It’s funny, isn’t it, how only summer gets a classification of books? 

Summer reads. Beach reads. 

They’re the books that we love to read, that have the stories that aren’t too heavy. That allow us to stop reading and go have fun and come back

What could be a more interesting and appetizing way to kick off our speaker series than talking about beer?

Authors Chris Edwards & Elaine Weeks from Walkerville Publishing will be back on June 16 at  6:30 pm

Upcoming things to watch for at River Bookshop...

Storytime is back and better than ever!

Last Sunday, we were joined by the marvelous Maestro Robert Franz of the Windsor Symphony Orchestra who shared some of his favourite books

I was to deliver a speech at the Annual General Meeting of the Windsor Public Library Board on April 12.

Unfortunately my presentation never came about as I contracted  covid and was unable to deliver the speech. Since my message is about the importance of books, libraries and independent bookstores; plus how I came to open a bookshop -  I thought there was merit in sharing it with you, our readers. 

Chase those winter blues away....

What better way to make it through the winter than to be curled up with a new book - maybe a cup of tea and a cookie or two?

t’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Snow flurries have started, but our fireplace is on and we are ready to take some of the work out of your Christmas planning. In fact, Santa himself will be popping in to our Christmas Marketplace soon.
