Lawrence Hill (Oct. 5 at 7 p.m.) -- Oakville Public Library, the OCPA and A Different Drummer Books have partnered to host Lawrence Hill, award-winning author of The Book of Negroes. Published in 2007, The Book of Negroes became an international blockbuster and won a host of accolades, including the Commonwealth Writers' Prize and CBC's Canada Reads. It was also adapted into a miniseries that was an international CBC-TV co-production. His newest novel, The Illegal, released on Tuesday, was inspired by survival stories of undocumented refugees around the world. Hill has been working on the novel for five years and its release is quite timely. Though it only just debuted, The Illegal is already being prepped for television by CBC-TV . Toronto-based production company Conquering Lion Pictures has also purchased the adaptation rights, which means The Illegal may be hitting the silver screen in the future. Tickets cost $20 tickets and are available at all library branches, online through the OCPA's box office and at A Different Drummer Books in Burlington. -- Submitted by the Oakville Public Library Certified electricians Over 25 years experience Residential & commercial New construction or Renovation Pot lights & fixture installation New circuits Hot tubs, Panel upgrades Landscape lighting Emergency backup generators Inspections for insurance PERFECT ELECTRIC SALE Potlight Installation Fine cabinetry proudly made in Canada for any room in the house FREE Upgrade to Plywood Cabinets with the purchase of a complete kitchen. * September 30/15 * Offer Offerexpires expires August 31, 2015. 15% * OFF Free Estimates Licensed & Insured All Work Guaranteed (ECRA/ESA # 7001336) *Cannot be combined with any other offer.
