On February 6th Valerie Compton and Rosemary Nixon will be speaking at the Fernie Heritage Library about their recently released books: acclaimed novels that also work as emotionally heightened meditations on motherhood and loss. The library panel discussion will focus on the theme of motherhood and loss. They will also talk about what fiction lends to such discussions. What can novels contribute to our understanding of motherhood and death that self-help books, memoirs, or other nonfiction treatments cannot? Come meet the authors and share in the discussion: February 6th, 7pm, Fernie Heritage Library.

Independence Day is designed to show how important locally owned businesses are to lively communities.
Polar Peek Books and Treasures owner Patty Reedyk says “By celebrating Independence Day with our community it’s a way for us to bring awareness to our customers of how important they are to us, and that their shopping here supports much more than just our store, but an important growing movement across Canada.”
