Calgary Public Library Executive Leadership Team Giving Tuesday Challenge 2026

Help us write a better tomorrow through stories with a TRIPLED gift.

At the end of October, Calgary Public Library launched its new Strategic Plan, a bold vision for the Library of tomorrow with a 2040 strategic horizon. The Library of 2040 is one Calgarians deserve — a dynamic, inclusive place where possibility is realized and everyone can dream big and unlock their full potential. 

For the next four years, we are setting ambitious targets to stay on track and maintain momentum.

By 2040, the Library will see:

• Three out of four Calgarians as members
• Total circulation approaching 30 million
• 18 million annual visits to Library locations
• At least 200,000 net-new square feet of library space — eight new Library locations built and three existing spaces redeveloped

Philanthropy will play a big role in making the goals of the Strategic Plan a reality. None of this will be possible without the support and generosity of our community. Give today and your gift will be TRIPLED.
