Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept donations of used books?

YES! That's exactly how we run this non-profit. We would be so happy to accept donations of your books. To do this, simply send a message to liz@secondhandstories.ca and we will reply with the addresses of our three drop off locations (Kanata, Carlington & Orleans). We can't wait to hear from you!



What do you do with books that don't sell?

We sell books on our Instagram page, website and in-person sales. If books do not sell within three months they are donated to local Little Free Libraries!



What is The Sweet Sanctuary?

Founded in 2018, The Sweet Sanctuary is built on kindness and compassion for all animals. We provide a permanent home to horses and farmed animals suffering injury, neglect, abuse, or abandonment. Located just outside of the Nation’s Capital in Mississippi Mills, Ontario, the sanctuary sits on 85 acres of safe haven. Including a magical pig forest, goat mountain, and sprawling pastures, the sanctuary is currently home to 34 animals and growing. The Sweet Sanctuary Animal Rescue is a registered Canadian charity.



How much have you donated so far?

Since being established in November 2020 Secondhand Stories has donated over $16,000 for the animals. Our original goal of $500 was quickly passed and we are hoping that we will soon reach $20,000!
