Read more about "Stories Arts eResources for ages 6 – 12"History of Quarry Park Library Quarry Park Library opened on July 2, 2016, and is located inside the Remington YMCA in Quarry Park. It was built to better serve the rapidly expanding community previously served by Glenmore Square Library. It is currently the only location in our system to have bookable meeting rooms available after hours, when the rest of the Library is closed. It was also the pilot location for Read and Play kits, take-home early learning development kits loaned to families across Calgary. Prior to development in 2006, the neighbourhood the Library is located in was a gravel quarry for over 50 years, which is how it got its name.

Read more about "National Geographic Kids"Seton Library has lots of room — enough room for a helicopter to fit comfortably among the shelves of books and other Library services.When the under-construction Library opens, young children will have the opportunity to explore an Alouette III helicopter, one of 11 Early Learning Centres in the Library system. A partnership with the Hangar Flight Museum provided the decommissioned helicopter. Able to fly at higher altitudes and carry seven passengers, two stretchers, or small cargo loads, the Alouette III was the choice of those who worked in mountainous regions.The incredibly successful installation of Engine 23 at Central Library has inspired other creative spaces, like the Alouette III at Seton Library. Watch the video to get a sneak peek before the Library opens in early 2019.
