Welcome! We're so glad you're here!
We are a dedicated group of volunteers who love our Airdrie Public Library & are excited about our new home!
We believe healthy libraries are key to any community’s health and well-being. And we are active – talking about the library, its programs, its resources and its value to our city.

12
Active Advocates working towards fundraising, increasing literacy and creating community connections.
What do we do?
The Advocates are Airdrie Public Library’s friends’ group. We fundraise to add new services, materials and equipment and are passionate about literacy, lifelong learning and community connections! Our fundraising has purchased new e-books, multi-language signs and significantly added to the library’s collection.
How do we do it?
Our fundraising is everything from our own bookworm bookmarks, to our AGLC Casinos! We hold raffles, books sales, and donations. We are exploring the idea of a signature fundraiser of our own. If you’ve got a great idea on how the Advocates can raise money for the Library, you’d better join up and help make it happen! Events sometimes need an extra hand , and who better to ask for help than our Advocates? Consider donating your time. There are so many ways to get involved! And we’d love to have you!
