We're excited to welcome back local author and budding poet Judy Stewart to the Cochrane Public Library for a special fireside chat!

After her successful event, Poetic Echoes, with her sister this summer, we are so excited to have her return to share her own brand new book, Lady's Slipper. This collection of short stories and poetry is inspired by Judy's life, experiences, and travels across Canada, offering beautiful glimpses into the landscapes and people she's with whom she has shared time. It is a perfect opportunity to enjoy a relaxed evening, hear directly from a local author, and connect with fellow poetry lovers.
