The fall reading series is going well this year: maybe a little too
well. If you had hopes of getting to see Margaret Atwood, Anne Michaels,
or Marnie Woodrow this November 20th at the National Library, I afraid
all tickets have been sold. In addition, the Governor General's Literary
Awards evening, November 13th, at the National Library has also been
sold out. 

However, if you would like an autographed copy by any of these authors,
for say Christmas, a gift, or for yourself, we are taking requests.
Personalised (your credit card number is needed) inscriptions are
possible, but not guaranteed. 

The winners of the Governor General's Literary Awards will be announced
on Tuesday November 12th in Toronto. The winners will be in Ottawa the
next day.
