Saturday, September 18, 2021, is I’m Buying an NB Book! day. Bookstores, publishers, and literary organizations across New Brunswick have teamed up to launch this initiative which aims to highlight New Brunswick authors and increase sales of their books in local bookstores.

With literature as with food, buying local has a positive impact on the vitality and growth of our community. We invite readers and the literary sector to participate in I’m Buying an NB Book! day in their own way.

All initiatives put forward by individuals or by organizations to promote or to participate in this day are welcomed.

Here are a few ways to participate:

 Customize the I’m Buying an NB Book! poster (can be printed here: https://bit.ly/3BHjccj) by adding the address or website of a local bookstore or publisher and place the poster in a public setting (bookstore, library, market, theatre, cultural centre, restaurant, café, community centre, university, college, etc.).

 Use the digital poster, tagline, and hashtags (#September18 #myNBbooks #IReadLocal) to promote I’m buying an NB book! day on social media (downloadable digital posters here: https://bit.ly/3BHjccj).

 Share your New Brunswick book suggestions on social media.

The Estey Art Initiative is a transformational art program that is offered to children all over New Brunswick. Students will gain self confidence, sense of pride, and a sense of accomplishment through the direction of our talented Art Instructors.

In each session, the student artists will draw a new subject, and are encouraged to make their art intuitively and unique to their personalities with the use of the many art mediums that we use. Art instructors teach the curriculum step by step, breaking down concepts to make the overall picture achievable.

Not only do the student artists learn how to draw the subject in steps but then are also provided with a live demonstration of how to use a specific art medium to get the best results for their art from professional artists. That is when the student artists can unleash their potential and creativity to make their art their own. In this program encourages self expression, mindfulness, and gives children a lifelong coping skill.
