Please Note. Effective Tuesday February 21, 2023, the Friends Bookstore will be open until 5 o’clock weekdays and 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday – the store is closed on Sunday.
New donations of material have continued to be received so the store has a wonderful inventory of children’s books, new release novels, music and DVD movies, all bargain priced.
A new addition to the Friends of the London Library is our on-line book store where we list selected books that you can reserve for in-store collection and payment. Please note that this service is temporarily closed and notification to resume the service will be posted here and on our social media (Twitter and Facebook) in due course.
We can collect donations of books, CD’s, DVD’s and other saleable material. Should you wish to make a donation of materials please leave us a voicemail at 519-661-2448 and one of our volunteers will contact you.
Managed and operated by Friends of the Library volunteers, The Friends Book Store sells new and gently used books, CDs, DVDs, audio books and more. There are hundreds of different items to choose from, including fiction, non-fiction and children’s materials. New inventory arrives weekly and every month.
