To take part in Calgary Public Library Programs, you’ll need a free library card, and some sessions require advance registration. You can sign up for a free library card online if you don’t already have one.

And if you’d rather learn from home, the library also has free online learning courses through Gale Courses and LinkedIn Learning, covering everything from business skills to technology and creative interests.
