Appreciate the events organized for kids of all ages. Great place for a visit with your young ones.park outside to run around, books and library to explore inside. It is a hidden gem of library.was here for the wordfest event and it was time well spent.

The Wonderful staff gave me a quick tour of the place and I was so glad of their kindness. A true beauty in a beautiful park surrounded by some harsh modern architecture. A beauty like this takes the edge off all the glass, steel, and concrete starkness of downtown. I loved this building, I also thought it amazing that it is still a library and long may that continue!

When the novelty of working form home has MORE than worn off, I like to hit the Memorial Park Library and get a lot of stuff done - the oldest library in the province - which has been open since 1912. And now that the new downtown library branch is all the rage, it's typically very easy to come here and get an excellent table with a great view, power outlets, plenty of silence, great daylight, very strong internet (see attached photo of speed test), etc...

Very nice library located in a beautiful park in the heart of Downtown. Not very big but perfect to spend some quiet time reading or looking for books.

Staff here are amazing! Cheerfully and patiently helped me with all my computer and printer concerns. They don’t have a desktop computer here, rather they let you borrow their chromebook laptops for free. I like that they renovated this old library and now it looks way better than the other locations! Only downside is that you have to pay for the street parking. But other than that, I think this location will be my go-to library from now on.

One of the oldest park in Calgary, water fountains and water splash ground fountains for kids during summer. The library was recently renovated inside and very historical and a small, however it just beautiful building, I think they used to have kid and parents program in the basement before covid but I don't know if they still have it on. It also use for voting and top floor is Wordfest. Wheelchair and elevator access on the back of the building.

This library is a hidden gem. I usually find myself here during final exams. It is a reconfigured historical building which has been restored really nicely. The staff are Incredible and the atmosphere is really calm and a good environment. My only complaint would be parking being a bit tricky, while I've never had problems parking, you can generally only park for 2 hours, but that is no fault of the Library!

My favorite library in town! It's small for in house books but it lends musical instruments. You borrow the instruments in the same manner as you would borrow books. It is quite wonderful as an option for low income persons wanting to try playing music but unable to buy instruments out right.

This library is a comfy place to study/work/read/relax. It is quiet, clean and well-organized. The staff is friendly and ready to help you. I love the big windows and the amount of natural light that enters the library! Also, the view outside of the library is so pretty!(However, it can be a little bit cold during winter, especially in the rooms with the old windows)
