What does being calm look like in a colour? How can you paint joy without drawing a smile? From designing a book cover to buying a new purse—emotions lead our colour selection. Sometimes a palette is more than just an aesthetic; it’s the feeling that it brings us.  Let’s explore how colour palettes don’t just look good—but also feel good.

Sun’s out, books out. While some of us are busy choosing between a beach day or a boardwalk adventure, the Youth Ambassadors of Digitally Lit Our Stories Matter have already delved into this summer's most captivating Nova Scotia reads. With fantasy worlds that beat the July heat to detective stories, they have their bookmarks in the right places. 

There’s a certain essence about summer that invites readers to vanish—not as a whole, just enough to let five books slip into your suitcase alongside a bottle of sunscreen. Enough to make your current read a travel companion for adventures and unexpected airport delays. 

Let’s be honest. Summer is for three things: reading, reading, and—oh wait—there’s just more reading. But when the sun’s out and your to-be-read pile looks like a delicious buffet, there’s only one thing on your to-do list. Whether you're under a tree annotating a book or protecting your paperback from the poolside sprinkles, summer reading is a lifestyle, and this is how you do it right. 

Today is July 30th, which means it is officially Paperback Book Day. If you enjoy reading, then you must know the importance of paperbacks.
