Airdrie Imagination Library

Happy Family Day, Airdrie! 💛

From all of us at Imagination Library Airdrie, we hope you’re enjoying a wonderful day filled with laughter, connection, and special moments with the people who matter most.

Family Day is celebrated in several Canadian provinces, including here in Airdrie and across Alberta. It was first introduced in 1990 to give families dedicated time to be together and to recognize the importance of strong family bonds in building healthy communities. The idea was simple but powerful: in the middle of a long winter, take a day to slow down, reconnect, and focus on what truly matters — each other.

At Imagination Library, we see every day how meaningful family time can be — especially when it’s spent reading together. Sharing a book builds imagination, strengthens literacy, and creates lasting memories between parents, grandparents, caregivers, and children.

Whether you’re out enjoying winter activities, visiting loved ones, or cuddled up with a great book, we wish your family warmth, joy, and togetherness today.

Happy Family Day, Airdrie! 📚💙

💛 Airdrie, we need your help — and it’s about our kids! 💛

Friends, neighbours, parents, grandparents, and teachers — this truly matters.

Our cause, Airdrie Imagination Library, is in the running for a year of advertising support worth $7,500 through the Airdrie Causes Contest — and we risk having to pause or end our efforts to bring this incredible program to Airdrie without your vote.

What is the Imagination Library?
It’s a proven program inspired by Dolly Parton that sends free, high-quality books in the mail every month to children aged 0–5. These books help spark a lifelong love of reading, build early literacy skills, and create meaningful moments between children and their families — regardless of income.

This isn’t just about books.
It’s about giving every child in Airdrie a stronger start, supporting early learning at home, and investing in our community’s future.

Here’s the hard truth:
Without funding support, we risk losing the momentum we’ve worked so hard to build to bring the Imagination Library to Airdrie.

Right now, we’re working to secure the 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵. Once we reach our goal, local children will begin receiving their very first books in the mail — completely free to families.

Let’s make sure every child starts school with stories in their hands and imagination in their hearts.
