What does Galiano Island do?

We invite you to join us inside for a read. Welcome to Galiano Island Books, the beloved independent bookstore serving the beautiful island of Galiano and soon the vibrant city of Vancouver. Our friendly and hospitable staff wants to share our passion for books with you. Please step inside and browse our 25,000 plus titles. Even as we continue to grow and cater to a wide-range of tastes, we remain a community-minded bookstore and never lose sight of our local authors. Our fascination with the high-quality Canadian publications that grow right in our own backyard has led us to "hand-pick" the best titles—and bring them directly to you! Our friendly, professional staff can turn anyone onto literature. Just tell us your interests and we'll help you find something you'll love. We have a wide range of genres ranging from local favourites, an extensive children's section, Canadian literature, science & nature, fiction books, non-fiction books, and more. We also have gifts and gift certificates and we host author events. If you can't come in for a visit, you are invited to visit our virtual store. There's a world of discovery waiting for you just inside our doors. We can't wait to see you.
