Art Crawl!

Just a heads up that the annual Super Crawl is going on this Saturday on James St. North downtown Hamilton.

It's a lot of fun and a good chance to check out local musicians, artists, and shops. It runs all day so hopefully you can make it! The library will have a booth so make sure you stop by and say hi!

For more information including which bands will be performing (incl. K'Naan and Great Lake Swimmers), check out the main site here.

See you there!

Telling Tales!

The authors have been revealed for Telling Tales fest and I think you're going to be pretty excited!

For those that haven't been before, Telling Tales is a festival of authors and storytelling that takes place Sunday September 16 at Westfield Heritage Village in Rockton.

In the past they've had awesome authors (Robert Munsch!) and this year is no exception.

 This year you can meet...

• Erin Bow, author of Plain Kate.
• Deborah Ellis, author of the Breadwinner amongst other books. I've heard her speak and she's phenomenal.
• Lesley Livingston, author of the Wonderous Strange series
• Norah McClintock, teen mystery author of so many good books including her newest, Guilty.
• Richard Scrimger, funny teen author of Me and Death.
• Vicki Vansickle, author of Words that Start with B amongst others. 

I think this might be our best teen year yet! Not to mention other authors you might know like Shane Peacock.

Get all the details at tellingtales.org and I'll see you there!
