Jenny Desmond-Walters, Regional Advisor for SCBWI -Korea, just emailed me this to share with our readers:
Hi Corinne,
I don’t know much about this event, but as I drove past the new National Digital Library in Seoul today, I noticed a sign for a grand opening festival to be held on May 25th and 26th. All I could find online was this blurb on the Canadian Embassy site. However, the library looks amazing and I’ve been planning to check it out so I figure these days might offer some interesting activities and exhibits.May 25-26
A Library Cultural Festival to be held at the Opening of the National Digital Library
Location: National LibraryOn the occasion of the grand opening of the National Digital Library in Seoul, the international conference and library cultural festival will be held for two days. The Embassy will display Canadian books and information on Canadian culture with a particular focus on the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Our thanks to Jenny for passing this info. along and for offering to share her experiences with us. I live 45 minutes away from Downtown Vancouver so the 2010 Olympics are a hot item here. It will definitely be interesting to hear more from Jenny about this event! Be sure to check back here next week.
If there is an event happening in your area that you would like to share with us, we would love to hear about it! Please email me at corinne(at)papertigers(dot)org
