Have you seen all the lovely literary candles and perfume rollers in the store lately?

These are made by the lovely local artist, Shatrine! Shatrine was one of the very first local artist to join the book nook family and her candles are still one of our favorite items in the store! She knows how to bring our favorite book characters to life through scent!

In addition to creating the candles and perfumes we all love Shatrine is a loving wife, a devoted mother and a talented Graphic designer!

We are excited to announce that The Book Nook will be moving to the old Parson's Building hopefully in January!

There is a lot happening in our world right now and it can sometimes feel overwhelming and out of our control. One thing we can do during this time is read books with the intent to understand and explore voices that may be different then our own.

A few months ago I had the opportunity to listen to award-winning authors Dr. Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds speak about the history of racist ideas in America and how we can become better advocates for change.

Big shout out to our incredible teen review book club members. We unfortunately didn't get everyone in the photo during our first virtual book club at The Book Nook in Canby. These guys are super readers! They meet and read and review books for us every month. Look for shelf tags around the store to see what new releases they highly recommend!
