Our volunteers are the heart of the Calgary Book Sale. Our dedicated team of 250+ volunteers, most of whom have supported the Calgary Book Sale for many years, coordinate and run collection, sorting and sale of 100,000+ books over 5 weeks. Their experience, expertise, and commitment have allowed the Calgary Book Sale to be a success for over 20 years.
