Growing and Changing

We're teaming up with the Fort McMurray Public Library! The library is starting a book club program, which you'll see advertised in the coming weeks. The concept and structure of the club won't change, not unless members want it too, but we'll be meeting at the new library and hopefully will be attracting more members. So come to the inaugural meeting on October 7th, bring ideas and enthusiasm, and encourage others to join! If you have any questions for me you can comment here. The librarian organizing the book club program is Sara House, and you can contact here at Sara.House@fmpl.ca or 780-743-7036.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone, old and new, on October 7th at the library!

New Website for Fort McMurray

Here is the (temporary) website for Arts and Culture in Wood Buffalo. Check it out to see what's going on in our community!

September meeting: Alias Grace

How's everyone doing? We've decided to postpone our next meeting until September, to allow everyone plenty of time to read our next book. But come even if you didn't! Sophie selected Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood. Our next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, September 9th at 7:30 pm at Amy's house. Let me know here if you can't make it and want to suggest a different day or time. Happy reading and enjoy the summer!

New tool for finding books

Book Seer is a search engine that will offer recommendations based on a book title or author name. It's the same function as Amazon, but if you don't use Amazon you can try this.

Book Swap

The Fort McMurray Public Library will be hosting a book swap at its new location at Macdonald Island on Saturday, June 14th, from 11 am to 3 pm. Come enjoy and support the library!

June meeting: Fluke

How's everyone out there? I hope we can all make it to our next meeting, which is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday June 24th at 7:30 pm. We'll be reading Fluke by Christopher Moore. The location is Amy's townhouse, unit 5101 at 200 Lougheed Drive in Timberlea. Rescheduling etc can be arranged on this post. Happy reading, see you in June!

May meeting: The Winter Vault

The field season is upon us, but for those who have time our book for May is Anne Michaels's new novel The Winter Vault. Coles in the mall has it in stock for a change! The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for May 27th, but please let me know here if you have a conflict and it can be rescheduled. I hope to see you all in one month!
