Book Fair

Bookmart @ Brown & Co.
Support our Libraries!
The Saltus Association will be holding our 5th Annual Book Fair at the Bookmart at Brown & Co. from Friday, November 30th to Sunday, December 2nd.
The Book Fair helps to restock the three Saltus libraries with books that the students and parents request and the library doesn’t have. 
If you donate a book, you will receive a 20% discount on the rest of your Bookmart purchase, as well as 15% in Brown & Co. (exclusions apply).
As a bonus - for each book you buy, you will also be entered into a raffle to win a $50 Brown & Co. gift card. So, 5 books = 5 raffle tickets etc!

We are thrilled to announce that for the first time, there will be 3 local authors at the Bookmart on Saturday, December 1st. Nadia Aguiar, Florenz Webbe Maxwell and Elizabeth Mulderig will be signing books between 12pm and 3pm. See below for their Bios.

It’s a great opportunity to get ahead on your Christmas shopping and support our local authors and school libraries at the same time!

We hope to see you and your children there!

Kind regards,
The Saltus Association
