We are VERY excited to invite you to participate in a Marathon Reading Event!
A what?
The Marathon Reading Event, a joint effort of ALA@UBC, the SLAIS community, and Creative Writing students at UBC, is an opportunity to come together in celebration of our professions, our community, and our love for books. During the event, participants will take turns reading aloud from their favorite works. Everyone is invited to stop by to listen, enjoy treats, and contribute a loonie or two to our by-donation fundraiser. All proceeds will go to program development at the Carnegie Branch of the VPL in the Carnegie Centre.
Awesome! So when and where is this happening?
Wednesday, March 7 from 8 am to 8 pm in the Lillooet Room of IKBLC
Friday, March 9 from 1 pm to 3 pm in the auditorium at the Carnegie Centre
How can I participate?
There are many ways!

We’re pumped about this, and hope you are too. Please feel free to share this with friends, everyone is invited!
Any questions, just send them over!
