Registration is now open for this year's Oxford Reads Gala. The free virtual event is happening on October 16th and author Emma Donoghue is this year's Oxford Reads pick.
OXFORD COUNTY - The 2021 Oxford Reads Gala is right around the corner.
The free event is going to be happening on Saturday October 16th at 7:00 p.m.
Sarah McDonald with the Oxford County Library says it's going to be a virtual event once again, but you have to register online here in advance.
"So last year we streamed our virtual gala online through social media on our Facebook page, so anybody could watch at home, this year we are going to move it to zoom, so our participants can all be in one room with the host and the author."
McDonalds says author Emma Donoghue is this year's Oxford Reads pick.
"She is the author of this years novel called The Pull of the Stars. It is a historical novel, set against the backdrop of the Spanish Flu and the first world war, so it is quite timely as we read about a pandemic, one that happened over 100 years ago."
The gala will once again be hosted by the CBC's Chris Dela Torre.
Oxford Reads is a partnership between the Oxford County Library and the Woodstock Public Library. The goal is to get the community talking, by reading the same novel.
