The unpretentious atmosphere of Blue Heron Books with its comfy chairs, wood shelving and creaky floors lends itself to a long slow, browsing session, but under that sleepy atmosphere vibrates a strong pulse. The store has a quaint, old-fashioned look with an up tempo vibe, because there is always something happening. The store is a hub for the community and a bastion of calm chaos where everyone is welcome, even the local dogs that drop by with their owners for a treat from the tin kept under the front counter.
62 Brock St. W., Uxbridge, Ontario. 905-852-4282BHB Book Club
Our in-store book club was established in 2004 and is open to all. This constantly evolving group meets the 3rd Wednesday of every month at one of Uxbridge’s local restaurants for an informal and non-threatening discussion of each month’s pick.
Dinner, for those interested, commences at 6:30pm and the meeting starts one hour later at 7:30pm.
Sometimes the event can incorporate a theme from the month’s selection through a specially designed menu such as the Ukrainian meal chef Jeremy Buckingham created to complement A Short History of Tractor in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka (our November 2010 book club pick) or we will have the author join us to encourage a more in depth discussion. Angie Abdou joined our group in 2011 to discuss The Bone Cage just before the finals of Canada Reads.
This group is open to all.
Please note that all book club selections are 20% off for book club members.

We've listened in for years, but this year CBC Books turned the spotlight on Blue Heron Books, naming it the Independent Bookseller for the month of January.
