About this Event


Book Club at LAC: Asian Heritage Month
In May, as we celebrate Asian Heritage Month, Book Club will explore stories that bring to life the rich and diverse pan-Asian experiences in Canada and around the world.
What is Book Club?
Book Club lets you gather with other readers and explore works connected to a shared theme. Each session begins with a conversation between a facilitator and a guest reader. Participants are then invited to ask questions, present their favourite books, engage in discussion with fellow readers, and browse related books from LAC’s collections.
No prior reading is required to participate. Every month we will suggest a list of titles from the collections preserved at LAC that can guide and inspire your reading and our conversation.
Registration
Book Club will be in English or French, depending on the date. Seating is limited, so please register:
French Book Club: Thursday, May 14, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. (ET)
English Book Club: Friday, May 15, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. (ET)

Club de lecture de BAC : Mois du patrimoine asiatique
En mai, à l’occasion du Mois du patrimoine asiatique, le Club de lecture explorera des récits qui témoignent de la richesse et de la diversité des expériences panasiatiques, tant au Canada qu’ailleurs dans le monde.
Quest-ce que le Club de lecture?
Le Club de lecture vous permet d’explorer des ouvrages autour d’un thème commun, en compagnie d’autres lecteurs et lectrices. Chaque atelier s’ouvre sur un échange entre la personne qui anime et celle qui fait la lecture. Le public est ensuite invité à poser des questions, à présenter ses livres préférés, à échanger et à découvrir les ouvrages proposés issus des collections de BAC.
Aucune lecture préalable n’est requise pour participer. Chaque mois, nous vous proposerons une liste de titres issus des collections conservées à BAC qui pourront guider et inspirer vos lectures ainsi que nos discussions.
Inscription
Il y aura un atelier en français et un en anglais, à des dates différentes. Le nombre de places étant limité, veuillez vous inscrire :
Club de lecture en français : jeudi 14 mai 2026, de 12 h à 12 h 45 (HE)
Club de lecture en anglais : vendredi 15 mai 2026, de 12 h à 12 h 45 (HE)
Même si les places en ligne sont toutes réservées, vous pouvez vous présenter en personne au 395, rue Wellington, à Ottawa, le jour de l’événement. Des places pourraient se libérer à la dernière minute.
Stationnement
Des espaces de stationnement payants sont situés au 395, rue Wellington, à Ottawa, du côté ouest de l’édifice. On trouve aussi dans les rues avoisinantes des parcs de stationnement publics et des parcomètres.
