Special Events

April 23 is Earth Day. We are featuring a display of green books on important environmental and social issues published by Harper Collins. These titles have been printed on 100% post-consumer paper. They deserve your consideration. Please drop by during the month to see these and other related books featured on the bookshelf at the front of the store. Some of the titles are reviewed in the adult book section of this website.

Friday, April 23, from 7:30-9:00 pm
Gulliver’s BookSwap
BookSwap has been cancelled and will be rescheduled.

Celebrate Earth Day by sharing one of your favourite books, and finding a new favourite.
On Friday, April 23, from 7:30-9:00 pm, Gulliver’s will be open in the evening for a special private party, to which you are invited.
Each person will bring a favourite book to swap. Refreshments will be served. Attendees will assemble into small groups to sample gourmet treats, and chat about their books for 20-30 minutes;  then the participants will move to different  groups  to repeat the process. Everyone gets to talk about the book he/she has brought.  The evening concludes with the book swap, during which one book may be “stolen” from the first person to choose, but to ensure that  everyone leaves with a book they will enjoy,  Gulliver’s will provide some  extra books, as well as discount coupons for use in the store.
Participants must register in advance by calling 474-7335 or emailing mail@gulliversbookstore.com.
Cost is $10. Limited to 30 guests.  Register soon.

 

Gulliver’s recently had a grand celebration of 23 years in business, combined with the annual Independents’ Day, which draws attention to the value that locally owned independent businesses add to their communities.

This year we celebrated with not only other bookstores across Canada, but joined with our Downtown neighbours to widen the event. We had Anthony Rota, Monique Smith, and Vic Fedeli here to cut the cake and indicate their support for independent businesses locally, provincially, and nationally.
The local authors who attended were interviewed by the media. Sixty people enjoyed cake and savings on Canadian books. And the party went on all day. Thanks again to all our friends who attended.
