“Leading up to the March event, cultural activities will take place throughout the county,” Program Coordinator Carina Love said in a release. “The events will touch on the book’s themes of family, biculturalism, bisexualism, careers in writing, and social injustice.”
Details on these events will be announced in the coming months, Love added. Δ
