Bowen BookFest taking indefinite pause

Friends of the Library continue search for storage space
BookFest 1 print
The annual BookFest sale will not be taking place in 2025.

Friends of the Bowen Island Library Society are sad to announce that we will be unable to accept any book donations for the upcoming year due to lack of storage space for our boxed books.

What does this mean for you?

You will need to donate your books at other venues – Knick Nack Nook has limited space (check with them first before bringing in donations) or off-island charity organizations.

This also means that there will be no book sales in 2025.

Books are offered for sale in the Mini Book Store in the Bowen Public Library foyer. We will continue to stock the shelves until we exhaust our supply of books. At that time, we may be again asking for donations of novels and childrens books. Check the Library website for details of future donation days.

In the meantime, we continue to search for storage space. Our needs are minimal, we are seeking approximately 150 square feet, a dry space with some heat, and a level entry. Should you have any space available, please reach out to myself at [email protected]

Thank you for your support over the many years, and hopefully one day we will again be able to provide the annual “BookFest” sale!
