The Airdrie Public Library's (APL) Mighty Machines event was once again a hit on Sunday.
Tanya Pike, the children and teen coordinator for the APL, was excited to see plenty of Airdronians enjoy the free event.
"This event is a strong example of how the library goes beyond books. It brings people together, it builds partnerships and sparks discovery."
According to Pike, almost 2400 Airdronians visited the event as it showcased all kinds of large vehicles that kids love to see daily, whether that's city services vehicles, fire trucks, tow trucks or even tractors.
"Parents chatted with the firefighters, and kids met city workers. Everyone left knowing a little bit more about their neighbours."

Bumblebee and Optimus Prime were at the event as well.
"This kind of initiative transforms the library into a central community hub. It is not just a quiet space, it's a vibrant space."
She shared that the library is excited about next year's event, as the library will be in its new location within Inspire.
Pike concluded by thanking all those who participated and Tires On The Run for sponsoring the event.
