Reviews
I attended the library tour, guided by Adrienne, and this was phenomenal. That might seem like too much but I assure you it wasn't. First, Adrienne was friendly and knowledgeable. Second, this library is beautiful. The tour was actually moving as the intentionality to create equality, connection, and I forget the 3rd goal, came through so clear, as did the desire for the library to create community.nWhether you are a visitor or from the area, I highly recommend taking a tour.
There is something for everyone at the central library. They frequently have art exhibitions by local artists on the main floor, a cafe that is quite good, and beautiful infrastructure that is a please to be in.nnOne knock is that it is right next to Salvation Army, which is a homeless shelter/ half way house, so sometimes there can be some interesting characters about.nnParking garage is located right across the a street, so it is easy to access. Worth a visit if you are in this area of downtown.
Calgary's Central Library: A Hub of Knowledge and CommunitynnCalgary's Central Library is a marvel of modern architecture and urban planning. With a CTrain running through its base, it symbolizes the city's innovative spirit and connectivity.nnThis isn't just a place for books - it's a vibrant community center offering activities for all ages. From children's storytimes to adult workshops, there's always something happening. The comfortable seating areas invite visitors to linger, whether with a book or a laptop, while enjoying panoramic city views.nnWhat sets this library apart is its ability to transform a quick visit into a day-long adventure. With its diverse spaces and programs, it caters to everyone from studious teens to curious adults.nnThe Central Library stands as a testament to Calgary's commitment to learning and community. It's more than a building; it's a destination where knowledge, creativity, and urban life intersect, making every visit a unique experience.
Fantastic performance! Quartet were amazing! Music was so enjoyable! Beautiful ambiance!nnThe Central Library auditorium is quite cramped. I’m only 5’-10” but couldn’t sit without man-spreading my knees for the full width of the seat in front of me.
It was a beautiful library with a very impressive architectural environment. I couldn't help but admire it because it was perfectly designed not only in appearance but also in interior. By my standards, I could see the Nordic feeling, but I could see the very reasonable aspect of an advanced country. I strongly recommend you to visit once.
