Katherena Vermette will be in conversation with Shelagh Rogers, host of CBC’s The Next Chapter in English on April 20th at 7 pm EST in English, and with Mélissa Verreault who translated The Break to French will be discussing the book and the process with Marie-Louise Arsenault, host of Plus on est de fous, plus on lit! on Ici Radio-Canada Première on April 21st at 7 pm EST in French. These will be livestreamed through social media.
The Initiative
The Canadian Urban Libraries Council / Conseil des Bibliothèques Urbaines du Canada (CULC/CBUC) has created an opportunity for all public libraries to participate in a Canada-wide digital reading program. The initiative is similar to a “one book, one city” initiative, but on a national scale and in digital format.
