“The Calgary Public Library is a very essential part of my life as it became more than just a place for me to borrow books from. As a newly landed immigrant at the time, it served as a safe space where I could have access to resources which helped me in my job search and settlement at no cost. It’s still a place I am deeply passionate about when I reflect on the role it has played in my integration into the Canadian culture. Giving to the Calgary Public Library Foundation would help provide all Calgarians with the programs and resources they need, which are needed now more than ever before.
