Books on the Bench: Amanda Peters

September 27 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Join us under the tent at Fielding Estate Winery for an evening with Amanda Peters.

Amanda is a writer of Mi’kmaq and settler ancestry. Her debut novel, The Berry Pickers, was a bestseller in Canada. In her brand-new short story collection, Waiting for the Long Night Moon, Amanda describes the Indigenous experience from an astonishingly wide spectrum in time and place—from contact with the first European settlers, to the forced removal of Indigenous children, to the present-day fight for the right to clean water.

Your $45 ticket includes a glass of wine or mocktail and a blueberry-themed treat. Non-alcoholic options will also be available. Additional beverages can be purchased.

Thanks to our generous sponsors, including:

Wine Sponsor: The Jacob Senior Living

Author Sponsor: Niagara Peninsula Energy

Library Advocate: Jarod Brandon, Realtor 

Food Sponsor: CHARTwell Orchards Retirement Residence

Venue Sponsor: Fielding Estate Winery

This is a fundraiser in support of Lincoln Pelham Public Library. A $20 tax receipt is included in your ticket purchase. All proceeds support future collections, programs, and services.

Tickets are available at all LPPL branches and online via CanadaHelps.
