The Bibliothèque de Beaumont Library in Beaumont, Alberta, will host its annual book sale from May 22 to May 24, 2026. The event, which coincides with the town’s annual Beaumont Days festival, offers residents a chance to browse and purchase a wide selection of gently used books, including fiction, non-fiction, and children’s titles.
The sale is located at the library at 5700 49 Street. It will be open to the public on Friday from 10 am to 6 pm, Saturday from 11 am to 3 pm, and Sunday from 11 am to 2 pm. Organizers state that proceeds from the event will go directly toward supporting various library programs and services.
This fundraiser arrives as the library works to meet the needs of a rapidly growing community. The facility was originally built in 2004 to serve a population of 7,800 people, but it now provides services to nearly 26,000 residents. Despite these capacity constraints, the library continues to see high engagement from the public.
In 2025, the library recorded 71,134 visits and circulated 158,719 physical items. Staff also delivered 602 programs to more than 10,700 participants throughout the year. Library Director Jessica Knoch noted that these figures demonstrate the essential role the institution plays in the daily lives of Beaumont residents.
By participating in the sale, community members provide financial support that helps the library maintain its programs amidst ongoing demand for its services.
