RIVER BOOKSHOP BOOK CLUB

The last Tuesday of every month.

Register at info@riverbookshop.com to join us in a lively and interesting discussion of a different book each month! Didn't get to finish the book? No worries - we'll also discuss all the other great books we've read or loved lately.

Art from the Amherstburg Freedom Museum collection was showcased in February. The artwork featured a mix of styles, techniques, and subject matter related to the Black experience. To view the exhibit online, please click here.
