The Box of Delights Bookshop

Founded in 1976 by Hilary Sircom, the Box of Delights is named after a beloved British children's novel by John Masefield. In 1991 it was purchased by Mitzi and Bob DeWolfe, who strive to uphold a high standard of community-oriented bookselling during these changing times. In 2014 they invited former employee Hilary Drummond to become co-owner. As a general trade bookstore, the Box of Delights carries a wide range of genres with a special focus on children's books and local interest, as well as providing a wide selection of book-themed clothing, stationery, and calendars. A mainstay of Main Street commerce, we remain actively involved in community events by selling tickets for local theatrical and musical events, organizing readings and other literary gatherings, and using our space to promote literacy and the power of reading. We are also very pleased to have long-standing professional relationships with local arts initiatives such as the Ross Creek Centre for the Arts, the Deep Roots Music Festival and the Al Whittle Theatre.
