Four book clubs. Four languages.
The UBC Asian Library in partnership with the Faculty of Arts will be offering four Asian-language book clubs in early 2018. Each language book club has two sessions: (1) Meet & Greet and (2) Book Discussion. Registrants are required to attend both sessions. All book club events will be held at the Asian Centre, 1871 West Mall.
Registration
The registration fee is $10, which includes a copy of the book and light refreshments at both sessions. Spots are limited. Please register by clicking the link below and pay your registration fee in person at the first session. We accept cash or cheque (payable to “University of British Columbia”).
