Libraries are important spaces in any city or town, and though we often take their presence for granted, Canada is home to some impressive ones.
Earlier this year, Calgary’s shiny new Central Library was named one of Time magazine’s Greatest Places of 2019, thrusting it into the global spotlight not long after opening its doors.
