Safe travels, Amy. We hope the winds bring you back our way again! ⛵💙

📚 Pick a book. Make a donation. Find an Adirondack.

Stop into Sofie’s Book Box at Vendor Village Pictou Waterfront, find your next read and leave a donation in support of the Pictou Academy Library.

Then curl up in an Adirondack on the waterfront with a good book. Pretty good way to spend a summer afternoon. 📖☀️
