Vision Statement: Heart of the Community, Key to the World

Mission Statement: To enrich, inspire and empower the community by providing space and resources to stimulate curiosity and innovation, life-long learning, community connection and leisure pursuits in a safe, welcoming environment.

The Okotoks Public Library has been a fixture of the Okotoks community since 1977! We've come a long way from the tiny little room on main street, first moving to 7 Riverside Dr. in 1990 and then expanding (to almost double the size!) in 2005. In 2021 we expanded our space again by more than 60% and are now part of the Okotoks Arts & Learning Campus. We are a member of the Marigold Library System and a part of the resource sharing mechanism of TRAC which is Alberta wide. We are proud to serve the Town of Okotoks and surrounding Foothills County.

Our recent expansion required us to develop a fundraising campaign titled “Come Grow With Us”. As part of this on-going campaign, we are asking for community members, their friends and family to consider contributing to our expansion with a donation. 

We continue work on our second round of fundraising with a target to raise $250,000 to supply Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment for the new library.

"Come Grow With Us" by donating to the Okotoks Public Library:

• Donations of any amount are appreciated.
• Donations of $20 and more receive a receipt for income tax purposes.
• Donations of $100 or more results in the name(s) of the businesses or individuals—with their permission—being placed on our “Wall of Fame” mural in the library and on the library’s “Thank You to Our Donors” site.
• Please consider donating regularly by clicking on the Donate Monthly Bar.
• Other ways to donate:
  • Online (via Canada Helps)
  • Online (via E-Transfer): libraryaccounts@okotokslibrary.ca
