November 10, 2025
Tuesday, November 11, 9am-6pm
On your day off, stop by Back Cove Books to pick out a new book! Make sure to let them know your shopping to support Rowe!
Back Cove Books is proud to host an in-store book fair to benefit the elementary schools of the Portland Public School District on Tuesday, November 11th from 9am - 6pm!
We will be filling the store and Odd Fellows Hall (located on the 2nd floor) with all of the things you love about a classic book fair - books, books, stickers, tiny journals, bookmarks, books, and more books! 20% of every purchase will be donated back as a store credit to the Portland elementary school of your choosing.
Can't make the fair in-person? No worries! We will be hosting an online portion of the fair from November 11th - November 21st at backcovebooks.com/bookfair (webpage launching November 11th).
Back Cove Books is at 651 Forest Ave Portland.

Our raised garden beds are in need of some TLC, and we’re looking for volunteers to help rebuild them!
A huge thank you to Hillside Lumber for generously donating the wood and to MiBox Maine for transporting it to the school — we couldn’t do this without their support!
We’ll be working on:
- Tuesday, November 11th | 10am-12pm
Thursday, November 13th | 3:30–5:30 PM
