Douglas College Book Festival
April ll- April 29

Douglas College, in co- operation with the National Book Festival, will
be celebrating National Book Week from April 11 to April 29. During
this period we will be hosting lectures, workshops, films and displays
which we hope will have wide appeal for the entire college and the
surrounding communities.

 

Within the next few days posters and brochures detailing the many

activities will start to appear. We are hopeful that a great deal

of energy and interest in the Festival will have been generated in |
the College and the community at large by the time the major events

get underway April 22. Don't be surprised when you're offered a

poster for your door or handfuls of brochures for students and

friends.

Here are some of the highlights:
