Happy New Year!

Educate ~ Inspire ~ Engage ~ Entertain

Since our opening on August 14th we have used our four values as a foundation supporting all that we do - driving the selection of our titles, speakers, events and our everyday interactions with our readers.

 

Grey is not our favourite colour.

Here we sit with the rest of Windsor/Essex in Grey Level lockdown. It's not the way that we planned on spending our pre-Christmas period but we are nothing if not adaptable.

Here's our plan

Well, the Christmas season is upon us and part of the joy of the season is finding that perfect gift.

The team at River Bookshop is here for you with gift giving ideas for everyone in the family!

Amherstburg is looking more and more festive.

Between River Lights and all the downtown businesses getting their decorations up we are a regular Winter Wonderland complete with our first snowfall this last weekend.

The River Bookshop is all set for this holiday season with offerings to satisfy everyone on your Christmas list.

Hi Readers!

We are hoping you are all doing well and making the best of the current situation. Be sure to make time for some self-care. Reading a good book (or newsletter!) is a good way to relax and soothe an overworked and overworried mind. 

Hi Bibliophiles!

Don't worry, there won't always be two newsletters in one month. Eventually we'll be busy talking books and events and authors in person but for now we want to give you a peek at how we got here and how the River Bookshop came to be....by way of (perhaps) biweekly news

Hi Booklovers!

There have been lots of changes seen in world the last month or so and here at River Bookshop we are no different.
