Book Launch Alert! Cindy Matthews will be coming to the bookstore to launch her book of fiction called "Audrey Droop: Stories" on Saturday, November 7 at 1pm. It is free!

Here's a brief description from the publisher: Rich with humour, heartbreak, and humanity, these stories explore how ordinary people navigate extraordinary circumstances. Set in a fictional Canadian small town, Audrey Droop: Stories is a compelling, poignant collection about resilience, connection, and the enduring marks left by the choices we make and the chances we take.
