To celebrate the grand finale of the 2023 CK Reads program, Chatham-Kent Public Library (CKPL) will be hosting author, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, for a virtual author talk on Thursday, May 4 at 2:00 pm via Zoom. CKPL would like to extend a special thank-you to the Rotary Club of Chatham for sponsoring Silvia’s visit.
CK Reads started in 2016 and has grown steadily each year thanks to the support from the community. Through discussions and programs, CK Reads hopes to bring the community closer together through a shared love of reading. The 2023 CK Reads selected title “The Daughter of Doctor Moreau” is available at all 11 CKPL branches and online in both ebook and audiobook format.
