If you could share anything with this future generation, what would it be? A recipe? A doodle? A prediction? A poem? Words of wisdom? A funny story?

As part of the Calgary Public Library’s 100th Birthday, we’re giving you a chance to write a message to the future. It’s easy – submit your message via our submission form or write your message on a bookmark at any Calgary Public Library branch. We’ll put your bookmark in a sealed time capsule to be opened and read in the year 2062.

To Submit:

1. Write only on the special archival bookmark paper with a pencil, pencil crayon, or ballpoint pen (colours are OK). Do not use wax crayons, felt markers, metallic ink, glitter, etc.
2. You must use your real name and phone number. If you’re under 18, you need your parent’s permission.
3. You can write or draw anything you want! But remember, 50 years isn’t all that far away, and all submissions are public documents. Don’t write anything you might regret!
4. You can also submit via text by texting DEAR FUTURE followed by your message to Virgin Radio at 985985.

The deadline to submit an entry or drop off your bookmark is OCTOBER 31, 2012, so act fast!
