Dear readers,
We have some sad news to share with you. After a lot of consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close Westboro Books.
While we are not able to keep the store open going forward, we want to take this opportunity to thank you for contributing to this wonderful community. Shilhav’s goal opening Westboro Books was to create a space where passionate readers could gather. Thank you Westboro, for welcoming us into this vibrant community. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the store, showed up to our events, participated in our clubs and workshops, and shared their love of literature with us.
Now for the details:
- The store will be closing for good on March 10th.
- Starting today (Saturday, February 21st) all of our inventory will be 50% off (excluding magazines and books by local authors on consignment)
- If you have already purchased or received a gift card, you can use it to make an online order with us until April 31st. Shop our website, or contact us by email to place special orders. After March 10th, books ordered with gift cards will be delivered (within Ottawa).
- If you have placed an order with us but it hasn’t arrived yet, don’t worry! If it hasn’t arrived by March 10th, we will deliver it to you (within Ottawa).
We hope you can stop by over the next few weeks to shop our sale and say goodbye. We’re going to miss you!
