SUMMARY:Book Journaling Workshop with Plan It With Stickers
DESCRIPTION:Bailey Books is thrilled to be hosting Selina Chan\, founder of Plan It With Stickers\, for a book journaling workshop.  Book journaling is a great way to not only track your reading but experiment with different layouts and let your creativity run wild.  Your ticket will include a blank journal and selection of stickers to get you started\, with more available for purchase after the workshop is done.\n\nSelina will talk us through how Book Journaling started\, why it became such a popular trend\, and what we can learn from the hobby of Book Journaling.\nThen we explore the different types of layouts that can be created in a book journal. From simple and minimalistic to full tracker pages that are fully decorated to the edges of the paper.\nAttendees will receive a handout of these different types of layouts to get a visual reference of these different design options.  Selina will also bring some of her own journals to pass around during the workshop.  This will help inspire you to try new and exciting layouts for your own book journal!\n\nWe expect this workshop to take about 60-90 minutes and guests are welcome to browse the Plan It With Stickers selection after it’s wrapped up.\n\nIf this sounds like your idea of a good time\, tickets are available here.  We have limited seating so don’t delay!

SUMMARY:Author Event with Jim the Pug and Susan Lipkus
DESCRIPTION:This is perhaps the most excited we have ever been for an author event because Jim the Pug is going to be here in the store!!!  “Jim the Pug” is the heartwarming true story of how our local author\, Susan\, came to be the guardian of a sweet pug puppy with a bad leg that ended up needing to be amputated.  Susan and Jim will be joining us May 16 at 2:00 for a reading and signing (paw stamping?) of their book.  We are going to try to be cool\, but Jim is a bit of a celebrity around here and we’re very excited.  Parsley will also be staying home that day as she doesn’t realize she has no teeth and would definitely try and fight Jim.

SUMMARY:Author Event with Mark Lisac
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin local author and veteran Alberta journalist Mark Lisac for a reading and signing of his latest book\, The Carbon Eaters \n“Unbelievable\,” Painter said. “Is this place for real?” Reinhold replied\, “Totally believable. You haven’t been here long enough to understand the local thought process.” A massive black space ship is hovering over a thinly populated region of southern Alberta. Its only apparent interest? Eating coal. It makes no attempts to communicate and leaves people alone. It just sends drones to grind away at thin seams of coal in the side of a deep river valley. The federal government sends several top experts to figure out what is happening. Franklin Hattori\, a cultural anthropologist on the edge of a mental breakdown\, is surprised when he’s called to join the expedition. The reason for his inclusion is initially as transparent to him as that ship that looks like an ebony ink blot in the sky\, but he’s not one to turn down an opportunity of a lifetime. Soon\, he finds himself on a team with a chemist\, a National Defence liaison officer\, a recently returned astronaut\, a political troubleshooter still coping with trauma suffered in Lisac’s earlier novel Where the Bodies Lie\, and an Ottawa lawyer whom Hattori knows well. After they start to investigate\, the ambiguity of their situation quickly sinks in. Will they learn more about the mysterious visitors\, about the strange province where they have been sent to work\, or about themselves? It’s magic realism\, and a nuanced\, tragi-comic satire. \nMark will join us from 2:00 to 3:00

SUMMARY:Author Event with Apollo Kowalyk
DESCRIPTION:Join local author Apollo Kowalyk for a reading and signing of his latest novel\, The Iron Pig.  Apollo will be joining us on October 10 from 2:00 to 3:00 \nThe last of the old breed\, he works the street\, part of a broken justice system he no longer trusts or believes in. He struggles to understand the new generation of street soldiers\, and rails against the way technology has stripped the job of its humanity. Haunted by the ghosts of his past\, he contemplates an uncertain future\, unaware that fate has something shocking in store for him. He is The Iron Pig.

His debut picture book\, The Girls: The Wild and Wondrous Lives of Jean Wallbridge and Mary Imrie\, introduces young readers to Canada’s first all-female architectural firm and the remarkable love story behind their groundbreaking work.The book has been recognized as part of one of Canada’s largest queer picture book collections created by Senator Kristopher Wells called ‘Reading with Pride: Stories for Everyone.”\n\n\nTyson hopes his stories help queer kids and families feel seen and represented. He hopes they inspire young readers to ask questions\, celebrate differences\, and discover that history is full of amazing people just waiting to be found.
