Usually, Libraries are only used for doing homework, study times (individual or group), printing or even hanging out with friends. To be honest with you, I only use the library for printing my handouts and booklets from my classes but when I saw these programs that the library offered I was shocked and curious that these programs exist. Based on these programs, it can help you improve your English such as vocabulary, writing, and comprehension. They also help you in your Homework online such as projects, assignments, and essays. Access to THE KEY guides. An interactive online job and career search and review your courses and practice tests online from different subjects. There are many programs the Calgary Public Library offers but here are what I think is the best programs they present.
Note: All of this are programs are online(e-library) and need your library card to work.

3. Solaro
Key guides for free? Online access to the same Alberta -specific curriculum information found in The Key guides. Course lessons, reviews, and practice tests for grades 3 through 12. Honestly, this free access to the Key guides saved me a lot of money because most teachers ask us to buy key guides which are worth $18 dollars each subject to help us review for our quizzes and tests. Good Thing there’s a free one in the library!!!!!!
