Lesley Crewe will be reading at our new Woodlawn branch on Wednesday September 15th, 7:00 p.m.

Jon Tattrie will be reading at the Halifax North branch on Thursday September 16th, 7:00p.m.

The Hermit of Africville: the life of Eddie Carvery, by Jon Tattrie.

Jon Tattrie captures the story of Eddie Carvery and his struggle for justice. When Africville was bulldozed in the 1960s under the guise of urban renewal, Eddie Carvery pitched a tent in protest. Forty years, three families, seven heart attacks and numerous attempts on his life later, he remains living on the land where he was born. Eddie Carvery will also appear with Jon Tattrie.
