Our special order/hold shelves are full of great books waiting to be picked up 📚

Did you know it doesn't cost any extra for us to order in a book?
We may not be as fast as the big guys, but a little patience goes a long way! 🙏

PLEASE NOTE: When your book arrives, we'll call, email or text (based on your preference), generously hold it for 3 MONTHS, shoot you a final 24hr courtesy call, then pop it back on the shelf for someone else to enjoy 🤓

Local author Dave Town dropped by the other day with his newest book!

Gold Fever uncovers Orillia's experience with the Klondike gold rush, and how at least 15 local men set off on the adventure of a lifetime to "get-rich-quick" in the late 1800's 🪙
