“As a reader, bookstores mean more to me than just a retail outlet. It’s a place that builds community, a haven where you’re free to browse as long as you like, a venue to discover authors and meet up with fellow avid readers.”“Children’s bookstores have a special place in my heart. I was thrilled when Moonbeam opened up just a few blocks away from where I live.
“I’ve heard it said that we are built by the quality of the people we surround ourselves with, and what we read. Independent bookstores give us both of those.”His pick: McNally Robinson Booksellers, Grant Avenue, Winnipeg “As a reader, I trust independent bookstores to do things with a level of intention and thoughtfulness their corporate competitors can’t. As a writer, I depend upon this trust that independent booksellers build with readers. They are some of the best advocates we have.”Her picks: Pages Books on Kensington, Calgary, and Shelf Life Books, Calgary
