“A Warm Glowing Lantern” – Design Unveiled For New Saskatoon Downtown Library #yxe

This looks amazing – can’t wait to visit!

New Central libraries have been built in most major Canadian cities over the past decade from Halifax to Winnipeg to Calgary to Vancouver among many others.  And now Saskatoon will join that list!

Every single one of these new Central libraries have become community hubs, centres of learning and symbols of the community they represent.


It was a highlight of a trip to Calgary a couple years ago when we visited their new Central Library on a Saturday afternoon and saw *multiple* wedding parties using the library as a backdrop for their wedding photos.

Can you imagine???

Libraries are not (and have never been) purely about “books” as is commonly assumed.  Books are actually how public libraries trick people into being part of civic society! 🙂
