July 2018
We'll be at local markets through the summer.
Please look for us at the Port Coquitlam Farmer's Market and the Market at Brewer's Row in Port Moody at Rocky Point (at the train museum - take the Port Moody Shoreline Shuttle!) We loved bringing books to their readers last summer and we can't wait to hang out with you all at these grassroots and community based events, where shopping local in fun and festive!
Please check out our events page for our updated event listings this summer too! Local Artist/Painter Martin Sollanych is in the gallery, Tri-City Poetry Slam/Open Mic continues, and there will be more author readings too! Check back often for updates!
May 2018
Thank you Port Coquitlam!
Did you know that our very first day to sell books was at last year’s Biz Alley at the weekend May Day events? We have come a long way since our little table with our small selection of gathered books.
To celebrate and offer a big Thank You to our Port Coquitlam (and Tri-Cities, of course!) customers, all used books are 10% off this weekend, Saturday May 12th and Sunday May 13th.
Come on in before or after the parade & picnic and other fabulous Port Coquitlam May Day festivities.
We changed our hours slightly, in order to be responsive to your requests and also to do a bit of book seller self-care. We are still open 7 days a week, so come on in to find your next book love!
Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday 10am-6pm
Thursday, Friday 10am-7pm
Sunday, Monday 11am-4pm
Also, we extended our Sunday/Monday Buy-One-Get-One 50%/25% through the month of May! Yay cheap books!
