Ship some books with me at our small town indie bookstore!📚🌷 We recently partnered with @booksellers.ca @les_libraires to reach more customers and help make indie bookstore offerings more accessible to book lovers across Canada. In the process, we’ve been levelling up and streamlining our shipping process with their handy online services. If you’d like to have a book shipped, whether to yourself or a loved one, we would be so happy to take care of it for you. 💛 We ship several days a week with $10 flat rate, tracking and insurance included, and FREE shipping over $100. Give us a call or visit our website to place an order! #indiebookstore #smalltownbookstore #indiebooks #shopindiebookstores #almonteontario

Happy Earth Day 🌳 children’s book edition! When it comes to kids, the root of learning to care for the earth is space for curiosity and connection 💚🌎 rather than information overload. We love how these stories invite children into the natural world with gentle playfulness and create a sense of belonging. Fun fact, many of these picks are also @wildchild.natureproject -approved by Julia’s forest school class! What are some of your favourite earth-centred children’s stories? How will you be celebrating #earthday with your little ones?🌱
