Have you met Libby, the ebook app for OverDrive?

Take Libby with you wherever you go and you’ll never be without free access to ebooks and audiobooks. With Libby, you can find, checkout, and download content from British Columbia’s Library2Go collection. Join us to learn how Libby differs from the previous OverDrive app. (Hint: It’s much easier to use!)

Bring your tablet or mobile device to follow along and get started. Note that this session is for ebooks on tablets and mobile devices only. There may be a separate session discussing ebooks for dedicated e-readers (i.e., Kobos).

Traditional Chinese Culture and Performing Arts

For many people, Chinese culture consists merely of kung fu, dragon dance, and Chinese food. However, the essence of China’s traditional culture – which goes back 5,000 years – is much more far-reaching and profound.

China was once known as the "Land of the Divine", and its people believed their culture was a gift from the heavens. Traditional Chinese culture is full of ethical values, virtues and spirituality. However, the Chinese Communist Party destroyed this glorious culture after it seized power in 1949.

The presentation covers:

• The essence of traditional Chinese culture and its values

• The near loss and/or destruction of that culture

• The exciting revival of the authentic culture through Shen Yun Performing Arts
