Collected Works Bookstore is pleased to offer a 45-minute Story Time session every Wednesday and Thursday at 10.45am! Featured books cater to children aged 6 months to 5 years. Most sessions begin with simple but engaging books for the youngest listeners, and build to longer picture books, rhyming poems, our newest favorites, and classics for the "big kids." As attention spans vary, families are welcome to come and go as they wish throughout Story Time--- we are delighted to host the group to its saturation point! Occasionally, we break into song if the children need movement or a change of pace. We also encourage dialogue as the stories are read and the audience's curiosity is piqued. All children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult throughout the Story Time. Please come enjoy our gatherings and follow up with a visit to our cafe; nothing goes with a good story like a great snack! Location:

Collected Works Bookstore proudly features poets Cyrus Cassells and Kate Braid for a reading from their latest work.
Cyrus Cassells' fifth book, The Crossed-Out Swastika, commemorates the blazing integrity of young people caught in the vise of World War II. Cassells follows the lives of historical and semi-fictional characters to amplify moments of almost impossible music, bravery, beauty, and redemption, illuminating the human spirit against unspeakable tyranny. Reviewing the book, poet Li-Young Li noted, "In The Crossed-Out Swastika, Cyrus Cassells sets out to accomplish a genuine synthesis, to know the nature of the powers which thwart our human evolution, and to create a voice which can account for them and comprehend them."
Kate Braid's latest book, Turning Left to the Ladies, catalogues some of the poet's experiences during her fifteen years of working in construction. Of the collection, Our Times said, "Always clear and accessible, Braid's poetry is rich with vivid descriptive details, mini-narratives, character, and truths of every day experience, making Turning Left to the Ladies a compelling collection for women or men, whether they are blue-collar or white-collar, as well as for the poetry-averse and for the poetry fan alike." Inward to the Bones: Georgia O'Keefe's Journey with Emily Carr is an imaginary journal that painter Georgia O'Keefe might have kept if she and Canadian painter Emily Carr had ever taken a trip together throughout New Mexico and British Columbia. It was nominated one of the Literary Network's Top Ten Canadian Poetry Books for 1999, and won the Vancity Book Award.
