FLA Events Line

The Foothills Library Association provides the Events Line as a service to the library community, primarily in Calgary, Alberta, and the surrounding area, but also includes events of interest to library workers in the rest of the Prairie Provinces, British Columbia and the North. It is a free service to you can use to advertise your local library’s or library associations’ events.

Although the Events Line service is free and run by volunteers (like the Jobline), your membership fees help to support it. If you are not a member, we encourage you to obtain a $25 yearly membership. More information may be found on the Membership page.

The Events Line lists library related events at the professional, technical, and community levels. It is updated daily as submissions are found or received. To list an event, e-mail the relevant information as text in the body of the message and not as an attachment to events@fla.org. Please note that because of the very high risk of receiving a virus through email attachments, they will not be accepted.

The Foothills Library Association reserves the right to choose whether or not to post events on its Events Line. Please try to include all the necessary information in your events posting as will not be able to contact groups for clarification. For questions about the Events Line, send an e-mail to events@fla.org.

Room to Read is a nonprofit organization that partners with local communities throughout the developing world to establish schools, libraries and fund education for young girls.

Room to Read has chapters around the world which promote the organization and raise funds to support the projects of the organization.
John Wood, the Founder and CEO, was the keynote speaker at the Library Association of Alberta Conference in April. He mentioned a desire to see an Edmonton Chapter created.

We would like to invite you to this information meeting to discuss the formation of an Edmonton Chapter. At the meeting we will describe the mission of the organization, seek to identify people who would be interested in volunteering to plan the creation of a chapter or those interested in being kept informed regarding the development of the chapter or future activities of the chapter.

Please circulate this information to others you feel might be interested in participating.

If you are unable to attend the meeting but would like to be involved in the chapter, or chapter creation, please let me know and I will add your name to our contact list.
