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.
Perhaps Canada's BEST library!nnI kept getting told to visit Calgary's Central Library and I'm so glad I did. As much as it is a beautiful place to read, learn, study, or get work done, it's also an architectural marvel, unmatched by any modern designed library I've ever been to.nnEven though it's quite big and tall, it feels so easy walking between floors and on each floor, signage is clear and easily found. If you still have questions, there are employees everywhere in blue vests, ready to help out.nnThere is also a lovely children's area, equipped with a playground. It'd be the perfect place to bring kids on a rainy day. They can get exercise, read, colour, and play with friends all in an area that's easily observable from wherever you choose to sit.nnThere are plenty of spots to retreat to and get work done in quiet, including a beautiful open space on the top floor. It is so inviting and makes you want to stay.nnLastly, I love how well lit it is. Libraries can sometimes be dark and illuminated with bad fluorescent lighting. That's NOT the case at the Central Library.nnThe city, the library, and the architects hit a home run on this wonderful public space.
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.
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.
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.
