Powell River, British Columbia
Welcome in.
Mind the creaky floorboard. Stay as long as you like.
Hear Steve welcome you
Your host's real voice. It starts when you choose “Step inside.” You can pause, mute, or replay it.
Steve's greeting is ready.
Read Steve's full welcome
Well, hello there. Come on in. I'm Steven Gabriel Puglia, and this is my bookstore. Let me show you around. We have Italia's Room, and we have Taylor's Room. Over here we have the Poetry Room, and we have the Reading Room. You do not have to buy anything to be here. You're welcome to walk around, you're welcome to read a book, and you're more than welcome to sit down and think. And if you get something out of being here, then that's exactly why I built this place. For someone to come in and put what they're carrying down for a while. So please, have a look around. Thank you so much for coming. Please come back again, and bring a friend. Have a great day.
The light that stays
Seven lights for Italia.
One light for each month Steve's daughter lived. Her story has a place here, always.
Touch a light. Each one remembers a month of Italia's life.
Touch a light to remember with us.
