New Central Library | Construction

[DizzyEdge]

I have to admit I'm always a bit torn about the new library. I think it's an amazing space, and definitely has become part of the group of Calgary landmarks (Calgary Tower, Saddledome, "Peace bridge", The Bow, National Music Centre, etc.). I've been there a bunch and have been impressed about how many people are using the library. I can't say if there are less homeless than before, but there definitely seems to be way more non-homeless. That all said, it was pretty expensive and redirecting some of that money to digitize holdings could have also been a worthy endeavor.
