Since 2011, we have raised more than $60 million in support of the Calgary Public Library. Our 21,500 donors are helping to build a stronger Calgary.

Celebrate early learning in a way that’s bright, personal, and lasting. At Louise Riley Library’s Early Learning Centre, each $123 donation adds a “bubble” to a growing community display. These bubbles aren’t just decoration, they’re small dedications that carry names, memories, and messages from people who believe in the power of learning.

Whether you’re honouring someone, remembering a loved one, or sharing a simple note of encouragement, your bubble becomes part of a shared space that sparks curiosity and brings colour to children’s daily discoveries.

The last day to purchase a bubble for Louise Riley Library is June 15. Get yours today at libraryfoundation.ca/bubble.
