Toronto Women's Bookstore Satellite Celebratory Evening of Readings

Tuesday Oct 30 2012 7:00 pm, Winnipeg, Grant Park
NOTE: This event has already taken place. Please visit this page to see our upcoming events.

For 39 years, Toronto Women’s Bookstore has served the community, readers and writers, both in Toronto and further afield.

In mid-October TWB owner Victoria Moreno, announced that the store will close its doors at the end of November.

Former Winnipegger Tanis MacDonald is planning a celebratory event in Toronto on October 30. And so we’re planning a satellite/sympathy event in Winnipeg for the same day at McNally Robinson Booksellers, to mark TWB’s passing, to talk about the need for spaces dedicated to women, the need for independent booksellers.

What better space than McNally Robinson? And what better community of readers and writers than in Winnipeg?

So far, confirmed readers include Katherine Bitney, Shawna Dempsey, Elizabeth Denny, Dora Dueck, Shayla Elizabeth, Michelle Elrick, Joanne Epp, Michelle Forrest, hannah_g, Ariel Gordon, Carolyn Gray, Patti Grayson, Sally Ito, Esmé Claire Keith, Sarah Klassen, Sheila McClarty, Christina Penner, Adele Perry, Mela Renard, Daria Salamon, Angeline Schellenberg, Deborah Schnitzer, Brenda Sciberras, Melissa Steele, Jennifer Still, Melanie Dennis Unrau, Katherena Vermette, Jessica Woolford, and Monique Woroniak with more to come! Please join us!
