The Vancouver Public Library and CBC Radio have just announced some 
joint events for One Book One Vancouver.  All look very interesting.
Check them out!

Joy Kogawa will be Mark Forsythe's guest on CBC Almanac's Open Line 
(690 AM) from 1 p.m. to 2 pm, this Friday, July 15.  A few copies of Obasan 
will be given away to lucky listeners!

Joy Kogawa will be visiting library branches to read from Naomi's Road and 
more at Renfrew (July 20, 10:30 am), Hastings (July 21, 10:30 am), 
Fraserview (July 27 at 2 pm) and Oakridge (10:30 am).

Join Joy Kogawa at the Central Library on August 5 for the launch of
Emily Kato, which follows up on the life of Naomi's Aunt Emily from Obasan,
at 7:30 pm in the Alice MacKay Room.

The following day, August 6, Joy will be back at Central for a Japanese
Canadian Cultural fair featuring a recorded broadcast with Sheryl MacKay
and CBC's North by Northwest in the Promenade - we'll also be announcing
the winner of the Haiku Contest at this event. Check the OBOV page on our
website more more details as they become available.
