Week of November 24, 2025
I have something to share with you
Attn: Book lovers!
Kimberley has many places to find books.
We have cute little free libraries all over town, and our public library. Friends of the Kimberley Library is a great place to find unique used books, and other stores around town sell books related to their main offering.
But we don’t have a dedicated shop for new books.
Which is why my wife, Cheryl, and I have decided to open a bookstore!
Papervale Books will be located in the heart of the Platzl, at 160 Deer Park Ave (Tumbled Earth’s old spot, next to The Shed). We are planning to open our doors to the community in early December, however we don’t have an exact date yet.
If you would like to find out more about what we’re up to and when we’ll be opening, please go to papervalebooks.com and drop your email there. I’ll be sending weekly emails about the bookstore, what’s happening, and when the big day will be.
Now let’s get onto the list, here’s your week in Kimberley.
