Chilliwack Rotary book sale draws bargain hunters, book lovers alike

CHILLIWACK — Chilliwack residents know a good deal when they see one, especially when proceeds benefit exemplary and worthwhile programs right here in the Chilliwack community.

While precipitation appeared ominous early Saturday morning, rain never materialized as thousands of bargain hunters and book lovers converged on the Rotary facility on Wolfe Road for the Rotary one-day book sale under cloudy skies and cool temperatures.

Seniors, families, teens, and bibliophiles alike found it hard to resist the allure of bargains at a time when just about everything has increased in price.

Dozens of Rotary volunteers arrived at least three hours before the book sale began at 10 a.m. to set up tables and tents and deliver a cornucopia of books, CDs, albums, DVDs, comic books, children’s and teen selections, and book sets to eager patrons.
