Learn how TikTok star Oliver James is using social media to fight the stigma associated with illiteracy.

Join us February 16 for a virtual talk with Oliver James, one of the brightest new stars on TikTok’s BookTok platform. His story makes for one of the most uplifting in the literary world: he taught himself to read at the age of 34 by leveraging TikTok. Oliver is also a fitness aficionado and personal trainer who got started on his reading journey while working out, and now he’s set a “modest” goal of reading 100 books this year. We promise you will come away from this talk inspired!
