This Saturday is Canadian Independent Bookstore Day. It’ll be a great day to go for a walk and support World of Maps*, Perfect Books*, Octopus Books*, Books on Beechwood*, Le Coin de Livre, Black Squirrel Books, Barely Bruised Book Club, Hintonburg Kids, Singing Pebble*, Comet Comics, Re-Read Used Books, and The Spaniel’s Tale*. In Gatineau, try Librairie du Soleil, Michabou Librairie bilingue, and Bouquinart Gallerie et Galerie d'Art. Apt 613 says that those bookshops with the asterisk are taking part in a Indie Bookstore Crawl where you can collect stamps from each visit. We don't know anything about it, so blame Apt 613 for any miscommunication. – Martha and Darren |
