It’s a Pride mashup! To celebrate Pride in Vancouver through the month of August, Plenitude Magazine is pairing with the Vancouver Public Library for a live literary reading and speed friending event!
On Tuesday, August 26 at 6:30pm, join us at the downtown branch to hear local Plenitude authors read poetry and prose. Readers include Cayenne Bradley, Alex Leslie, David Ly, Mezi, Harry McKeown, Devon Rae, and Jane Shi. This event will be hosted by Vancouver’s best queer bookstore, Cross & Crows Books.
At 5:30pm prior to the reading, take part in Speed Friending! Are you looking to expand your circle of queer friends? Celebrate Pride all year round by bringing your favourite book, graphic novel, DVD, podcast, blog or zine to discuss at this fun, casual, in-person event. Lightning rounds of 6 minutes each will allow you to meet potential new friends and have interesting conversations.
Author books will be for sale at the event, courtesy of Cross & Crows Books.
The event is FREE but registration is required: https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/events/68841168faa427ea055db94d
This is an anti-oppressive, queer positive, scent-reduced and accessible safer space. Attendance will be capped at 50 people, so sign up early!
This event takes place at the Vancouver Public Library (central branch), 350 West Georgia Street, in the Montalbano Family Theatre, Level 8. Elevator access is available with the main elevators on level 2. The theatre has three wheelchair accessible spaces in the front row on the right hand side.
