Bookfest May 2nd, Downtown Naniamo
Bookfest 2015 will be held Saturday May 2nd at the Diana Krall Plaza in downtown Nanaimo from 10 am – 3 pm. Nine Canadian authors and illustrators will be giving workshops, signing books and sharing stories of how they became professional authors. Presentations are for students in elementary school with authors specializing in different age ranges. E.g. Mike Deas for 8 year olds and older. Younger children can take part in preschool story time and a preschool puppet show. You can sit and enjoy your lunch at the plaza while being entertained by the Stratford Hall School Taiko Drummers from Vancouver. Check out more about Bookfest at http://www.bookfest.ca/
