For the 2020/2021 school year, Booktopia is going completely virtual with author/illustrator presentations streamed live via the Library YouTube channel for everyone to enjoy in December (2020), January and February (2021). Virtual creative writing and other literary programs for kids will also be offered in January and February.
Started in 2005, Booktopia is West Vancouver’s Literary Arts Festival for young people. Booktopia promotes literacy, celebrates language arts and cultivates creative thought amongst kids, teens and families in West Vancouver.
