Starting today, you can get a $10 discount voucher at 11 participating stores, including:
- On the Same Page Books, Sydney
- Baintons Tannery/Mad Hatter Books, Annapolis Royal
- The Inside Story, Greenwood
- Good Dog Books, Bridgewater
- Lunenburg Bound, Lunenburg
- Block Shop Books, Lunenburg

The province says the stores will identify which books are eligible.
A total of 4,000 vouchers are available, and the pilot project runs until February 28th.
The province says Nova Scotia is renowned for its storytellers, and these discounts will help people discover a new favourite local author.
