The story behind the stories
In June 2025, a mother and daughter opened Vancouver Island’s only mobile book truck, taking it to markets, events and beloved neighbourhood spots with the goal of making reading more fun and accessible.
They noticed something pretty quickly: community forms around books. From there came more stops, more events (Reading Parties!), more partnerships, and eventually a book scooter for smaller pop-ups and local deliveries.
Then, in October 2026, they opened a permanent brick-and-mortar shop in Victoria’s Estevan Village.
The book truck still has places to be, outside the rainy season on the West Coast, but now you know where to find them between stops.
