Two-time winner of The Libris Award (Best Bookstore in Canada) and named as a favourite by the legendary Stuart McLean, Blue Heron Books values its location in a 200-year-old building located in the busy and popular shopping area once frequented by former resident Lucy Maud Montgomery. The store is a hub for the community of Uxbridge and a bastion of friendly chaos where everyone is welcome. For over 30 years Blue Heron Books has played host to, and continues to showcase, a veritable who’s who of the world’s literary community and services over 100 local schools and 27 book clubs.

As a resident of the neighbouring hamlet of Leaskdale, Lucy Maud Montgomery holds a special place in the heart of Uxbridge residents.
