Victoria Children’s Literature Roundtable Meeting

Monday, February 20, 2012, 7:30 pm

Nellie McClung Branch, Greater Victoria Public Library (Cedar Hill & McKenzie).

Doors open at 7:00 pm; come and browse the Tall Tales Books table.

Everyone welcome! Cost: $5.00 at the door, Students $4.00, $25.00/year.

David J. Smith, educator and author, has written the picture book If the World were a Village, which looks at the world population as if it were one village of 100 people. He makes observations such as: “In the world village, there are 38 school-aged villagers — but of the 38 only 31 of them attend school and only 24 of them have enough food to eat.”

Come and hear David tell us about the "Global Village"!

There will be no Roundtable Meeting in January 2012. Karen Rivers will be our guest speaker in April, date to be confirmed. We will have a meeting in June to make up for the missed meeting.

I hope to see you all Monday, February 20, at our next meeting. Stay tuned for details!
