Our three annual used book sales are a major source of fundraising for our chapter. They are held in the Bay View Mall (470 Dundas St. E, Bellevillle) in the main concourse.
We appreciate donations year round of the following types of books (in good condition): paperback and hard cover novels, biographies, self help, children's books, crafts, cookbooks, and Harlequins.
Due to space limitations and unsaleability, we cannot accept the following: magazines, textbooks, encyclopedias, Readers Digest condensed books, and any books in mouldy, tattered condition.
In addition to our annual booksales, we also have a wide selection of books for sale year round in our office. The selection changes daily - so come often!
