Events
Doing some spring cleaning and want to donate books to the Calgary Book Sale to support the RESET Society of Calgary? They want your used books! Book donations are a very important part of what makes this fundraising event a success. No amount is too big, or too small, every book makes a difference. They just ask that you bring them to one of the donation collection locations. Book Donations are accepted from April 11th – 20th and can be dropped off at the Crossroads Market. RESET Society are excited to announce that this year they will be having a stuff-a-trailer day! If you are unable to make it to Crossroads Market, they will have a trailer conveniently located for donation drop offs on one day during donation collection. Alternatively, if Crossroads is most convenient for you, but you can’t make it during our hours, feel free to leave your book donations in the after hours kiosk just outside the Book Sale Tent doors.
