We are delighted to welcome local illustrator Isabelle Arsenault and author Jean Pendziwol (joining us all the way from Thunder Bay) at 1 p.m. for a reading and signing of their new children's book Once Upon a Northern Night. Then Kid Koala will be here for an audio performance based on his graphic novel Space Cadet!

We are delighted to welcome Isabelle back to the bookstore to celebrate the launch of Once Upon a Northern Night!
