Blue Heron Books

Shelley
Knows her books, her authors, and her customers; amazing things happen when they all come together at one of the multitude of events the store hosts throughout the year. Pick a genre and you'll get a solid recommendation. In the publishing world she has been called a book promotion machine.

Rebecca
Rebecca's eclectic taste ranges from literary fiction to mystery and pop culture to graphic novels. Because she wanders down many literary roads her recommendations are knowledgeable and far-reaching. Her hobbies include rearranging the store, playing with the puppets, and colouring pictures of Thomas the Tank Engine. She's had a crush on Ron Weasley since she was 11.

Sue
Sue strives to put the right book in the right hand. She adores junior fiction and YA books, and she always has a review to share. If you're lucky, you may stumble into the store during one of Sue's famous staff story times, when she reads her newest favourite picture book to wide-eyed staff members.

Shelagh
Writer-in- residence, web-mistress and procurer of press releases, newsletters and publicity. She
loves non-fiction that reads like fiction and the voyeuristic nature of biographies.

Joy
Bookkeeper extraordinaire and general organizational goddess for many years. When not tallying columns in the back, Joy enjoys first-rate crime stories, anything to do with horses, pop culture, music and good food porn (a.k.a. cookbooks). Resident egg lady and beekeeper!

Cathy
Cathy loves to read historical fiction and children's books -- especially picture books with her grandchildren. And YOUR children if you visit for Cathy's fabulous weekly storytime!

Scarlett
Scarlett is our student bookseller on a global journey to read books that take place all around the world! She enjoys reading biographies, young adult fiction and we can always count on her to have some inspiring music playing in the store!

Nate
Nate has been a reader and lifelong customer before settling behind the counter. In addition to being our go-to Tolkien and sci-fi expert, he also ensures the light bulbs get changed and our chalkboard is beautiful thanks to his calligraphy skills.
