Brick-Buy-Brick Campaign
Thank you for providing a Ladder Up on Literacy
In 2023, the Calgary Public Library Foundation launched its Ladder Up on Literacy: Brick-Buy-Brick Campaign to support rehoming Engine 23 and the advancement of children’s learning and literacy at Fish Creek Library. Engine 23 is a dynamic play structure, encouraging open-ended exploration and interaction. The design aims to improve five important early learning skills: talking for communication, singing for musical expression, reading and writing for literacy, and imaginative play. Additionally, this installation offers valuable opportunities for children to engage with firefighters and gain knowledge about fire safety.
The Brick-Buy-Brick Campaign enables Calgarians to leave their mark by sharing their name or a personal message on a vinyl brick. These high-quality bricks are displayed prominently in the children’s area at Fish Creek Library alongside Engine 23.

FAQs
Can I still purchase a Brick?
The campaign has closed. However, you can still make a donation to the Engine 23 project at: libraryfoundation.ca/engine23.
How long will my brick be up for?
10 years. We intend to offer donors the opportunity to reaffirm their passion for Engine 23 with a renewal option after the 10-year term, but this may change depending on the growth and evolution of this incredible Library space. The final decision will be made closer to the end of the 10-year term.
How will I be able to find my brick?
Use the brick locator above, which has a detailed diagram and directions to help you find all the inscriptions on the bricks. We encourage you to plan a visit to Fish Creek Library, find your brick, and share a photo on social media with the hashtag #JoinTheEngine23Crew.
Please note that brick wayfinding information is added following the installation of your brick at Fish Creek Library. If you are having trouble locating your brick in the table above, please contact us at info@libraryfoundation.ca.
What is Engine 23?
Engine 23 is a decommissioned Calgary Fire Department truck. It was converted into an educational play structure in 2016, where it became instantly popular to Library patrons young and old at its home in the former Central Library.
As a fire truck, Engine 23 helped protect Calgary for almost two decades. It weighs over 20 tonnes, holds 2,200 litres of water, and, notably, was the first truck on the scene of the Hub Oil explosion and subsequent fire in 1999.
