A Celebration of the Canadian Literary Scene
Virtual
Canada is brimming with talented novelists, playwrights, and short-story writers that most Americans have never heard of. We hope that this program will be the first step in addressing this issue. We are proud to partner with the Ottawa Public Library in Canada’s capital city to bring you this program. Chris Simmons, the Collections Manager at OPL, will serve as both our guest and guide for this program. Chris will introduce Philadelphians to the Canadian writers that they should be reading now. He will also discuss why it is so difficult for many Canadians to break into the American market. As Chris notes, while Americans and Canadians share a common language; they are products of cultures that are very different. Since Canada is also a bilingual nation, Chris Simmons will explain the services that his library provides to French-speaking Canadians.
While this program is free, advance registration is required. To register, please email Dick Levinson at: levinsonr@freelibrary.org
