Our first edition of Trippin Tuesday will be about this magical bookstore I found in Calgary, Alberta. It’s not really magical to anyone other than me so that is my story and I’m sticking to it. My friend and I were on our way back from a hike in Lake Louise which will be another post because it was awesome and I had heard of the store before but had never had the chance to visit so we figured why not?
The name of this magical haven is The Next Page and is located in the Inglewood community in Calgary. Frankly, that whole stretch of 9th Ave had some really cool stores along it, definitely worth a stroll. But back to the book store when I walked in I just felt at home if that makes sense. It’s in an older style building with a rolling ladder that makes you want to glide along the shelves. ( I will have one of those in my house one day lol) , old typewriters and displays throughout the store that catch your eye.
My favorite part besides everything I listed above is downstairs where you’ll find the used book section, and the seed library where you can borrow and lend seeds for the garden enthusiasts. And chairs are set up theatre style where they play old movies. I sat down and lost myself in the movie, the music, and the space. I couldn’t even tell you what was playing that day I was lost in the moment and how I felt.
That Beautiful wall of books and the ladder I wanted to play on.

Gorgeous display
Downstairs in the used section. They will purchase used books for cash or store credit. Intake for used books are Mon-Fri during business hours.
Where time stood still and I was lost in the moment…..
If you are ever in the Inglewood area of Calgary I definitely recommend making this a stop. They are amazing here, if they don’t have it in stock they will gladly order it in for you. I hope to see my book on their shelf one day. I’m manifesting lol look it up.
Till my next adventure,
