The longest running green fundraiser in the world has set yet another record. 

The Children's Hospital Book Market which took place over three days at St. Vital Centre, managed to raise over $274,660 setting a record for the largest sale ever. 

But that's not all. They also set a second record with opening day sales hitting the highest mark ever. 

This is the 58th year that the Book Market has been around.

Each year over 400 volunteers are involved in running the event. 

Previous to this year, the largest sale was in 2010 with the highest opening day recorded in April 2016 when it was a five-day sale.

The next Book Market Sale is September 28-30 at St. Vital Centre.
