Like most Saturdays, I was at Papervale Books yesterday, and it was awesome to see the Platzl so busy. Patios were full, kids were running around, and Summit Snacks is open again! I saw so many people eating ice cream. Thank you to everyone who finished their cones before shopping for books.

It felt like summer.

All we needed was some music at the gazebo, and it would have been perfect.

Speaking of summer, music, and being outside… if you have a great backyard that you’d like to share with the community, One Light Concerts is looking for venues for this summer. Message them on Instagram to get involved.

Don’t forget about moms this week - we wouldn’t be here without them.

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10.

If you need gift ideas, try chocolate, flowers, books, coffee, dinner - just take a walk around the Platzl, you’ll find something for her.

Anyways, may the fourth be with you while you plan your week.

I’m sure most of you aren’t stoked on what you woke up to this morning. But fear not, it looks like we’ll be back up to double digits this week.

Before we get to the list, I want to mention a few things.

So this week, let's be extra kind to the awesome place we all call home - Kimberley, BC, Canada, Earth.

We only have the one.

Let’s be conscious of our actions this week (and the rest of our weeks).

Walk, run, or bike instead of driving.

Reduce packaging waste by shopping at Travelling Top-Ups Mobile Refillery or Full-Fill Zero Waste Market.

Before tossing something in the trash, see if you can recycle it at the transfer station (maybe you’ll get a lollipop too).

Spend as much time as you can outside. You’ll feel better.

We’re spoiled here, surrounded by so much nature and easy access to it.

Go for a walk or a ride in the woods.

Head to your favourite spot and just sit and look at it all.

Breathe it in, touch it, heck, get crazy and go barefoot in the dirt and feel it in your body.

In the evening, turn your devices off. Instead of your screens, go stare at the stars.

Say thank you to the earth for all that it’s given to us.

I was at the bookshop yesterday, so I didn’t make it up to the Spring Splash. But from what I heard, it was a full house up there, and the weather couldn’t have been better for crossing open water on one or two planks.

Speaking of planks, tomorrow, Monday, is your last chance for skiing or snowboarding at KAR - April 6th marks the end of the winter season. So get your last turns in while you can.

While we’re on the topic of closures, did you hear the Visitor Information Centre is closing at the end of the month? They’re reaching out to the community for input as they “map out Tourism Kimberley’s Strategic Plan for the next five years.” Take the survey here - they're asking, might as well tell them.

Anyway, let’s get to the real reason you’re here…

Papervale Books’ Featured Read

The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton

Before spring break hits, pick up The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton. It’s not a destination guide - it’s about the psychology of why we’re drawn to new places and why reality so often disappoints. Drawing on thinkers like Van Gogh and Wordsworth, de Botton explores everything from the pleasure of anticipation to finding beauty in airport terminals. Perfect for anyone who’s ever wondered why their carefully planned vacation didn’t deliver the transformation they expected.

Papervale Books’ Featured Read

Bored by Feliita Sala

If your kid loves saying “I’m SO bored” or “that’s SO boring”, then grab Bored by Felicita Sala. It’s a story about Rita, who is bored out of her mind (or maybe into it?) until her imagination finally kicks in and takes her on the wildest adventure - all without leaving her room. By dinner time, she’s suddenly too busy to come eat. It’s a perfect reminder that boredom isn’t something to fix immediately - it’s where creativity begins. (It’s hard to be bored here, when you’re subscribed to Hey Kimberley, but maybe let the kids experience it anyway.)

Embrace boredom at Papervale Books.

Northern Bull by Michelle Swallow

Need a laugh this winter? Northern Bull delivers: one freezing day in Yellowknife, one missing moose head, and a cast of small-town characters that'll have you laughing out loud. Michelle Swallow's debut has been compared to Schitt's Creek for good reason - it's sharp, big-hearted, and the kind of feel-good read winter was made for.
