If you ask me, na who I go ask?

But I think I have watched the turn of events in Enugu and I can say for sure, Enugu is becoming a book city. In 2016, Mr Ken Ike - Ashoke Fellow and Zonal Director of FRCN South-East Zone and his colleague, Dike Chukwumerijie - Slam Champion introduced into Enugu, The Enugu Literary Society. Since then Enugu is not only changing, but ensuring that its neighbours are not left behind. You can attest to the "For Arts Sake" the Enugu Literary Society event that brought South East together on a single day (I will write about that later).

But sure enough, Enugu Literary Society is dragging kids and teens into their "reading culture", For some time now, students from some secondary schools have been attending their monthly readings on Saturdays. Check your child dressing up in school uniform and leaving the house on a Saturday, He/She is probably attending Enugu Literary Society Monthly Readings. And thus gradually Enugu is becoming not only a book city but a literary hub. I think Enugu is becoming a liveable city.

Enugu Literary Society Monthly readings, I'm sure holds every second Saturday of the month, includes both an open mic where audience are encouraged to perform or present their works and receive instant peer review and the bookjam, where authors are invited and readings done with a high level of audience interaction. A recent update shows that Enugu Literary Society have just filled the whole Saturdays of the month with a literary event. I don't fully get all the modalities yet, but I'm sure it's more than interesting.

Their venue is at Music Studio of Coal City Fm Enugu (Radio Nigeria Broadcasting House) Onitsha Road, Enugu. By 2pm prompt.

Whatever the cause, spare one Saturday and visit them. Once you attend, come tell me your experience. I'd love that for an update.
