Churchmouse Books Autumn Charity Book Sale

Autumn is just around the corner so it’s time to stock up on books for quiet fall evenings—and help do some good along the way—at the Churchmouse Books’ Summer Autumn Sale, where we’re celebrating Indigenous Writers, History and Culture. Open from 10am to 2pm, September 14th. You’ll find the usual wide collection of pre-owned books in excellent condition—thousands and thousands of them, on the shelves, on tables, and in the pews, each with its own story to tell—plus a wide selection of previously-enjoyed puzzles of all kinds. You can also participate in a silent auction of some particularly valuable books in our collection. And it doesn’t end there! Check out art cards and more by local Indigenous artists; Learn how to support any of several local Indigenous projects; Enjoy smoked salmon sandwiches and hot dogs, as well as hot and cold beverages. So, come and browse the books and enjoy the community. Bring your friends. Bring your children. Bring the dog or cat. Admission is free. Donations of even more books are welcome! The Churchmouse Bookshop—which is also open every Saturday, 10am - 1pm—receives used books in great condition from the Greater Victoria community and gives them out to new owners in return for cash donations in support of St. Mary’s charity efforts and partners. Proceeds from this special sale will support the Victoria Native Friendship Centre as well as our ongoing partners: the Food Bank at St. John the Divine, on Quadra and Mason, plus Threshold Housing Society and Our Place Society.
