Chilliwack – The annual Chilliwack Rotary 2024 Indoor Book Sale: Oct 27 – Nov 2 at Heritage Park.
Since 1984, the Rotary Club of Chilliwack has held their annual book sale to raise funds for community and international projects. In 2020, they began having a one-day outdoor book sale in the summer, to supplement the week-long book sale in the fall.
Rotary relies on the community of Chilliwack for their donations of reading materials. Throughout the year, a dedicated team of Rotarians, friends and community members sort the donated books. Rotary are very thankful for the generosity of the Chilliwack community.
The sale is cash, debit or credit only. They are unable to accept cheques or electronic transfers. American cash is accepted at par.
