 The power of libraries lies in personal transformations. It is found in the wonder of a child with books to explore, the comfort of connecting with friends and neighbours, the confidence gained with knowing "how to", and the joy of sharing old favourites and new discoveries. |

Campaign Funding Facts
Construction of our new library building is being funded through a combination of municipal tax revenues and provincial government grants. While a mix of municipal and provincial funding will also go toward the books, equipment and furniture that will make our building come alive, a crucial piece of that funding pie has been left to the library to raise. With your support, our Capital Campaign will ensure that this growing community gets the library it deserves.  | Municipal

Provincial Capital Campaign
| Funds raised will enable the Library to...
Bring its collection size up to national library standards [ensure that patrons find current, inviting and plentiful resources]
Purchase shelving that meets accessibility standards [ensure access for visitors of all ages, stages, and levels of mobility]
Furnish its new spaces with attractive, flexible and practical furniture [ensure there's something to suit a variety of needs and tastes] |
About Administrative Costs Our Capital Campaign has involved the effort and dedication of our Campaign Cabinet, a group of committed community and staff volunteers. Aside from printing, our primary costs have been for staffing. We hired a consultant who worked with our fundraising coordinator to shape our process, and covered time for our existing employees to plan, support our volunteers, and carry out the work behind the scenes. Questions? See our Capital Campaign FAQ for answers. Read more about Library Funding.

Services During Our Move |
Strathcona County Library will be opening its doors in the new Community Centre at Centre in the Park on November 1, 2010. For the past two years, library staff members have been working closely with architects, designers, and County officials to make the dream of a new and improved library a reality. And with construction on target, it's getting closer all the time. The biggest change will be the size – doubling from the existing 32,500 sq. ft. on one level to 64,000 sq. ft. over two stories. The new library will have something for the whole family. There will be room for every user to have their special space depending on their needs, from quiet study areas to dynamic and interactive children’s areas, from a welcoming space for teens to hang out, to lots of cozy nooks for anyone to curl up with a good book. There will be an internet café, wireless access throughout the facility, lots of group meeting rooms that can be booked for group study, more program and public meeting rooms, a Career Centre to support both employers and employees, a space to park the Bookmobile indoors, and lots of flexible spaces to meet the changing needs of our growing community. And hand-in-hand with increased space will be a bigger collection, newer and revitalized, with more books, DVDs, CDs, kits, and magazines, for all age groups and interests. We are excited about our move and all the opportunities our new space will provide for everyone in our community to explore, relax and connect.
