Are there books collecting dust on your bookshelf?

Donations are still needed for the 11th annual Calgary Book Drive and Sale, benefiting Servants Anonymous.

The agency provides support and education for women who have been involved in the sex trade, as well as The Calgary Herald’s education programs.

All Calgary fire halls, except No. 13 and No. 25, will be accepting donations until Sunday.

The sale takes place June 7-9 and June 14-16 at the Crossroads Market in the southeast.
