Booksmack! Monday, February 16

The librarians are back! Fast, furious and fun, Greater Victoria Public librarians return to the Belfry for Booksmack. They will let their hair down, take off their glasses and speed review their favourite books. Highbrow, lowbrow and everything in between, including some great titles inspired by our double-bill shows, The Best Brothers and How to Disappear Completely. This free event starts at 7:30 pm.

As part of our partnership with the GVPL they put together a list of books to help you see our shows in a new way. Here’s the book list for our double bill:
