Fort Saskatchewan residents looking for free summer activities can now check out what is happening at their local library. The Fort Saskatchewan Public Library has released its Summer 2026 program guide, packed with events and programs for everyone from babies to adults, all at no cost.
Registration for the summer season opened on June 12 at noon, with programming running from July 2 through August 31, 2026. The guide, available online and in the library at 10011 – 102 Street inside City Hall, lays out a full schedule of activities organized by age group. Families can find early literacy programs for children birth to five, hands-on activities for school-age kids, and coding camps and Dungeons & Dragons sessions for tweens and teens. Adults are not left out, with book clubs and one-on-one tech help sessions on offer.
One of the highlights is the return of Summer BINGO, a reading challenge where participants can earn prizes. This year it is sponsored by local business Twice But Nice. The library is also teaming up with partners to bring special programs. Parks Canada is presenting a ‘Learn to Bird!’ family event, and the WCS Canada Alberta Community Bat Program is lending out bat detector kits so families can explore local wildlife. The Kompany Family Theatre will perform ‘Dr. Kukoo’s Kloudy Kerfuffle’ for families, and the Edmonton Immigrant Services Association will offer settlement help for newcomers, while CALLS provides English classes, resume tutoring, and tech help.
Visitors should note the library is closed on Sundays in July and August, starting July 5, to adjust for the summer season. All programs are free, and residents need a library card to take part.
The Fort Saskatchewan Public Library has been a community hub since 1901 and operates with a mission of empowering literacy, community, and connection. Its values focus on partnerships, innovation, intellectual freedom, lifelong learning, and creating a safe and inclusive space for everyone.
