Why support the Library?

379

laptops loaned to those in need during the first shutdown

Since the onset of the global pandemic, the Library has loaned nearly 400 laptops to the community to help Calgarians participate in online school, stay connected with loved ones, and apply for Government emergency assistance. We can do even more with your support.

$12

donation buys one children's book

Your donation of just $12 can purchase a new book for children. Access to books from a young age can make all the difference in the life of a child.

Calgarians now visit the Digital Library

The demand for high-quality, free digital resources has surged during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Library supports the highest priority needs of the community.

The digital divide in our community is massive – leaving those without access to technology at a huge disadvantage. Calgary Public Library has been working to bridge this digital divide, but we need your help to do more. Technology is not a luxury – it is a necessity.
