While it isn’t music, There will be a French language book fair at the French community centre, La Cité des Prairies, at 2104 - ave South, Dec. 8-10. So stop by.
The salon du livre (which roughly translates to "book fair") is an opportunity for members of the French-speaking community - francophone or otherwise - to celebrate French literacy in Alberta and to find French-language resources. The main feature of the Salon is a three-day book sale. Although the Médiathèque Francophone Emma Morrier has a fairly impressive collection of French-language material for Lethbridge and Southern Alberta to access, it remains difficult to purchase similar resources. The salon du livre gives Southern Alberta an opportunity to take home their very own French books and DVDs. The fair will take place from the Dec. 8-10, just in time for French speakers and their families to include it in their Christmas shopping.
