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. 905-852-4282Books and Brunch – February 2011
Alissa York/Dorothy Ellen Palmer and Canada Reads! finalist Angie Abdou
Wyndance Golf Club, 11:00 am
On February 6th some more great authors are coming to town. For the first Books and Brunch event of 2011 Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist Alissa York will be on hand to read from her novel Fauna. Ms. York will be joined by first time author Dorothy Ellen Palmer who will be reading from her novel When Fenelon Falls. And in a perfect timing twist of fate, Canada Reads! finalist Angie Abdou will also be joining us for the event.
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.
