Burnaby North Library

Join us in the library at lunch on Wednesday, February 17th to discuss Prudence Shen and Faith Erin Hicks’ graphic novel Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong. It’s the school robotics club vs. the cheerleaders in an all-out election battle where club funding is at stake. Who deserves funding: robotics club for a national competition trip, or the cheerleaders for new uniforms? Throw a chainsaw-wielding robot into the mix? Sure! Because nothing can possibly go wrong, right?

On Wednesday, February 3rd, join us in the library at lunch for a book talk about Shane Koyczan’s novel/poem/autobiographical story Stickboy: a Novel in Verse. We’ll talk about the book, and also about the Vancouver Opera in Schools performance of the Stickboy opera, which many of you will be seeing on February 28th.
