Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover Returns!
UAlberta Libraries' 3rd Annual Don’t Judge a Book By Its Cover starts October 29! Don’t Judge a Book By Its Cover is an annual event that aims to shed light on underrepresented groups. As a twist on regular book displays, books are wrapped in brown paper and teaser keywords are written on the front. This wrapping both symbolizes the marginalization of the featured group and adds a mystery element when selecting a book to read.
You may remember last winter's event celebrating LGBTQ2S+. This year we have chosen Indigenous Authors as our theme and we will be featuring 400 books on display at 8 libraries!
Stop in at one of our participating libraries: Rutherford, Coutts, Winspear, Cameron, Scott, Weir, Bibliothèque Saint-Jean and Augustana; October 29 - November 9 and pick up something new to read.We value your feedback! Fill in our Don’t Judge a Book By Its Cover survey and be entered to win 1 of 3 books featured in this year’s displays. Official rules below.
