MORE ABOUT MARGARET ATWOOD
Margaret Atwood has long been a literary titan. With her 1985 novel The Handmaid’s Tale adapted into an Emmy Award-winning television series, and its sequel, The Testaments, winning the 2019 Booker Prize, Atwood’s sharp eye is more crucial—and prescient—than ever. Her latest release, Burning Questions, is a collection of more than 50 essays that aim her prodigious intellect and impish humor at our world.

Atwood is the winner of many international literary awards, including the prestigious Booker Prize, as well as the Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Book Critics Circle. In October 2019, she was presented with the Companion of Honor award by Queen Elizabeth, making Atwood only the third Canadian to receive the honor. She is the author of more than fifty volumes of poetry, children’s literature, fiction, and non-fiction; perhaps best known for her novels, which include The Edible Woman, The Robber Bride, The Blind Assassin, Oryx and Crake, and The Year of the Flood. Her non-fiction book Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth, part of the Massey Lecture series, was made into a documentary. The Oryx and Crake trilogy is being adapted into an HBO TV series by celebrated filmmaker Darren Aronofsky. Her work has been published in more than 40 languages and she is a founder of the Writers’ Trust of Canada.

About the branch

Bexley Public Library was founded in 1924 and first housed in Bexley High School, now Montrose Elementary School. The present building opened in 1929 and was designed by architects O.C. Miller and R.R. Reeves who drew upon French and Italian architecture from the 17th century for the design.

The library is located at 2411 East Main Street, at the intersection of East Main Street and Cassady Avenue. Parking is available in our parking lot on Euclaire Avenue and in front of the library on Main Street. Main Street is a No Parking Tow Zone from 4:00-6:00 p.m. weekdays.
