Theres no telling what youll find on our shelves. From very old to brand new and a myriad of genres. We try not to judge a book by its cover and all that, but dont you just love this 1965 typography? #animalbooks #arcticanimals #lettering #typography #oldbooks #gentlyused #booksforsalebydonation #readmore

All the volunteers miss hugging stacks of books like this but were so happy to be back open to the public and watch patrons scour the shelves while staying physically distanced. #prepandemic #hugabook #physicallydistanced #pandemicreading #volunteerrun #paulassmile #booklover #usedbooks #bookworm #bookishlife #bookwoman #readingforpleasure #readingisfundamental

Need a book to read while spending more time at home? The Friends of the Kimberley Public Library Used Book Store has lots of used books. The books have been untouched for several weeks and have been safely packaged in plastic. You can come down to the front of the Used Book Store and select a book or two. The books are free, or you can make a donation to the Friends when we are able to open the store again. As always, your donations are appreciated as they fund projects at... the Kimberley Public Library. We unfortunately cannot take donations of used books at this time.
E-Resources are available through the Kimberley Public Library website. And I think you can phone them if you have any issues with trying to get eResources. https://kimberley.bc.libraries.coop/
Free eBooks! https://www.gutenberg.org/
Message from our president: store to close indefinitely. "for the health and safety of our patrons and volunteers we will be closing the Bookstore after tomorrow, March 18, until further notice. We will do our best to track the spread of the Covid-19 virus and will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so. Thank you for all your support. The Bookstore could not exist without you. Please stay safe and well in these uncertain times."
If youre preparing for your self quarantine and need a stack of books we will be staying open our regular hours until further notice. However we will not be accepting book drop offs at this time. #selfquarantine #books #readingtime #readingbreak #bookstack #bookstagram #booksonhope #reading

Anne Lamott: A free public library is a revolutionary notion, and when people dont have free access to books, then communities are like radios without batteries. The Friends of the Kimberley Library used Bookstore was created with the motivation of donating to the Kimberley public library. We exist and continue our work with the intention of helping our public library financially by filling the gaps in their budget allowing for more computers, more comfortable seating and ...a more welcoming environment for everyone in the community. #annelamott #quote #publiclibrary #kimberleypubliclibrary #bookstagram #books #bookaddict #greatreads #reading #literacy #kimberleybc #librarylove #librarysareawesome @ Kimberley Public Library
