Burnaby North Library

Katsa was born with superhuman strength and wishes she wasn’t. Her mismatched eye colour reveals her special powers  to everyone around her which make her feared throughout all the kingdom – a fear her uncle, the King, exploits. Soon Katsa is sent on a mission to a rival kingdom. Will she finally come to terms and accept her Grace or will it be her downfall?

What is it?
Like a book club, interested staff and students meet in the library’s magazine area to discuss the selected title. Since these meetings are always held at lunch, bring your lunch!

When do they take place?
Check out the list of meeting dates here.

Where?
The library’s magazine section and the surrounding area. Don’t worry if things look tight. We’re a friendly group and always make room for everyone.

Who can come?
Anyone and everyone! It’s generally a mix of staff and students who have read or are interested in reading the book. Some of our students are regulars.

Why?
To discuss the books of course! It’s just as much fun to discuss them as it is reading.

The first book we will be discussing is Amy Chua’s Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother – one of our most popular titles! Hope to see you all there!
