      <image:caption>Christmas has come early at Books On Bay and as of today we’ll be offering gift certificates; it’s the perfect gift for the reader on your Christmas list! From now until Wednesday, December 3rd we’ll be accepting toy drive donations and matching every donation with a colouring book and crayons, and if you buy your toy from Dizzy Lizzy’s let them know it’s for the toy drive and they’ll donate another toy, free of charge. We also have a special selection of Christmas themed books for all ages that will be available for a limited time throughout the holiday season, so make sure to come in and check them out before they’re gone! Finally, on Saturday, November 29th we’ll be having a special shopping event for the Port Rowan Christmas party, which is a free community event with a parade at 6:00 PM followed by the annual Christmas tree lighting at 6:30 PM. Books On Bay is currently open Wednesdays through Saturdays from 10-4 until the May long weekend.</image:caption>

To celebrate the Halloween season we’re now displaying some classic horror titles from authors such as Stephen King and Mary Shelley, and for our younger readers the children’s section will also include some spooky Halloween themed books until the end of October. They won’t be around for long, so make sure to check them out while they last!</image:caption>
