Click to Play

www.BookShorts.com -- Freedom to read means a great deal to people around the world, especially in times of conflict and war. This is why PEN Canada asked these award-winning writers and musicians from Canada and beyond to explore what it means to "bear witness," literally and figuratively. Presented in partnership with the Toronto Public Library, this Freedom to Read Week event (part of Keep Toronto Reading) was an amazing evening -- watch for part two (and maybe even three!) to be posted asap.
