Spotlight on WGC Business Member:
How long have you been in business?
I’ve run The Bookstore in the Town of Durham for a little over 10 years
What makes your business stand out?
I’d like to think great service! I always greet people as soon as they come in, and I pretty much know where every book is in the store so I can help if someone is looking for something specific. The Bookstore has close to 100,000 books, over 2,000 comics, crystals & healing stones, jewelry, DVDs, CDs, memorabilia, Tarot Cards, …there’s always something new to see and The Bookstore has been a Better Business Bureau business for the past 2 years!
What do you enjoy most about serving "Your Community" and area?
I enjoy helping people. I belong to a few of the non-profit organizations in town. I’m a bit internet—and tech—savvy, so I help quite a few people figure out their cellphones, laptops, emails, and some electronics. I enjoy playing with graphic designs so I’ve been known to make up posters and flyers (just charging for the printing). And I help out with some Social Media.

The Bookstore has a great Loyalty & Rewards program where you can save on your in store purchases and, at times, even receive a gift card. Plus you always save 25% on your in store book purchase! If you can’t find an item in store, I can order it for you, I do charge a small fee for that. The Bookstore does have a Trade-In Policy which can be found on our website: thebookstore.ca/trade-policy
