Join us for the 29th annual Times Colonist Book Sale!! 🎉🎉
The sale takes place at 1952 Quadra St.
Saturday May 2 from 9:00am -7:00 pm
Sunday May 3 from 9:00am - 5:00pm
The day usually starts off with a lineup around the block, so be prepared to be patient - grab a coffee, bring friends, and meet new people!
Books cost $4 for hardcovers and $2 for softcovers and children’s books. Payment is by cash, debit, MasterCard, Visa or American Express.
Pay parking is available in the lot that serves the curling club and Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre. There is free (2 hr) parking along Quadra Street, but watch out for residential-parking-only signs on some side streets.
Don't forget to wear comfy shoes and bring bags for your books. There will be a limited number of bags and many boxes available at the event.
All proceeds support the Times Colonist Literacy Society which distributes funds to school libraries and literacy organizations across Vancouver Island. Learn more at TCReads.ca
Looking forward to seeing you there!
