In reply to Doreen Pendgracs. Hi, Doreen! I hope you get back to Halifax one of these days and get to enjoy the library first hand. Nice to hear that you are on the mend as well. I'm hoping that this is the first and only cold that I'm going to have this fall and winter.

We admired this library from outdoors (at night) recently, and were impressed. I love parking myself at libraries as I travel, and browsing the local authors section. This building sure is attractive!

What a fantastic place! This new library has so many cool features, including the cafes. However, I, too, hope they will find a way to utilize the old building.

Hi Nancie and thanks for introducing us to Halifax’s wonderful new library. It looks amazing! I love that city and would love to return.

Glad to hear you’re on the mend as well. I, too, experienced an early season cold that really set me back for a couple of weeks. But am now on the mend and gearing up for future travel. Cheers!

A beautiful, modern building that emphasizes there will always be a need for a public library ready to provide information and communication between people as well as a good old-fashioned read! I like the idea of the mural too, personalizing the service a library provides to its city residents. Hope this note finds you feeling better!

In reply to Michele {Malaysian Meanders}. Hi Michele. The cafes (also one on the first floor) really add to the overall concept. I think it gets away from this notion that libraries are places where you have to be quiet, and can't socialize. I think there will always be a place for libraries in out world (thank heavens), and I think the changing technology only makes them better! :)

In reply to Cat Lin. Hi Cat! Definitely visit when you're in Halifax. Since it's located to a number of major tourist attractions, it will be hard to miss. A museum in the old library is a great idea. We'll see what happens!
