Rotary Club of Chilliwack set to host 40th annual week-long book sale

Oct 20, 2024 | 3:37 PM

CHILLIWACK – A week-long book sale, now in its 40th year in Chilliwack, is set to start on the last Sunday in October.

The Rotary Club of Chilliwack’s annual sale will feature not only thousands of high-quality recycled books but also DVDs, records, comic books, and puzzles.

The event relies on community donations, and contributors still have time to drop off their no-longer-needed reading materials at the Rotary Service Building, located at 44880 Wolfe Road.

Volunteers can assist those who need books unloaded from a vehicle during the sorting period: Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
