Thanks for the Scotiabank Giller Prize group which has donated a complete set of the 2017 short listed books to the Franklin Street Little Free Library! These books can be enjoyed by our community and will be greatly appreciated!
Please note that I am hoping to share these with as many neighbours as possible so have added a note to the front requesting that these are returned once you are finished reading so that others can read them! Please add your name to the inside cover and we can see how many of our neighbours are able to enjoy he books!
In the library are:
- Bellevue Square by Michael Redhill – the winner of the 2017 Giller Prize
- I am a Truck by Michelle Winters
- Minds of Winter by Ed O’Loughlin
- Transit by Rachel Cusk
- Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson
I have read and enjoyed my own copies of the 4 of the books except for Minds of Winter (which I am working on) and they are a treat to read. They are a diverse collection of literature, thought provoking and will remain in your mind once the book is returned.
For more information on each book and the authors click on the links above and also see the post on the Between the Pages Giller event which was held in Toronto in early November.
Thanks again Scotiabank Giller Prize Group for this generous donation!!!
How lovely! I hope lots of people take the opportunity to read them!

me too! i have been a bit surprised that there are still 4/5 in the library, i thought they would be snapped up quick. i did add a note for people to pls return these ones so more people can read them. i usually don’t worry about it but hoping they will sign their names in the cover so i can thank ScotiaBank again and let them know how many are enjoying them!

That’s a good idea! I have to ask… which one has been taken?

Transit – which other than Minds of Winter which I have not read yet, was my least favourite
