This February we’re joined by authors Phoebe Wang and Kate Gies at Sheridan College Hazel McCallion Campus! Our lineup of talented writers will share their work in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Come sip on some coffee, meet fellow book lovers, and immerse yourself in a world of words. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to support local artists and indulge in the magic of storytelling. More information coming soon.
