The Annex bookstore

2010-09-26T17:47:00.002-03:00

Last night at The Annex bookstore was an amazing success. Joey the Penguin was read to mostly adults for the first time ever but they were very interested and were extremely supportive. Joey was alongside of some very gifted authors, editors and business owners. If you live in the Halifax area in Nova Scotia, then I strongly recommend that you check out "The Annex" bookstore in Tantallon. The energy in the building will put you at ease and make you feel right at home while you are browsing the excellent selection of fine books and other products. The best part of this bookstore is the huge support for local authors and artisans. Buy a book, grab a coffee and say hi to Carolyn the nicest soul you will ever meet. Tell her that Joey says hi!

Chebucto Book Buddies

2010-03-22T10:57:00.004-03:00

Joey the Penguin attended the Chebucto Book Buddies program that was launched on Saturday, March 13 at the Captain William Spry community centre.

The program will feature bags of books which can be borrowed by children. Favourite books will be tracked so that they can be re-borrowed. It is going to be a great cause that will help children have access to books that they wouldnt necessarily have access to without this program.

The first 200 children under 12 were given a free book and there was free face paintings, hot dogs and book readings from local authors. Joey the Penguin t-shirts were passed out and we made a lot of friends that day. If you have an opportunity to support this great program cause then please do.

The launch was a great success and Joey is anxious to get out more and meet the local people of Halifax.

Have a great day!
