Founded by literature lovers in 1994, Books on Beechwood has become the go-to place for patrons to find their next read.

The store’s walls are lined with a colourful array of books of every genre and style. Even those who come into the store not expecting to find anything will often exit the doors with a book or two in hand.

“I think my favourite part is introducing people to books they may not know about,” said Hilary Porter, the store’s manager. “When they come in not sure what they’re looking for and you can give them something they wouldn’t have come across any other way.”

September marks the 30-year anniversary of Books on Beechwood. The store is planning on holding a celebration on the 21st, filled with giveaways, prizes and other fun things to honour the long-time Vanier institution.
