With two weeks to go before author Edwidge Danticat's visit to Wilmette to discuss her novel, Claire of the Sea Light, One Book programming is heating up.
Next in line is Trees That Feed: Making a Difference in Haiti and Beyond on April 22 at 2 and 7 pm. For more information about that program, please see the previous blog post.
On April 27 at 2 pm, Crossing Borders Music Collective will present The Real Vodou: A Haitian Classical Music Concert, a string quartet concert of vodou ("voodoo") songs and vodou-inspired compositions. The concert will present folk songs and music by Haitian composers who were inspired by vodou rituals, ceremonies, and practices. Audio and visual materials that offer additional insight into the rich vodou culture will round out the program. All ages are welcome, so bring the family!
A librarian-led discussion of Claire of the Sea Light will be held on April 28 at 7 pm and A Taste of Haiti, with small bites of sweet and savory treats, will be held on May 1 at 7 pm. Registration is now underway for that event. Call 847-256-6930, stop by the Recent Arrivals desk, or register on the Library's website.
And, of course, we hope you'll join us for Ms. Danticat's visit to Wilmette on May 4 at 2 pm. Tickets for that event will be available to Wilmette and Kenilworth residents beginning April 26 and to non-residents beginning May 1.
