be facilitating the book club meetings through Kelowna Inclusive’s Perspectives Book Club.
Need a copy of the book? You can borrow a copy from UBC Okanagan Library or access copies of this book from the Okanagan Reads Book Club kit. If you would like to borrow a copy of White Space from the book club kit, visit the Library Service Desk at UBC Okanagan and let them know that you’re looking to borrow a book from the White Space book club kit. Please note that copies are limited.
Author Talk: November 15
Another exciting part of the Okanagan Reads program will be author talks. Dr. Bill Cohen and Dr. Natalie A. Chambers, co-authors of the first chapter in this collection of essays, will offer a talk on November 15. Stay tuned for details!
