This weekend, the Children’s Hospital Book Market is hosting a one-day pop-up comic book sale at St. Vital Centre, offering readers a chance to grow their collections while giving back to the community.<\/p>\n

The foundation regularly hosts book and media sales throughout the year to raise funds for kids in hospital. A similar one-day event last August raised more than $33,000 in just seven hours.<\/a><\/p>\n
