Book festival event in N. Van

APRIL 23-30 is National
Book Festival week in
Canada and_ bookstores,
liberies and schools across
the province will be
celebrating with special
events designed to bring
people and books closer
together. North Vancouver
District Library has been
lucky enough to obtain the
new and very well-received
NFB film “Jack Hodgin’s
Island” to show at two bran-
ches during the week.

Jack Hodgins is probably
B.C.’s best known and most
popular fiction writer. He

was bor on Vancouver -

Island, where he still lives,
and the west coast setting
has always been a strong in-
fluence on his work. His
1979 novel
tion of Joseph Bourne” won
the Governor-General's
Award, and his more recent
“Split Delaney’s Island” and

“The Resurrec- °

“The Invention of the
World” have also won wide
acclaim.

His stories bring to life
“the unknown Island”, far
from the tourist routes, and
the unique and _ colorful
characters who inhabit it. In
the movie he discusses both
his craft and the source of
his inspiration. The film will
be shown at Seycove Library
on Monday, Arpil 25 at 7:45
p-m., and at Lynn Valley
branch on Tuesday, April 26
at 7:30 p.m.; admission is
free but seating limited,
please come in good time.
