ABOUT the Bookstore

​The SHAVA Bookstore has now been in operation since September 6, 2022.  SHAVA volunteers have worked tirelessly to bring this dream to fruition. The support of St. Albert and its residents by way of book donations have been overwhelming! From the day the doors opened, customer comments have been extremely encouraging, with many, many visitors expressing how happy they are to see the bookstore operating again. In the first 3 weeks alone over 2,500 books, puzzles, or game were sold. The shelves remain well stocked from the continuing donations, and the work area at the back of the store is near overflowing. SHAVA expresses their gratitude to all the hospital staff who have contributed books to the store and/or have visited the store to find their next good read!!
Staff members of the Sturgeon Community Hospital held a book drive to help support this bookstore; Karen Maier kindly dropped off these donations at the bookstore on November 4, 2022 where it was graciously accepted by Jocelyne Durocher and Halina Boisvert.
