Library celebrates bibliophiles

EVERY MONTH is book month
at North Vancouver District
libraries, but this year February is
dedicated to aspects of book-lore
other than reading: the creative
process, book collecting, book
binding and book censorship.

On Thursday, Feb. 9 at 7:30
p.m., award-winning novelist 1.R.
Wright will be at the Capilano
Library, 3045 Highland Blvd., to
talk about her work.

Wright writes in two genres:
mainstream novels of modern rela-
tionships, and mysteries. Her first
murder story, The Suspect, which
was set on the Sechelt Peninsula,
won the Edgar Award of the
Mystery Writers of America. In
her latest novel, Love in a
Temperate Zone, Wright explores
the effects of changing cir-
cumstances on interpersonal rela-
tionships.

Lynn Valley Library’s guest in
February will be Guy Robertson, a
library systems analyst who is also
an expert in the art of book collec-
ting.

Robertson’s lecture, which is
scheduled for 7 p.m. on Tuesday,
Feb. 21, will discuss the history of
book production including some
examples of once-censored titles,

and the development of a book
collection both as a personal inter-
est and as an investment. There
will be time for questions. The talk
is free, but bibliophiles are asked
to come in good time as seating is
limited.

Exhibits at Lynn Valley during
February will include a small
display of books that have at some
time been either banned or
challenged in Canadian libraries.
The list includes acclaimed authors
such as Margaret Atwood, Morley
Callaghan, Hugh Garner, Mark
Twain and William Shakespeare.

Another display will feature yet
another aspect of book-lore: the
art of book-binding. Still widely
practised in Europe, it is almost a
Jost art here.

West Vancouver’s Tanya Bolenz
studied the craft for three years in
West Germany, where appren-
ticeship is still possible. Her skills
include sewing the pages, tooling
the spines and making the covers,
which may be of leather, linen or
parchment. She has also created
some of her own endpapers in
one-of-a-kind designs.

Her work will be on display at
Lynn Valley from Feb. 21 to
March 14.

Until Feb. 18, the display case
will feature artwork, carvings and
fabrics from Africa to celebrate
Black History Month in Canada.
The exhibit is coordinated by the
Vancouver chapter of the Congress
of Black Women in Canada, who
are making a major effort this year
to raise awareness of black history
on the West Coast of Canada.
