Woodstock library director Jenn Carson said the 2023 Woodstock Reads features Powning’s A Sister’s Tale. Carson explained copies of A Sister’s Tale and the $20 tickets for the Woodstock Reads event are now available at the library and Woodstock town hall. Another one excited to see Woodstock Reads and the promotion of literacy return is Catherine Sutherland, a former Woodstock deputy mayor, councillor and the town’s representative on the library board. Sutherland said the origins of Woodstock Reads date back more than a decade. The arrival of the COVID pandemic hindered attempts to rekindle Woodstock Reads for a few more years.
