January: Pub Night
Monday, January 16. 7:00 pm.
Smith’s Pub, 777 Courtney Street
(please note the location change)
No drop-in fee.
Everyone is welcome to bring a few children’s or
teens’ books they are excited about and want to talk about, but this is
totally optional. Feel free to just come and listen! People can order
off the menu (snacks, dinner, drinks, whatever
suits your fancy). It’s a casual way to meet up with other people who
are interested in all aspects of literature for young people.

Volunteers Wanted
The VCLR Steering Committee is always looking for
helpers to run this show! In June, I will have completed three years as
the committee chair. I will be moving on to other volunteer work in the
community, and I know that this committee
will keep VCLR running strong.
Please contact us if you are interested in getting
more involved with the promotion of children’s literature and local
writers through the Victoria Children’s Literature Roundtable.
2017 Events
VCLR events are planned on the third Monday
of each month through until June. However, the May event may be tied
to Canadian Children’s Book Week, which is a little earlier in the
month. Mark your calendars and watch for details!
