The Free To Read Book Sale has finished for another year! We sold over 3500 books and provided more than 1000 free books to local causes, like Books For Inmates and the Children’s Reading Room.

The Free to Read Book Sale supports the Books for Inmates Program, a program that supports literacy programs in correctional facilities across South-Western Ontario. The Free to Read Sale has provided thousands of books and funding to this program since its inception in 2022.
We chose April 26th as it is the Saturday that falls closest to the UNESCO World Book Day, April 23. World Book Day is an annual event that celebrates the joy of reading and books.
If you are interested in helping out with collection, sorting, or the book sale, please contact John Dennis at director@guelphtoollibrary.org for more information.
