not an excellent library.”

SALE INFORMATION >>
The Sale
June is the perfect time to stock up on music, movies and reading material for the Summer, Fall and Winter to come.
To Donate
This sale owes its success to the generous people who donate their gently used books and other materials each year.
After the Sale
Books that do not sell are sorted and donated once again to local charities, organizations and provincial jails.
“Books are everywhere; and always the same sense of adventure fills us.
Second-hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.”
– Virginia Woolf in Street Haunting
