Lots of interesting talk about technology and the always changing role libraries play in our community. What really caught my eye was his local book pick:

“Falling Into Place by John Terpstra – This amazing book was just reprinted by Gaspereau Press. In superb language, it reminds us that we live in a place of great natural beauty. I recently read it for the second time.”

We still have a few copies left after a busy holiday season – but are expecting a re-order very soon.

One of the more popular items in the shop, not just this holiday season but over the last year, has to be the fantastic line of CBC merch from the good folks at Red Canoe. We just got word more stock is coming our way early next week – just in time for Xmas. I am also very aware a big-box corporate goliath has decided to carry this bag (we had it first!) and would like to encourage you to buy this item locally. We are now reserving bags and also offering a deal: Buy a CBC bag ($39.95) from us and we’ll take $7 off a Red Canoe shirt in stock (Reg. price $32.00 - one shirt per sale).
