The Invermere Public Library invites you to an evening book reading with Jane Byers and Leesa Dean, two incredibly talented writers from Nelson. They will entertain you with stories and poems from their latest books.

Jane Byers, is the author of ‘Acquired Community’ and ‘Steeling Effects’. In ‘Steeling Effects’, her first full book of poetry, she explores why adversity breaks some people while others learn to bend.  How can we bounce back from adversity, stronger than before and embrace our own humanity with all its flawed beauty?
