Introduction to BTS and Contra Costa County Library
Tuesday, June 14, 2022 – 4:00 pm on Zoom
Do you know BTS? Join Katy Buder, a Librarian from Contra Costa County Library, for an introduction to the record-breaking Korean music group, and the ways in which your local public library can help you access music, movies, books and more to satisfy all your interests for free.
In the course of the presentation you will learn about each of the seven members of BTS, their diverse discography, message and charity work, music videos & online content, awards, ARMY (fandom), and more. Katy will also show you how to get a Contra Costa County Public Library card and some of the unexpected resources it will provide. Time permitting, a Q&A will follow the presentation.
This program was requested and coordinated by members of J-Sei’s K-drama club and Katy is delighted to be able to combine her love for libraries and BTS to meet that request.
Register for this free event on Eventbrite to secure a virtual seat. We’ll send you Zoom info prior to the event.
