As part of the I Love Local movement in Halifax, Woozles has special events planned for this Saturday’s Open City celebration in downtown Halifax.

Drop by Woozles on Saturday May 11th. We will be offering:

- free gift with purchase.
- sidewalk chalk drawing outside the store, for budding artists of all ages.
- draws for Playmobil prize packages.
- picture drawing: draw us a picture of what you love about Halifax and our fair municipality. These pictures will become part of a mural Woozles will create in the store, to celebrate our fair city!
- local author Lisa Harrington will be at Woozles from 2:00 – 3:00pm to read from, and sign copies of, her new young adult novel Live to Tell.

We look forward to seeing all of our Woozles friends every day!

Checkout the I Love Local website for a list of participating businesses and their Saturday specials.

April is a very busy month for us here at Woozles. We have book launches, book fairs, and contests on the go.
We are excited to be involved with all of these events, and we want to share the details so that you can join in too!

March 22nd until April 14th:
Contest to win tickets for two to Ballet Jorgen’s performance of Swan Lake
Drop off a ballet themed drawing at the store or come in and dance for us. Then, enter your name in a draw for two sets of tickets for two to an April 19 performace of Swan Lake at the Rebecca Cohn auditorium in Halifax. We will draw for the winning tickets on Sunday April 14th. Good luck!


April 6th
James Leck Book Launch
From the author of The Adventures of Jack Lime comes a new book entitled The Further Adventures of Jack Lime (Kids Can Press). In his new book, amateur sleuth Jack Lime has more mysteries to solve in his high school, which he does with his trademark sharp wit and dry humour.

Please join James Leck and Woozles on Saturday April 6, 2013 from 2-4pm at the Alderney Gate Library (Maxine Tynes Room) to hear more about this middle grade book.


April 14th
Jill MacLean Book Launch
Jill MacLean’s new book is entitled Nix Minus One (Pajama Press). This is a book written in verse. This doesn’t mean rhythmic rhymes throughout, rather a poetic style with carefully chosen words that describe the emotions and thoughts of the characters.
This is a young adult book about a 15 year old boy named Nix and his older sister Roxy. Jill is the award winning author of The Nine Lives of Travis Keating, The Present Tense of Prinny Murphy, and Home Truths.

Please join Jill MacLean and Woozles on Sunday April 14, 2013 from 2-4pm at the Writers’ Federation (1113 Marginal Road, Halifax) to hear more about this young adult book.


April 18th and 19th:
Emergent Learning Conference at the World Trade and Convention Centre
Woozles is excited to be a bookseller at the Emergent Learning Conference again this year. Deepak Chopra is this year’s keynote speaker. Chopra is a global leader and pioneer in the field of mind-body medicine.

With many other presenters scheduled over the two day conference, this year’s event will prove to be as informative and inspirational to Atlantic Canadian educators as it was last year. For more details about the conference, visit their website at www.emergent2013.com.
