Another long weekend means an extra day without seeing all of you! Judith flew The Nest for a few days, but Ryan? He's getting cozy and holding down the fort. Enjoy the day, gang, and we'll see you tomorrow! 👋🏽
Friends of Owl's Nest, meet the newest member of our team - Seth! He'll be Ryan's right-hand man at Book Fairs around the city when the season starts, and a huge help in the store. 📔
He's already been hard at work at The Nest, but we managed to pull him away from training to share a bit about himself!
Owning a bookstore means hanging out here even when it's closed. Judith and Ryan are (im)patiently waiting to see all of your lovely faces tomorrow at 10 AM! Happy Heritage Day, pals!
It’s time to celebrate Disability Pride Month! In Canada, disability community members and advocates are speaking out about societal barriers and sharing creative solutions to overcome them. Support, educate, and celebrate with these inspiring titles that showcase the vibrancy of the disability community!
We think there's probably a law somewhere that says bookstore owners have to visit other bookshops on vacation - so that's exactly what our wonderful co-owner Judith did on her well-deserved getaway! 🧳
Her travels took her to Wicked Good Books in Salem, Massachusetts, and The Strand and McNally Jackson in New York City! We're thrilled she had such a great time with so many amazing books, treasures, and sights to behold. (And even more thankful she's back home at The Nest!)

Have you picked up a gift for Dad yet? Father's Day is only a week away, and we have an awesome selection of books, cards, and nifty gifts for the occasion! Stop by to see for yourself! Better yet? Bring Dad with you!
HAPPY PRIDE, PALS! 🏳️🌈 At The Nest, we celebrate the unique identities and journeys of everyone. Our collection of 2SLGBTQIA+ books reflects this commitment and shows how powerful literature can be in fostering understanding, empathy, respect, and inclusivity for all!
We cannot thank you enough for making our Book Club Discussion Nights an absolute blast! We had the BEST time sharing our favourite reads with you all and chatting with friends - old and new. Our little bookworm hearts are so full. We now have copies of our 2024 BCDN recommendations in-store and online! 📚
Canadian Independent Bookstore Day is tomorrow! YAHOO! What better way to spend your Saturday than with a bookstore field trip?! 📍
Thanks to our co-owner Ryan, we now have these nifty maps in-store of not only Calgary's indie bookstores but also the surrounding areas!
Celebrate an indie bookstore (or two or three) tomorrow and remember to visit us at The Nest for goodie bags, giveaways, and more!
There's no being more majestic than the indie bookseller, and we couldn't think of a better way to honour Earth Day (and our amazing staff) than with a little tribute to Planet Earth and David Attenborough. Let us celebrate the beauty of our planet today and the people who keep it thriving! 🌏
Calgary oldest independent bookstore, supporting local readers and writers for the last 40 years! Owl's Nest Books is Calgary's oldest independent book store.
