One Book One Niagara featuring Edward Y.C. Lee In-Person
Edward Y. C. Lee’s The Laundryman’s Boy is a moving coming-of-age story that bravely examines notions of race, duty and friendship in early Canada. One Book, One Niagara (OBON) is a collaborative literary experience that brings the Niagara community together in celebration of Canadian literature. We believe that a great book has the power to entertain and to generate meaningful conversation about important issues. Libraries within Niagara select a title each year for community members to read and discuss across a series of events, culminating in this author talk. Participating libraries include the public libraries of Fort Erie, Grimsby, Lincoln Pelham, Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Port Colborne, St. Catharines, Thorold, Wainfleet, Welland, and West Lincoln, and Brock University and Niagara College.
This event is free to attend. Visit the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre website for tickets.
