A Port Coquitlam bookstore is participating in a Metro Vancouver used bookstore crawl this weekend.
Western Sky Books, winner of this year’s Tri-City News A-List awards for favourite new business and favourite bookstore, is one of seven independent used bookstores on the crawl.
“Several used bookstores opened in the last year: two storefronts, a mobile book truck, and two stores were taken over by new owners,” said Western Sky’s Tamara Gorin in a press release. “Each store is unique and serves their local community by filling a specific niche, providing a different bookstore experience.
“We’re holding the crawl to encourage that delightful bookstore spirit and get the word out that bookstores are here to stay.”
Customers can pick up their used bookstore crawl passport at the first store they visit on Saturday and Sunday to be eligible for prize draws.
