Come check out UBC Library at the 2009 Word on the Street festival, an annual event that celebrates books, writers and readers.
The Library’s booth will feature:
– sign-ups for its Community Card, which offers access to UBC Library collections for patrons outside the campus community;
– UBC Library Vault (www.ubcvault.ca), an initiative to promote Library collections online (and the 2008 winner of the Best Booth at Word on the Street);
– the UBC Robson Reading Series, which presents talks by contemporary Canadian authors;
– and UBC Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections, which will highlight the exceptional Chung Collection.
UBC Library will be selling cards featuring Vault images, and will also participate in the book bag treasure hunt – so come down, support the Library and have a fun (and literary) day!
Word on the Street takes place Sunday, September 27 at Library Square in downtown Vancouver. UBC Library’s booth will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
