Little Red Reading House

Our first Book Donation Day of 2026 is this Saturday January 3rd from 10am to 1pm!

If you’re doing some New Years purging this week, we would love to receive your new or gently used children’s books - picture books, board books, graphic novels and YA books - at our Book Bank!

We provided thousands of books to children and families in the community over the holidays and are in great need of a good re-stock to continue with our work in the New Year.

The Little Red Reading House Book Bank is located in Shedpoint at 1212 34 Ave SE. Pull into the parking lot on the East side of the building and look for Bay 120 where our Book Bank volunteers will be waiting to greet you.

We hope to see you Saturday!

As we come to the end of 2025, we wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your support over the past year!

Whether you’ve visited the reading house with your family or child’s school, connected with us out in the community through the reading van, dropped off book donations at the Book Bank, or volunteered your time to help us achieve our goal of spreading literacy and a love of reading throughout the city - THANK YOU! We have loved hosting, getting to know, and sharing stories and laughter with each and every one of you this past year.

The Little Red Reading House and Book Bank will be closed for the holidays from December 21st to January 4th.*

On behalf of our team at the Little Red Reading House, the Book Bank and the Owerko Centre at the University of Calgary, we wish you all a restful, joyful and magical holiday season, and look forward to connecting with you when we are back in the new year!

📚✨* And please mark your calendars for our first Book Donation day of the New Year on Saturday January 3rd from 10am - 4pm at our Book Bank located in Shedpoint at 1212 34 Ave SE, Bay 120. 📚✨
