Three cheers for the weekend! It promises to be a great one, with maple-everything in the air and our very own WordShop, hosted by The Ginger Press, taking place at the Library on Sunday.

Join us for a day of author talks and presentations on everything from children’s books and crime writing to penning a novel, plus the debate over using generative AI for writing. (That last one is my session. 🤓)

On Saturday, you might like to check out the first Annual Ziibaakdakaan Maple Weekend at Cape Croker Park, Meaford Maple Mania, or the Kemble Maple Tour. See our Event Listings for details.

Speaking of… we’re curious, so here’s a question for full subscribers who have access to them:
