It’s not just a place to borrow books—it's a place to connect, learn, and be inspired.
Such a beautiful library located in the heart of Calgary. This is such an incredible place to get away from Calgary winters and just immerse yourself in the beauty of this location. The children's location is HUGE and the multiple floors provide ample space for work stations or just hanging out with friends.nnThere is also a coffee shop inside this library, which I've never seen before. The architecture in the area is majestic, as the wooden structures give a vibrant life to this library. I saw multiple couples doing wedding photoshoots while here, so it is definitely a popular spot. Overall I highly recommend this place!
Went to an event at the library. It was my first time at this location. It's was easy to find because the architecture of the building stands out. Very fascinating to look at. Inside is massive and beautiful. We didn't get to venture through the library itself but the even room was beautiful. Well lit and clean. Bathrooms were clean. Lots of stairs but I did see that they offer an elevator service. I would love to go back and go around this library. The surrounding area didn't feel as comfortable to me. Alot of loiters hanging around the area. I would suggest being cautious and aware of your surroundings. Definitely check out this library!
Just finished the tour. Learned a lot about the building and the history of Calgary. Saw the comments worrying there are going to be the problem of homeless and disturbed individuals. But instead full of laughter and joy from students and little ones playing inside. Love the staffs, love the patrons, love the volunteers, love the security.
This is such a beautiful library, it is so huge and the architecture is modern. We ended up going there for a candlelight concert and it was very well set up.nnThe only negative, and it’s something that they can’t control, would be the sort of street riffraff in the area .
