Mother's Day in Absentia

It will be a Mother's Day weekend to remember, and it's not because of the snow predicted to land in Southern Ontario over the weekend!
You can't take your mom out for dinner or to see a movie this year, but you can treat your mom to puzzles, games, books, and wine! Or a Psycho movie marathon if you've got that type of mom (Candice does!)

This month's episode of The Village Podcast

The Socially Distant Episode

Hey everyone, we are back! If you thought the store closed to the public and working from home would keep us from recording, you were almost right.

It took us a bit longer to find the time we could connect but here we are.

We check in with each other, chat about popular reads for strange times, and coping mechanisms.

Now that we are all staying home all the time, we want to know either what you miss most or what you have found you don't miss at all.

Let us know by email at podcast@bookshelf.ca
