Get involved
With the support of generous donors and dedicated volunteers, the Little Red Reading House and Book Bank are building a vibrant reading community and inspiring a love of reading in the home. There are so many ways you can help support early literacy and help put the children of Calgary on the path to success.
Volunteer
We are very fortunate to have a network of volunteers who give their time as house hosts at the Little Red Reading House and book sorters at the Book Bank.
Please email us at hello@littleredreading.house to learn more about our volunteer opportunities and when we will be onboarding new volunteers.
The Calgary Read Big Book Sale is a yearly event that draws thousands of Calgarians and raises money to support literacy programs across the community. We are grateful to be a lucky recipient of proceeds from the Big Book Sale. If you are interested in volunteering for the next event please follow the link below to find out more.
Donate children’s books
We always welcome donations of gently-used children’s books. Books can be dropped off at our Book Bank location at Shedpoint, 1212 34 Ave. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 9 am – 4 pm. We also accept donations during our monthly Donation Day at Shedpoint. Questions? Please email hello@littleredreading.house.
Make a financial donation
As part of the Owerko Centre at the University of Calgary we are generously supported by the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation. Donations can be made through the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation’s website. When asked ‘What prompted your gift?’ please leave a comment that your gift was inspired to support the Little Red Reading House. Thank you so much for your support!
