The biggest and best sale of gently used books, music, and more, thanks to your generous donations and our fantastic volunteers! This semi-annual fundraiser runs in the spring and fall of every year. All money raised by the sale goes towards the Kamloops Symphony Society’s operating expenses, which include everything from concert productions to educational programs.
We are happy to announce that Barb’s Used Book & Music Sale will be returning as a summer pop-up sale! The sale, which will be a smaller version of the usual edition, will be held in our offices and music school, located at 6-510 Lorne Street, across the courtyard from the historic CNR Station in Station Plaza. This summer pop-up sale will be taking place Wednesdays through Saturdays in August, running from 10 am - 5 pm, starting August 12th.
Owing to the smaller space for this sale, a carefully curated selection of gently used books, sheet music, vinyl records, DVDs, and CDs will be on sale, with prices starting at $2 per item. These fantastic prices make it very easy for shoppers to stock up on summer reading or to find great gifts for their loved ones. Gift certificates are also available to purchase.

Out of respect for all customers and the volunteers who will be staffing the sale, we want to ensure the safest possible environment for all. As such, COVID-19 restrictions and procedures will be in place:
We thank everyone for their understanding.
Good news! The parking lot to the East of our office will be free during the run of the sale! Turn off Lorne Street at the sign saying "Station Plaza" and then the lot is on your right as you come down the little hill.
Volunteers will be unable to accept any donations at this time due to limited space in our offices. We greatly appreciate these generous donations and are working to establish a donation period in the future.
The sale wouldn't be the incredible success it is without our amazing team of dedicated volunteers. If you are able to help, please sign up.

The sale began in 1997, and was the brilliant idea of Barb Corbishley, one of the board members at the time. After her passing, it was renamed Barb’s Used Book & Music Sale in her honour.
