Book Reading and Signing at Stratford Library

Sheila signing books

A huge thank you to the Stratford Library and Tom Holehan for sponsoring my Meet-the-Author Event last week.

Sheila answering questions

I met a lot of wonderful book readers who share my enthusiasm for memoir.

Sheila meeting the audience

I was impressed by the thoughtful questions and comments I received about my personal experiences, writing and important issues like body image, motherhood and truth in memoir.

I'll keep you updated on future readings.

Your Stripper is Overdue

The Ottawa Sun reports that The Ottawa Public Library is piloting a program called the Human Library on Jan. 28.

“The library is partnering with the CBC and the Canadian War Museum to loan out people as ‘human books’.

“Real People. Real Conversations. Talk to people one-on-one about their diverse experiences.””

So you can check out all kinds of people for some conversation including: paramedic, firefighter, judge, hooker, and, of course, stripper.

I think it’s awesome that the program is offering such an eclectic offering of human books. It would be a shame if the only reads available were your typical job-fair or bring-your-parent-to-school type jobs.

Perhaps this is a way to legitimatize the work that all people do.
