The RAIC Edmonton Network is excited to partner with Edmonton Public Library to launch the Architecture for Young Readers project—an initiative to build a vibrant collection of architecture books for children, adolescents, and teens. 

Architecture shapes the way we experience the world—let’s inspire young minds to explore it through books! 

How You Can Help 

Sponsor a book for just $30. Each sponsored book will feature a personalized bookplate recognizing your support—whether as an individual or a firm. 

For every book sponsored, RAIC will match your contribution, doubling your impact. 

Thank you for supporting this initiative and helping to make architecture accessible to young readers! 

So much of architectural practice is project-driven—so it is crucial that you follow the most up-to-date project management practices, tools and techniques.
