“You see, bookshops are dreams built of wood and paper. They are time travel and escape and knowledge and power. They are, simply put, the best of places.” ― Jen Campbell, The Bookshop Book
Many of the books we have in the store were written by writers who belong to the long running Port Moody Writers Group. Several of these writers, lead by Erik D'Souza, recently published the anthology, New Beginnings: A Collection of Creative Writing from BC Writers. Conceived as a fundraiser for Share Family & Community Services Society, the book features over 30 writers, and includes short story and fiction excerpts, memoir, and children's stories. Please come by the store to pick up your copy. You'll be delighted with the range and quality of the writing, and you'll be supporting a much loved and much needed agency in the Tri-Cities too!
We are also very happy to support this fundraiser for the Castle Park Elementary Learning Garden!
Author Owen Carlsen is in Grade 3 and Illustrator Kiana Hrabinsky is in Grade 5 at Castle Park Elementary School, here in Port Coquitlam. We have lots of copies in the store, so come on in, support a terrific project for a local school, support these two children in their early and awesome community involvement! To find out more about the project, and learn more about Owen and Kiana, here's an article from the Tri-City News.
