Take your time in downtown Uxbridge where our beloved Blue Heron Books has a host of activities in store for the kids: write a letter to your kindred spirit on custom Anne stationery, try a game of hopscotch, snap a selfie, pick up an Anne of Green Gables cookbook signed by Lucy Maud Montgomery’s granddaughter, and take home a free craft kit.
Two-time winner of The Libris Award (Best Bookstore in Canada) and named as a favourite by the legendary Stuart McLean, Blue Heron Books values its location in a 200-year-old building located in the busy and popular shopping area once frequented by former resident Lucy Maud Montgomery. The store is a hub for the community of Uxbridge and a bastion of friendly chaos where everyone is welcome. For over 30 years Blue Heron Books has played host to, and continues to showcase, a veritable who’s who of the world’s literary community and services over 100 local schools and 27 book clubs.
