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

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

The Importance of Reading 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.Â
It's that time of year....
