New Surrey Library Opens in Surrey Centre

The beautiful new library in Surrey opened with a splash on Saturday, September 24th. There was a tremendous crowd on hand to hear speeches from politicians, watch lion dancers, hear a native song, and take part in many other community-related presentations.
The attentive and friendly staff had organized a great day for the public, and a special one for local writers. We were invited to attend, with copies of our most recent books. A table to display and sell the books had been set up on the second floor. Special thanks to Jamie Brown of the Cloverdale branch of the Surrey Public Library for her attention to the authors and the public.
In the photo are three of the authors who took part--Darlene Foster, Duane Duff on the right, and myself. Darlene is a YA writer with a website and blog; she can be found at www.darlenefoster.ca. Duane has recently published a book of personal stories by veterans, The Forces and the Faces; he has a website at www.duffpublishing.ca.
