Author says Montreal library refuses to host English book club, citing language laws
- Montreal writer Christopher DiRaddo is disappointed after a municipal library denied his request to hold an English book club, citing Quebec's new language law.
- The new Law 14 requires activities to be held mainly in French and mandates hiring a translator, which DiRaddo calls 'cost prohibitive.'
- DiRaddo expresses concern that instead of creating connections, the law puts 'barriers in the way' of community engagement.
- He believes people are seeking opportunities to connect post-pandemic, especially around shared interests like books.
