Books Start Here MLA Meet & Greet
On March 23rd, the Books Start Here campaign invited Nova Scotia Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) to a meet and greet event. Local book publishers and authors hosted more than 20 MLAs from all three political parties, presenting the campaign’s goals and showing local politicians the success and growth potential of the local book publishing industry.
Our friends at Nimbus Publishing created a fantastic video presentation for the event on the benefits of local publishing in our communities:
A special thank-you to all the authors, illustrators, editors and other publishing industry folks who came out in support, particularly to speakers Stephen Kimber and Alan Sylliboy.
