Calling all Whistler book lovers, new readers, young readers and seasoned readers!
We have all missed the semi-annual, used book sale and many of you asked what you could do with all the books you have accumulated during these “Times of Covid?” Well, ta da, welcome to the Virtual Used Book Sale!
Many thanks go out to all of you who have overwhelmed us with your donations of used books—the bins at the library have been emptied daily by our amazing team of volunteers and are now being sorted and “bagged”—paper bags only—into bags of 15 books for $15.
The categories are divided.
Children's books will be sorted into age groups: Birth to five years old, six to 12 years old, and 13 to 16 years old.
Adults will get a miscellany of 15 books that include a cookbook, a biography and fiction. All books are in good condition and current—no dog-eared or chewed ancients or school texts!
Please go to the book sale ad in Pique to access the QR code to order your bag of books, or you can find posters on most of the mailboxes throughout Whistler for the code.
There is an option to “donate”—so if you just can’t fit any more books into your bookshelves, think of donating to schools and homes that need them.
The bags will be available for pick up at the Whistler Public Library on May 20, 21 and 22.
You will receive full details after you have purchased your bag of books.
Happy reading and may the books be with you!
Alix Nicoll on behalf of the Friends of the Whistler Public Library
