History

»Posted on July 5, 2009

The first BookShelf was opened in Thunder Bay in the mid 70’s in the room of a house on the North side of the city. Eventually, more rooms were needed as demand for used books increased. The original owners sold the BookShelf to it’s present owner, Jean Bégin, in 1993. The store moved one more time to its present location and in April 2003, a second location was added. The combined book total for the two stores is in excess of 110,000 and growing everyday. The books are all alphabetized, making finding a book easier for both the customers and its staff. The staff looks forward to helping you find the book that you are looking for and will even call or e-mail you once locate that hard to find book.
