Recent media reports about the resurgence of the independent bookstore are not exaggerated, witness the flurry of activity surrounding business at Booklovers’ Gourmet, 72 E. Main St., Webster.

Fresh off a Scrabble tournament that had participants exchanging in the age-old banter as to whether a word in play is indeed a legitimate move comes news from Owner Deb Horan of a photography exhibit that will take place soon.

“Sisters Call & Respond—To Nature and To Each Other,” featuring the work of Christine M. Croteau and Elizabeth Crouteau-Kallestad, will be on display and for sale throughout the month of September.

Viewing hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Wednesday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

A public meet and greet with the artists is scheduled for Saturday, September 10th from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Attendees will be eligible to win a set of photos through a raffle.

This exhibit was created to show how art can be used as a means of getting close, in human relationships and in relationships in the natural world. In a largely fragmented world, art and nature can be connectors and community builders.

Sisters, Ms. Croteau and Ms. Crouteau-Kallestad are both photographers and naturalists. They are coming together for this call-and-respond exhibit.
