From the Cariboo Regional District:
The Cariboo Regional District’s Williams Lake Area Branch Library announced that Prince George author Vivien Lougheed will be on hand to present and answer questions from her latest work, Sidetracked: the struggle for BC’s fossils on Thursday October 27, 2011 at 7 pm in the CRD WL Library Program Room
What began as a hunting trip to British Columbia’s Northern Rockies in 2000 turns into one of the province’s most important fossil finds – the Monroe Dinosaur Trackway in Kakwa Provincial Park. In Sidetracked: The Struggle for BC’s Fossils, Lougheed tells the fascinating tale of the trackway’s discovery and, in the telling, weaves in stories of other major fossil finds in British Columbia and across North America, many of which demonstrate how egos, turf wars and a lack of resources diminish the science of paleontology.
The free event will include a visual presentation, as well as conversation, and book signing.
The Cariboo Regional District’s Williams Lake Area Branch Library announced that author Frances Greenslade will be at the library to discuss her latest novel set in the Cariboo, Shelter, on Tuesday November 1, 2011 at 7pm in the CRD WL Library Program Room
Set in Williams Lake, Greenslade’s new novel Shelter is already generating a lot of buzz in the Lakeside community. It is the story of two sisters, Maggie and Jenny, and their quest to find out what happened to their mother who left them to billet in Williams Lake, and never came back. Set in the 1960s and 70s in the wilds of the Chilcotin, where it's still possible to lose yourself, the novel explores the attachment we have to our mothers, and the expectation we hold that they will always be our mothers, and nothing more.
The evening will include conversation, and book signing. Donations and book sale proceeds will be given to the Potato House Sustainable Community Society.
