On November 1st, 2018, the new installment of the Calgary Public Library (CPL) system just opened: the new Central Library. This library has been under construction since 2013, and 5 years later, it is the flagship branch of the CPL. Its address is 800 3 Street SE, but it is hard to miss if you’re passing by. However, the unique and remarkable architecture is only one of the things that makes this library so special. Here are some photos I captured last weekend.
An outside view
Bustling 4-level building
Rows upon rows upon rows…
Live performances
Lots of study spaces
Free meeting rooms and quiet spaces
Thousands of books…
…and it’s all free!
Beautiful architecture
Artwork everywhere!
Now, go see for yourself and enjoy!
