Come see a preview of Calgary’s New Central Library, a key landmark in East Village, and one of the most open and welcoming gathering places in the city.

On September 4, we are delighted to invite you to attend a one-of-a-kind evening of design discussion in the company of some of the world’s best library architects and some of the world’s most enthusiastic library users. (You may count yourself among them!) You’ll get an up close look at the design features, amenities and function of the New Central Library, which is imagined as a new cultural and educational landmark in the downtown core and East Village.
The evening will bring together Calgarians and architects Craig Dykers of Snøhetta and Rob Adamson of Calgary’s DIALOG, who were announced as Prime Design consultants in November, 2013. Since then, the two renowned firms have been busy creating a 21st century civic institution – one that’s designed to be the heart of Calgary’s public library system for the next century, and one that’s built on the input of some 16,000 Calgarians. Snøhetta and DIALOG took the results of the surveys, questionnaires, events and interviews that happened throughout the city in 2012 to 2014 and have designed an inspired (and inspiring) hub of community service and lifelong learning.
