    “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die."
    ~Mel Brooks

    Ask 10 people what makes them laugh and you will probably get 10 different answers. But whether your taste in comedy runs to Mel Brooks or Monty Python movies, Dilbert or Garfield cartoons, or classic recordings by Bill Cosby or Bob Newhart, you will find a wealth of humourous material at the Calgary Public Library. From DVDs to Book CDs, cartoon collections to funny fiction and memoirs, we have a wide variety of items to tickle your funny bone.

          

     

    “Question: How do you get 200 drunken Canadians out of a swimming pool?
    Answer: You say, ‘Excuse me, could you please get out of the pool?’”
    ~Will Ferguson

    Even when we’re laughing at ourselves, Canadians love a good joke (or a bad one!) Check out the wit and wisdom of Canadian humourists next time you are at the library.
