Book Fair season is officially underway, and we’re opening the doors for our next collection night.
6:30 – 8:00 pm · Queen Juliana Hall, 360 Springfield Road.
This year marks the 65th Rockcliffe Park Book Fair — six and a half decades of books finding new homes and a community that keeps showing up. Every book that comes through our doors helps fund classroom resources, field trips, and programming at RPPS, as well as outreach to other Ottawa public schools.
What we accept
We take far more than children’s books. Bring us:
- Fiction and non-fiction, hardcover and paperback
- Children’s and young adult books
- Cookbooks, art and photography books, philosophy and history
- CDs and vinyl records
If it has pages or grooves and someone would enjoy it again, we’d love to see it. More of what we accept read here.
How drop-off works
Pull up, and a volunteer will help you unload. Banana boxes are our unofficial mascot — if you have your donation sorted into boxes or bags you can leave with us, it speeds things up enormously. No need to sort by category; that’s what our sorting nights are for.
Have a large donation?
If you’re clearing a whole collection or an estate and can’t manage a drop-off, email us at donations.rppsbookfair@gmail.com and we’ll make arrangements.
More collection nights to come
September 9 is our next scheduled night, not our last. We’ll announce additional dates here and on Instagram as soon as they’re confirmed.
Want to be part of it? Sorting and pricing nights are the heart of the operation and one of the friendliest volunteer shifts you’ll find. Sign up at rockcliffeparkbookfair.com/volunteer
See you Wednesday 💛
