The Canmore Public Library is hosting its second annual Girls Connect: A Library Literacy Day on Thursday, April 9, 2026, offering local girls aged 10 to 13 a chance to explore technology and new books.
The free event, taking place from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the library inside Elevation Place, features a hands-on 3D printing workshop and a book tasting session. These activities are intended to inspire creativity and foster a love for reading among preteen participants.
This program is a partnership with the Family Connection Centre, a local service operated by the Town of Canmore that provides free support programs for youth and families. The library session is part of a larger week-long Girls Connect program running from April 6 to April 10, 2026. As of early April, registration is nearly full with only one spot remaining.
The library recently expanded its technology offerings by acquiring two new 3D printers, a Bambu H2D and a Bambu P2S. These upgrades were made possible through funding from the Friends of the Canmore Library and a generous bequest from Susan Barry. The library, which houses over 60,000 items, continues to offer these types of programs to support the community’s ongoing learning needs.
