BLP Wraps up 2011 Book Talk Series

On December 1, University of the West hosted the final event of the 2011 BLP Book Talk Series. During this year Buddha’s Light Publishing has presented book talks, book showcases, readings, and new release signings at local Los Angeles area venues. The book talks have provided an opportunity for readers to learn about our titles, to get a first look at new releases, to hear interesting background stories about the books, and to meet the authors and editors of some of the titles. The events have also allowed us to become more acquainted with our readership and to garner valuable feedback about the topics of current interest to our readers. The book talks and readings were presented by BLP staff and volunteers.

Events in this year’s series included a book showcase at Brandt Bookshop in Glendale, a new release event and book showcase at Mystic Journey Bookstore in Venice, a new release and reading at Flintridge Bookstore and Coffeehouse in La Cañada, and a book showcase at Dharma Center Bookstore in Whittier. Also in the series were four “tea and book talks” held at Hsi Lai Temple on Sundays during the month of April. The schedule also included monthly book talks at the University of the West in Rosemead.

This is the first year we have held a book talk series, follow this blog or like us on Facebook for information about dates and locations of the 2012 BLP Book Talk Series.
