In the spirit of The Calgary Public Library’s “One Book One Calgary” campaign, we’d like to encourage you, our blog readers, to tell us what you think is awesome about the Bow River and Calgary! 

Share your thoughts in our ‘comments’ section below. 

To help get you going, here are some comments from Calgarians that were published in the Calgary Herald this past weekend.

The Book of Awesome chosen for public library’s annual One Book One Calgary program

Is there something awesome about Calgary? 

That’s the conversation starter the Calgary Public Library is tapping into with their selection of The Book of Awesome as the highlighted title for this year’s One Book One Calgary program. 

The book, by Canadian author and blogger Neil Pasricha, is a relentlessly upbeat chronicle of the little things that make life, well, awesome (snow days, the smell of bakeries, and high-fiving babies, to name but three,) that was called “heartwarming” by the New Yorker, which isn’t exactly known as for its sunny disposition. 

This is the public library’s third year for the initiative, which encourages all Calgarians to read and discuss a single title.
