Thank you to our friends at Coeur New Afton!

We cannot say enough about the generousity of the crew at Coeur New Afton. Not only did they sponsor our new paint and wrap but Elsa and her team delivered over 300 AMAZING books donated by staff for the Bright Red Book Bus program this summer.

Partnerships like this are so vital to the program and we are so grateful for the contribution! Thanks to Coeur New Afton we were able to add loads more awesome titles like Dogman, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Babysitters Club, Harry Potter and so much more!
Thank you for being literacy champions in our community!

How exciting! The 100 Women Who Care chose us! We will add the donation to our Raise a Reader campaign so we get 70% matching funding. Then use the funds to support our young readers and tutors at BGC Kamloops. Thank you for investing in fostering literacy❤️

We have a bunch of amazing books still available and will hopefully be able to visit all our regular locations.

Keep up to date here for location changes with the changing Air Quality.

Due to poor Air Quality we are back inside at the John Tod Centre lobby at 150 Wood Street until the air improves.
