Celebrate strong girls and women on March 8 - International Women’s Day!

Expect a magical afternoon inspired by The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch, suitable for ages 5+.

Young royalty-in-training can try their hand at a dragon puzzle, design and bejewel their own crowns, enjoy themed colouring pages, and build their very own castle.

Plus two lively read-aloud story times at 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM. Costumes encouraged — paper bags optional! 

FREE, please RSVP online!

As a small business and local, independent bookstore, Polar Peek Books strives to offer you something different! When you shop local, money stays local through employment, events, donations & contributing to a vibrant downtown core. Polar Peak Books recently moved to larger premises, and the new owners invite you to drop by and check out the new look and enjoy the re-launch of this Fernie institution!
