Guildford Town Centre in Surrey, British Columbia, is hosting a month-long pop-up event called ‘The Book Corner’ starting August 20. The installation, located in the Centre Court North area, features approximately 1,000 titles across various genres, including children’s, young adult, and adult fiction.

All proceeds from book and merchandise sales are designated for literacy initiatives via Surrey Libraries and the Surrey Youth Grants program, managed by the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society. Mall marketing manager Kiran Deol stated the pop-up aims to address the absence of a permanent book retailer at the shopping centre. The event is scheduled to run daily until September 20.
