Readers snap up hundreds of books at annual arts council fundraiser

Giant Book Sale at the Athletic Hall is largest of the year for Port Alberni

The Alberni Valley arts council's Giant Book Sale was a real page turner this year.

The two-day fundraiser, held May 9–10 at the Alberni Athletic Hall, was well attended and afforded an all-inclusive selection of tomes for even the most discerning of readers.

New this year were local writers that had their books on sale; there were also readings done by authors.  

Families made this a part of the Mother’s Day celebration and brought their children along.
