Library News
In-person programming is back at the Radium Library! We would like to thank everyone who came out to our Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt on Easter weekend – it was a record turn out! We are very grateful to our volunteers (including the Easter Bunny) and our staff for volunteering their time and efforts to create such a memorable event. All funds raised will go directly back into future community programming!
We will be hosting a free Author Talk and Book Signing with Nelson author Elizabeth Cunningham, on Saturday April 30 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Elizabeth Cunningham, award-winning poet, will read from her two poetry collections published by Ekstasis Editions, Victoria.
The talk will also include a reading from her creative non-fiction manuscript, Marty’s Place; a memoir about being involved with the emerging Canadian Literature scene of the late 1960s when young writers such as Margaret Atwood and Michael Ondaatje were just beginning their careers
