The Library Foundation connects and inspires donors to support Calgary Public Library’s programs and services beyond their core funding. Many programs, services, and spaces are realized entirely through donor support.
Since 2013, the Library Foundation has raised more than $80 million in support of Calgary Public Library. Our donors are helping propel the Library to be an inspirational pillar of our community and a global leader in library innovation.
Whether you support the Library because you are an active member yourself, or because you know it provides Calgarians with the programs and resources they need, thank you. Your donation improves our city.
