The Grand Reopening of the Lion’s Head Hospital Auxiliary Bookshop was held on 16 April 2022, with patrons being treated to homemade cookies and coffee.
The Bookstore is located on the lower level of the Anglican Church Hall at 55 Main Street, Lion’s Head. There are two access staircases to the room, an interior staircase through the Main Hall entrance and the outside stairway to the Memorial Scattering Garden which also leads to the exterior entrance of the Bookstore.
Currently the hours of operation are Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. In the summer, after the Victoria Day weekend, the bookstore will have expanded hours of operation.
Patrons are able to browse a wide selection of books in both paperback and hardcover. There is popular fiction which includes science fiction, thrillers, fantasy and adventure. Additionally, there are a variety of non-fiction books ranging in topics such as history, politics, gardening, cooking, biographies, health and self-help. There are also children’s books. A selection of music CDs and Movie DVDs are also available.
Run entirely by volunteers, all the books, CDs and DVDs are donated with proceeds of the sales going to support the Lion’s Head Hospital and healthcare on the Bruce.
