all aboard the bookstore bus!
Thanks to Edmonton Transit Service, we will have Bookstore Buses running Saturday to central bookstores! ETS will run two charter bus routes 12pm-5pm, one on the north side and one on the south side, every 30 minutes. These two routes will connect at the University LRT station and Corona Station. Taking the Bookstore Bus is FREE! The only regular transit charge would be for crossing the river.
Please note the Bookstore Bus route excludes the Downtown Wee Book Inn, Variant Edition, and bookshops in the suburbs.

we are grateful to be here.
Edmonton is known as amiskwacîwâskihikan in Cree (Beaver Hills House), and is located on Treaty 6 territory, the homeland of the Métis Nation. This is the traditional land and gathering place of many First Nations including the Néhiyaw (Cree), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Nakoda (Stoney), Dene, and Anishinaabe (Ojibway/Saulteaux), and home to of one of the largest communities of Inuit south of the 60th parallel.
Indigenous stories matter. We encourage readers to join with us in learning, decolonizing, and truth-telling in the best ways we know how, as we journey the road to reconciliation together.
