We are so excited to announce! Barrhaven Meetup first meetup: Tuesday, April 22, 2025 at 7pm Cafe Cristal, 240 Kennevale Dr. After months of so many of you asking, we will finally be coming to your corner of the 613, Barrhaven! Serving areas like Fallowfield, Manotick and Riverside South, and meeting at Cafe Cristal, this will be a welcome addition to SBC613's growing list of meetups. All this, thanks to Ashley Raymond, who made all the plans and will be hosting you each month. The timing of the meetup is 7pm to 9pm, and will run typically like other meetups, with a moment or two to settle in and order a little something to drink and snack on, followed by a lovely hour to lose yourself in whatever book (or at least one of them!) you're currently reading. Afterwards, you can either slip away or stick around for a little more time to share what you're reading and get to know some of your bookish neighbours! Have fun, Barrhaven! · · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · · A reminder to sign up for SBC613's first-ever Book Swap! Book swaps are great opportunities to shed some of your old reads and welcome in some new ones: a wonderful, free exchange of recycle, re-use, and RE-READ.

June 2025 “Of course, fresh flowers are the answerto any June gloom you may be feeling.Flowers really do solve all problems.” ― Mia Moretti cr: Natalie Kinnear Happy June, dear Reader! The warmth and sunshine of June is here, bringing with it cozy Spring reads! In May, we had the opportunity to share about SBC at the Next Chapter Expo out at Stanley's Olde Maple Lane Farm, where we chatted with people about the joys of reading and about what their current reads were. It was a wonderful event!...
