Congratulations on the library!

You’ve made our City proud

We can’t believe our brand new library!

We shout your praises loud!

We could see the vision rising

Dazzling panes adorn

That’s our bright and shiny library

Our city’s been re-born.

The Grans are just so proud

Our hearts are beating loud

Our pace-makers might burst, burst, burst

It probably wasn’t fun, a miracle was done

By putting learning “first”.

Calgary won’t you blow, Calgary won’t you blow

Calgary won’t you blow your horn, your horn

Calgary won’t you blow, Calgary won’t you blow

Calgary won’t you blow your horn

Running out to my new Li-bree

To heck with knitting socks

Gonna start my seniors blog there

My li-brar-y, it  rocks!

Calgary won’t you blow, Calgary won’t you blow

Calgary won’t you blow your horn, your horn

Calgary won’t you blow, Calgary won’t you blow

Calgary won’t you blow your horn

ROLL out the carpet
The big day has finally come
BREAK out the champagne
We’ve got a “Li’bree” bar none!

THREE cheers for Calgary
Shout out the news far and near…..

Now’s the time
to THANK the dreamers
Our LI-BRAR-Y is here!

TOSS out the streamers
We’ll have a barrel of fun
STRIKE up the big band
We’ve got the project all done

Toast to our city
It’s fabulous news we can share

Now’s the time

Our LI-BRAR-Y is here!

The doors are open every day in winter

The hours are friendly, and the staff is too

Equipment’s there to find the answers

At the li- brar-y!

It doesn’t matter if you’re young or older

Or living with a dis-a-bil-it-y

In short there’s simply not

A more congenial spot

Or happiness in learning than the

Pub-lic  Li-brar-y!

Library! Library!

It makes a person pause

To the library! The library!

For learning is the cause!

Don’t worry if you don’t know how to use it

Or your English isn’t up to speed

The staff will help you find what you are needing

At the Li-brar-y!

For books and videos and even music,

For magazines and Internet and news

In short there’s simply not

A more congenial spot

For happiness in learning than the

Pub-lic Li-brar-y!

Oh what a library service

Oh what a place just for me

I have a space I can grow in

This is where I like to be.

If you’re having trouble with eyesight

There’s a large print collection for your plight.

There are novels on tape, there are movies galore.

Just wander about, take your time and explore.

Oh what a library service

Oh what a place just for me

I have a space I can grow in.

This is where I like to be.

If you think all computers are scary

And this makes you hopeless and wary

There are people and programs to help through the fog.

You can connect, write your emails and edit your blog.

Oh what a library service

Oh what a place just for me

I have a space I can grow in.

This is where I like to be.
