Once again, a successful Used Book Sale was held on the Thanksgiving weekend, allowing enthusiastic buyers to stock up on their winter reading. Big thanks go out to Fresh St. Market for letting us go ahead and have the sale in front of the store in Marketplace as usual—in spite of the construction. We cannot do it without you!

As always, we are extremely grateful to Nesters Market, TD Canada Trust and Creekside Market for being book collection depots. Whistlerites kindly donated hundreds and hundreds of books as usual—and that meant there were plenty of choices for everyone at the sale. Thank you so much!

Loyal volunteers sorted, sold, and transported books, and set up and took down in record time. Thank you so very much for being a part of it all. Buyers were very generous and we raised $3,297.76 in total, which was passed on to the Howe Sound Women's Centre. Thank you everyone and happy reading!
