Yesterday was BC Book Day at the British Columbia Legislature in Victoria, BC. Publishers, Members of the Legislative Assembly, and Members of Parliament gathered in the Legislature Rotunda. Talonbooks was proud to be there!

If you were in the Legislature Rotunda, you might have dropped by the Talonbooks booth …
And you might have seen the Queen …
One parliamentary intern certainly enjoyed the day! @ChardayeB tweeted her glee:
BC Book Day might be the best day of the year

Below, the Honourable Judith Guichon, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, and Madam Speaker of the BC Legislature, Linda Reid, talk about adopting Mend the Living for the BC Parliamentary Book Club.
We hope they do!
Even the Magazines Association of BC was in the house, and its Twitter feed shared a shot of Talon publisher and ABPBC president Kevin Williams accepting the BC Book Day proclamation.
