What is LibraryStore?

Empowering people to make a different in their community.

LibraryStore

LibraryStore is an initiative of Calgary Public Library Foundation, raising vital funds for Calgary Public Library while providing a platform for local entrepreneurs, artists, and artisans to showcase their work, grow their business, and expand their reach. Originally launched to serve patrons’ stationery needs at Library locations across Calgary, LibraryStore has since evolved into a one-stop shop for all things bookish and Library-themed. 100% of the proceeds from every LibraryStore purchase support the life-changing work of Calgary Public Library, sustaining programs, services, and spaces used by Calgarians every day.

As of 2024, LibraryStore has raised more than $550,000 for Calgary Public Library.
