Patrons are kindly asked to keep pets at home so that everyone can enjoy the event, and to not bring donations on the day of the sale.

Rotary relies on the community of Chilliwack for donations of reading materials. Throughout the year, a dedicated team of Rotarians, friends and community members sort the donated books. Rotary members say are very thankful for the generosity of the Chilliwack community.

Cash, debit or credit are all gladly accepted, but please don’t bring cheques or expect to use e-transfers at the book sale.
