Our Purpose

We help Library and Archives Canada to celebrate the past, honour the present and ensure the future of Canada's remarkable documentary heritage.

News release

The Friends of Library and Archives Canada's own bookstore — the Cubby.

Book sales — we will make our gently used books available to the public via the Cubby, our small bookstore in the Friends office area.

After being closed for two years due to the pandemic, the Cubby bookstore will reopen on July 4, 2022 initially for one day a week. But for that reopening to be successful, we need volunteers.

This summer, every Monday from either 10 am to 12:30 pm or 12:30 pm to 3 pm.

It is at Library and Archives Canada, 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa, Ontario

Our ongoing book recycling project, each year, has added several hundred books to the LAC collection from among the many donated for sale.
