We Have a Winner!
Congratulations to Brian Adduono of Springwater Township Public Library for his strong defense of Estates Large and Small by Ray Robertson which also won the People’s Choice Award.
All the defenders passionately supported their choices up to the final round which was a spirited back and forth between Brian and Bill Loucks of Meaford Public Library.
Thank you to all the defenders for choosing and supporting Canadian Literature, and we hope the audience enjoyed reading and learning more about these books. A special thank you to Wasaga Beach Public Library for hosting once again. Join us next year at Springwater Township Public Library!
