Reading Series

Fraser Riverkeeper is implementing an exciting new book club that will connect environmental authors with friends and members of our organization. We plan to host several reading events this year, and would like to invite you to be a guest speaker at one of our meetings. If you are interested in donating a couple hours to a book club event, please contact Mary.

Authors may bring copies of their books to sign and sell. The venue will be casual and educational for the audience, and will be promoted among our members and contacts. Our venue will include the following:

1. A coffeehouse, pub, or other location decided upon by Fraser Riverkeeper and the author.

2. A guest author giving a brief presentation of his or her book, and being open to a question-and-answer period.

3. A speaker from Fraser Riverkeeper introducing the author and tying up the event.

4. A place at the venue for the author to sell and sign books.

5. A growing network of author and reader relationships, which will enhance Fraser Riverkeeper’s community-based educational and advocacy programs.
