Patty Reedyk, owner of the Polar Peek Books had this to say:
“Bookstores like mine are the cornerstone of the communities they serve. We cater to the cultural needs of Fernie, featuring local works done right here at home. We’re taking this day to highlight the economic, social and cultural contributions bookstores across the country make to Canada.”
