North Perth, ON – September 15, 2026 - With all five Perth County Information Network (PCIN) libraries calling on their patrons and community to vote, “Liberty Street” by Heather Marshall was chosen as the top 2026 PC Reads title. Staff at St Marys, Stratford, Perth East, West Perth and North Perth Public Libraries were thrilled with the results and now are calling on their communities to join in. 

“Liberty Street” is a historical fiction novel done differently! The story takes you on a journey of 1960’s harrowing local history in a women's prison. This novel appeals to not only historical fiction readers, but general fiction, non-fiction, and local historians. Heather Marshall is based out of Huron County, making her local tie-ins authentic and connecting the reader to the story with ease.
