✨📘You helped us stuff 5 trucks and the Calgary Curling Club with books...
✨📘You gave time to help us sort and create this reader’s wonderland
✨📘You walked in the doors beaming, and you left beaming, arms filled with treasures
And with all of that support behind the 22nd Calgary Reads Big Book Sale, we raised the most we’ve EVER raised: $584,400!!! 🙏
Now we can turn those proceeds into supporting local children with reading help, books of their own and early literacy advocacy—because every child has a right to read! 👧🏻📖✨
We share our deep, heartfelt thanks to:
💛The Rotary Club of Calgary Downtown for stewarding the sale, leading our Stuff-a-Truck events, volunteering and cooking up some pretty tasty hot dogs on volunteer appreciation day!
💛Our 1,200 incredible volunteers, super leads/committee members, volunteer coordinator (Dawn!), and co-chairs (Tami and Gail)!
💛The Calgary Curling Club for their amazing staff and support on this 15th year of hosting there!
💛The City of Calgary for their support with traffic and parking control
💛 The media, for helping to spread the word
💛The thousands of you who donated the 200,000+ books that filled the rink (even though it was a little brisk during donation days!)
✴️And YOU, dear reader!!
Beyond your own enjoyment of the books you took home, you are part of keeping alive a beloved Calgary tradition and helping to grow a thriving, reading Calgary! 🫶 🌇📙
Sincerely,
the Calgary Reads Big Book Sale team
