Dame Kghia Speaks actually has little to do with what I have to say. Rather, it is a calendar of upcoming events of a bookish nature - book discussions, book trivia, Library events, and other activities of interest to readers. While the Caledon Library is the source of many of these events, I've widen the scope to go beyond the borders of Caledon to encompass all of the Second Life grid.
If you would like see your event included, please submit your event through this form or contact me in-world. I will verify all submissions, and they are included at my discretion.
Sincerely,
Dame Kghia Gherardi
