Attention book lovers – mark your calendars! Our sixth annual ‘Toonie Book Sale’ is coming soon, in support of The Community Ascent Network.
There are hundreds of nearly new books, including contemporary fiction, mystery, romance, and non-fiction, both hardcover and paperback, available for a donation of just one ‘toonie’ each. This popular event is a great opportunity to stock up for your summer reading, while supporting a worthy cause!
All proceeds from this sale will go towards providing education and other opportunities for the youth of Pinàn, Ecuador. Community Ascent Network is a registered Canadian charity founded by local resident Simon Cretien, who has helped this remote Indigenous community fulfill their dream of high school education for their children.
CAN is now funding post-secondary education and creating community employment opportunities. You can learn more about this project by going to their website at www.communityascent.com.
Do you have books you’d like to contribute to this cause? We’re still accepting book donations – contemporary, classics, children’s – as long as they’re in very good condition. Books can be dropped off at the address above any time before Thursday, May 22nd.
The sale will be held indoors, rain or shine. Come and browse, we look forward to seeing you on May 24th!
