The White Rock Rotary Book Sale, a 42-year community tradition, returns August 22 at Centennial Park with more than 40,000 books on offer. However, organizers warn this may be the final edition. The City of Surrey has given notice for Rotary to vacate the South Surrey Fieldhouse, where donations are sorted and stored. Without the space, the twice-annual fundraiser—which supports local charities—faces an uncertain future. Petitions are being circulated to urge the city to grant Rotary a new lease.

Petition starter Avtar Gill reported 215 signatures by midday August 18. White Rock officials said they are monitoring the petition but offered no further comment, while Surrey has not yet responded.
