The Creston Valley Public Library is presenting Kootenay Lake author Luanne Armstrong as you’ve never seen her — telling the stories you’ve never heard!
Armstrong is a local novelist, freelance writer and editor. She has published over 50 stories and essays in magazines and journals, and is the author of 14 books, including poetry, novels and children’s works — her most recent including The LIght through the Trees, Morven and the Horse Clan and I'll Be Home Soon. And she has more stories to tell, ones you’ve never heard before. Visit the library for an afternoon of Armstrong up close and personal as she weaves the magical tales she’s always wanted to tell.
The Creston Valley Public Library’s Living Books speaker series is a way for community members to learn from each other. Living “books” are real people, your friends and neighbours, volunteering to share aspects of their own “story”. Through living books, the library seeks to encourage the sharing of knowledge and passion between people. Each month the library hosts a get-together where a member of your community shares their personal experiences. Topics are varied, from art to travel to local history to coping with loss, and everything in between. Attendees of the speaker series learn more about the people in their community and their diverse backgrounds and expertise.
Armstrong presents her own story time at 1:30 p.m. Feb. at the Creston Valley Public Library. For more information, call the library at 250-428-4141.
