Celebrating the depth and diversity of BC publishing
Join North Shore libraries for a refreshing summer series with local authors and local brews! Attend all four Brews & Books to win a prize (details below).
Join us at Bridge Brewing Co. to learn more about camping in Western Canada! Author Jayne Seagrave will explain how she started researching Provincial Park camping in the early 1990s and then how camping has changed over the years. She will then go on to discuss her favourite camp sites and tips for planning a camping trip.
Camping British Columbia, the Rockies and Yukon by Jayne Seagrave is Western Canada’s quintessential camping guide—now in its 9th edition— laying the ground-work for anyone planning to get out of the city and explore the best that nature has to offer. At a time when many people are bursting to travel but still concerned with safety, Camping British Columbia, the Rockies, and the Yukon offers over 150 possibilities for campers of every age and experience level. In conducting the research for the ninth edition, Jayne did what she always does – she visited campgrounds to ‘test the waters’ and speak to those who work for BC Parks to get the real scoop. www.jayneseagrave.com
