SUMMARY:Book Launch - The Range Rules
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the launch of The Range Rules by Darren Greer. \n\n\n\nWhen Ryan and Shawn Sullivan’s socially ambitious father enrolls them in the prestigious Novato Towne School for Boys\, the brothers unwittingly uncover the strange legacy of Charles Steven Kaye\, a student who\, expelled two decades prior for “lewd and disgusting acts\,” became the notorious and universally reviled queer pornographer John Dark. \n\n\n\nObsessed with the enigmatic figure of Dark\, Shawn rejects the stifling expectations of his upper-class upbringing\, leaving his affluent family home and disappearing into the underground queer scene in California. Ryan follows his older brother into this hidden world\, seeking to capture Shawn’s life on film and make sense of his unravelling. \n\n\n\nSet against the backdrop of a parole house\, to which Ryan was released after three years in jail\, The Range Rules is a daring\, defiant\, and darkly wondrous exploration of transgressive queer pornography\, prison culture\, twelve-step recovery\, and a search for redemption\, connection\, and compassion in spite of the invisible laws that govern our lives. \n\n\n\nDarren Greer is the author of five award-winning\, critically acclaimed novels. Still Life with June won the 2004 ReLit Award\, and was a Now Magazine’s Top 10 pick for 2005. Just Beneath My Skin won the Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award in 2015 and his novel Advocate won the Dartmouth Book Award. His short fiction\, poetry\, and journalism have appeared in journals internationally. He is also an accomplished singer‑songwriter and visual artist. He is originally from Nova Scotia but now lives in Toronto. \n\n\n\nRefreshments will be provided on-site.

SUMMARY:GENDERCRAFT Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Gender Identity Fundamentals \n\n\n\nThis module is primarily concerned with deepening understanding of the term “gender identity”. It discusses five major components of gender identity: sense of self\, community identity\, societal influences\, biology\, and time. \n\n\n\nThe module proceeds to discuss intersectionality and the ways gender interacts with other aspects of identity. There is a brief discussion of pronouns\, and the distinction between pronouns and identity. The module continues with a detailed examination of cisgender privilege\, to ground the theoretical discussion and prepare participants to explore the scenarios in Module II.  \n\n\n\nGender Identity Fundamentals concludes by addressing current political context for trans people internationally and nationally\, and possible actions.

With a diet of trash\, cigarettes\, and naive optimism this pigeon is ready for anything…except their first real audience. Through clown\, dance\, and completely true pigeon facts\, Colum will have you laughing your tail feathers off.  \n\n\n\nAlthough a story about a bird\, A Sexy Pigeon Show has a very human heart.

SUMMARY:Book Brigade
DESCRIPTION:We’re moving and we need your help! Join our volunteer book brigade and help us move our books from our current shop to our new shop. \n\n\n\nStarting at 1131 Wellington Street West\, we’ll form a human chain down the sidewalk to 1109 Wellington Street West. We’ll pass the books down the chain\, 1-2 books at a time\, and together\, we’ll move a bookstore worth of books — a true testament to the power of community! \n\n\n\nWhen we’re finished moving books\, stop in to the new location to celebrate what we’ve accomplished and get a sneak peek of what we have in store for you when we open later that week. \n\n\n\nWe estimate that we’ll need about 75 people to make this work. While your RSVP isn’t required (we’re happy for anyone to drop in!)\, it does help us plan whether we will have enough people.
