SUMMARY:World Read Aloud Day
DESCRIPTION:Reading aloud is a key that unlocks a lifetime of connection\, happiness\, and success for children. Research shows reading aloud builds powerful neural pathways that contribute to both emotional wellbeing and academic success. When a child is read to\, they are transported to a world of possibility\, joy\, and magic\, and learn to form deep connections to themselves and the people around them. By celebrating the read aloud\, we celebrate and share all that it is to be human.

SUMMARY:Spring Marketing Campaign Brainstorming
DESCRIPTION:Over the years\, Parkland has undertaken several regional marketing initiatives. The Golden Ticket Contest in October and Library Card Sign-Up Month in September have had great participation and feedback from member libraries. Having another contest or campaign earlier in the year would add some consistency to the marketing efforts of libraries. We’re looking for your feedback to determine if this is something libraries would be interested in\, and what and how to run a campaign that will make the biggest impact for our member libraries. \nAnyone in charge of their library’s marketing efforts or interested in marketing should join us for this brief feedback and brainstorming meeting. \nJoin the meeting now\nMeeting ID: 292 427 786 009 15\nPasscode: LN2Hr7Fn

SUMMARY:Indigenous Sharing Circle Gathering (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:We would like to invite you to register for the first Indigenous Sharing Circle Gathering of the year\, hosted by the wonderful Maria Buffalo and Billy Bruno in Maskwacis. This will be a full day of in-person learning at the Howard Buffalo Memorial Centre in Maskwacis on Monday\, March 23 from 10am – 3pm.\nAs Maria and Billy have been planning for this event\, it has blossomed into an interactive sharing circle of knowledge where topics will be shared that are valuable for any library staff member. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone and everyone working in libraries to learn about Indigenous cultures\, Truth & Reconciliation\, protocol\, ask questions\, and be a part of this important conversation and relationship-building.\nIn addition to a sharing and learning circle\, there will also be a tour of the Museum & Archives in Maskwacis as part of the day. Lunch and snacks will be provided for this full day event.\nThe registration for this event will be capped at 24 people\, on a first come\, first served basis. There will also be a waitlist for this event so if you are unable to attend but have registered\, please let Paige know at pmueller@prl.ab.ca so that someone else can take your spot and benefit from the training. Maria and Billy will be hosting another Sharing Circle Gathering in Maskwacis on October 2\, so if you don’t get a spot in March\, you will have another chance to attend later in the year.\nDue to the limited space in this program\, we ask that no more than two people per library register.\nRegister here: https://parklandab.wufoo.com/forms/zk224xq1gqct4l/\nThe registration deadline will be February 23\, 2026.\nPlease Note: This event will be happening in person only and will not be recorded. To be respectful and create an environment for learning and sharing\, attendees should plan to attend the entire event.
