Highlights include pages from the first handwritten draft of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, letters from Lucy Maud Montgomery and E. Pauline Johnson, Leonard Cohen’s notebooks, and corrected galley proofs from Robertson Davies’ Fifth Business.

Admission to the exhibit is free Monday through Friday until May 1. Library hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with extended hours till 8 p.m. on Thursdays.
