The Langley Centennial Museum has teamed up with notable authors and literary professionals to deliver the first ever Art of the Book Lecture Series.

Designed to encourage and enlighten budding writers and anyone interested in literature, each week a different speaker will discuss their passion and pass on valuable information.

Topics include The Importance of Books Beyond the Text, Book Design, Creating Memoirs, Celebrating & Supporting Childhood Literacy, Books for Kids, Old Press, Understanding Publishing Options, and Editors and Partners, Not Enemies.

Art of the Book will be held at Centennial Museum, at 9135 King Street in Fort Langley, every Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m., starting April 9 and running to May 28. The cost is $12 per person per lecture, or $80 for the whole series.

“This Art of the Book series will engage and inspire participants to become authors and literary aficionados,” said Township of Langley arts and culture programmer Maggie Lukban. “The speakers are talented professionals in the field who are eager to share their experiences.”
