Aperçu

Join us for an evening celebrating local authors, literacy, and the freedom to read at ALSO’s third annual banned book night, Off the Pages: A Celebration of Banned Books, on Friday, April 11.

Local authors will read from their favourite banned books. This year’s guest authors are Dr. Monia Mazigh, Suyi Davies Okungbowa, Kevin Hearne and Dancia Kendra Susilo.

Enjoy the live music, finger food and drinks. A fabulous silent auction will take place and the Ottawa Public Library will have a book booth. This event features ASL interpretation and is open to both the hearing and Deaf communities.

Funds raised from ticket sales and the silent auction will directly benefit ALSO and the adults and families we serve in the Ottawa community.

Détails

Doors open at Heartwood House at 6:00 p.m.

Volunteers will also welcome you in. Finger food and drinks will be offered, and the silent auction will open. (Catered by Chef Rics. Drink tickets will be available for purchase.)

The event will start at 6:30 P.M. You will be asked to find a seat. We will have the first two authors read from their favourite banned book before the intermission.

During the intermission, you can visit the silent auction table, mingle, and enjoy the food and drink offerings.

After the intermission, the last two authors will read from their favourite banned book. 

Before the evening ends, you will have an opportunity to meet the authors, mingle, and make one final visit to the silent auction table. 

We will announce the silent auction winners and wrap the evening up at 9:00 P.M.
