The Library is dedicated to making its resources and facilities accessible not only to its members, but also to the wider community. It serves as a welcoming space for the collection, preservation, and exchange of knowledge related to all aspects of Croatian culture, heritage, and history.

With a deep respect for Croatia’s rich past—from its medieval roots to its modern cultural identity—the Library aims to inspire learning and curiosity about the country’s traditions, language, and literary achievements. It actively promotes awareness of Croatian writers and highlights the distinct qualities that make Croatian culture unique.

Over the years, the Library has grown into a meaningful cultural hub, thanks in large part to the generosity of our members. Many of the books in our collection have been thoughtfully donated, and we sincerely appreciate these contributions, which continue to enrich our offerings and support our mission.

In addition to its literary focus, the Library encourages and supports annual exhibitions of Croatian handicrafts and artworks, fostering a deeper connection to the artistic expressions of the community.

Founded in August 1985, the Library is currently undergoing an exciting period of renewal and transformation as it continues to evolve and better serve future generations.

The collection consists exclusively of books in the Croatian language.

The Library is located on the second floor of the Croatian Canadian Cultural Centre in Calgary.
