Book Haven is a non-profit business created to support various humanitarian projects in Ukraine. It was also created to provide affordable English books to English-speaking expats as well as nationals with a desire to learn English. Currently, BookHaven does book fairs and charity events, and plans to open a physical location spring of 2026.

Used book donations are being collected at St. Patrick’s during Lent. While BookHaven does receive some book donations in Ukraine, the bulk of BookHaven’s stock comes from the US. We would love your donations of used books in good condition! Please see this flyer about what we’re looking for.
