Several independent bookstores are offering help to those affected by flooding last week in Calgary, Alberta, Quill and Quire reported.
Calgary's own Pages Kensington, which was not flooded, has offered to replace ruined books at cost and has set up accounts for people whose books have been damaged to which donations can be made.
Galiano Island Books, Galiano Island, B.C., and Ella Minnow Children's Bookstore, Toronto, Ont., are splitting the proceeds of their sales this Saturday with Owl's Nest Bookstore in Calgary, whose business has suffered because of the flooding. In turn, Owl's Nest plans to help Pixie Hollow Books in High River, which lost its entire inventory in the flood.
