Successful event at Smithers Pubic Library

By Patrick Witwicki

Yep, you

read that right : our first-ever
event, in partnership with the
Smithers Public Library, was
an amazing success. The cel-
ebration took place Saturday,
September 26, and more than
40 people (parents and chil-
dren) participated, and believe
me, there wasn’t a lot of space
open to watch the performance
of Anne Glover!

AFFNO set up outside the
library with a large selec-
tion of various books for our
members, refreshments, and
Francophone music.

But the highlight of the
event took place inside the li-
brary. First off, ] read a French
story (Huge the Pirate) to the
kids, translating in to English
as I went.

Then, Anne Glover per-
formed her show for approxi-

mately one hour.

Her presentations are in
two languages — French and
English.

It’s likely that at least half
of the kids who attended aren’t
in French Immersion; that
said, every single child had the
chance to enjoy the show.

Glover, as you are aware
(she hosted workshops and
other shows in both Haida
Gwaii and Prince Rupert back
in May) is a story-teller who
uses string to make various
shapes. Glover also hosted
various performances in Ter-
race during the first week of
October.

See ‘Smithers Library” on page 9.

Anne Glover raconte des
histoires, mais aussi, elle
crée des formes avec de

la ficelle!
