  • The annual Times Colonist Book Sale is one of the most popular events of the year. It is a can’t-miss weekend for book lovers.

  • All proceeds from the sale go to the Times Colonist Literacy Society, a charitable organization that is supported by the Times Colonist.
  • The society distributes money to school libraries and literacy organizations.

THE TIMES COLONIST LITERACY SOCIETY

Literacy is the foundation for lifelong learning and education, and we support school libraries and literacy organizations through Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. The Times Colonist started raising money for literacy work with a small book sale in 1998, and today that work is carried on by the Times Colonist Literacy Society.
