McNally Robinson: For a complete list of events and readings taking place at McNally Robinson Booksellers, go to www.mcnallyrobinson.com/saskatoon_events. They have just too much going on for it all to get entered into our online calendar.
Saskatoon Public Library: we have the same problem with them-- just too much going on for us to keep up with. Check their website at www.saskatoonlibrary.ca, and click on Library News.
