    Love it, beautiful and comforting. Mountain View's out the windows. I come to plug in and charge my devices and research camp sites

    Nice visiting this very warm and inviting Building: with Children, Teen and Adult sections within…read morethe Library and very friendly Staff. Nice photos, art and history displayed too. They have items for sale, a great noticeboard and tons of what's happening information to read. Banff without a library - just isn't Banff.

    I have been working and living in Banff for a year and a half. This is the place I come to just…read morechill and get warm on my shopping trips downtown. I have library cards from both Calgary and Banff. I must say that althrough the collection is small, interlibrary loans make getting certain books faster compared to getting the same books in Calgary. I looked up the same title in both libraries and Calgary has 60 holds for half as many copies. Banff and its system of small town libraries have 14 copies available to borrow. The only downside is that all holds are interlibrary loans, as there is only one location in Banff and therefore loans take longer to arrive. My only suggestion would to open an hour earlier , i.e 9 am instead of 10am. This way I have ample time to pick up holds and head up back to work . My schedule doesn't allow me to visit the library at all on the days that I work. Their hours are pretty much my hours. On my days off I go back to Calgary and have to catch 10:30am bus so I just have enough time to pick up a hold before I head to the bus station. But that's not on the library, that's on the crappy bus schedule we have in the winter. In the summer I would have enough time to go pick up a hold before heading back to work. It sucks that on Saturday they open even later at 11am so I can't even go pick up a book because my bus leaves before that. Aside from hours I think this library is pretty good.

    I love visiting libraries whenever I travel somewhere new, and this is a gem in Calgary! While…read morethere's not a lot of parking in the small lot out front, you can park on the street and walk over pretty easily. The library is open from morning till night, and I was surprised by how many people frequent here throughout the day. There are activities for kids, tables for studying, free Internet (you do need to register for a card, but it's good for 3 years), and friendly staff. Thanks to this library, I was able to get some work done without trouble, all in a calm, soothing atmosphere!

    Having seen this library about a zillion times in my travels, I thought it was due time for me to…read moreactually step foot inside. Yesterday I made an impromptu stop as I travelled via C-Train. First things first: Could this library be ANY easier to get to?!?!? It's situated right across (literally a 10 second walk across the street) from the Lion's Park C-Train stop. The library itself looks quite small, until you step foot inside. It's a lot bigger than I expected it to be - looks really can be deceiving! They've got 10 complimentary computers with Internet access available to everyone, immaculate washrooms right at the door, a calm, quiet crowd and a very friendly and efficient staff. I'm most definitely a fan of this branch. Easy to get to, cool vibe, and shopping right next door - I'm one happy camper!

    I always enjoy visiting libraries when I visit new cities. When I saw the beauty of this library…read morethrough pictures and reviews, I knew I had to visit this one. Honestly, the pictures don't do it justice. In person, it was much nicer and cleaner. Every section of the library was sparkling clean and clearly maintained well. There are 4 stories with computers, meeting rooms, tables, coffee shop, art installations, children's area, etc. They definitely made it so there are plenty of resources available for whatever you may need. The only downfall I can think of is that the library has quite a bit of drugged up people in there as well as right outside and some of them causing a scene or clearly making others uncomfortable. I understand it's a public facility but it's still a negative aspect about the library.

There 3 levels out do with a children's section on the 3 floor with a play area and multiple reading areas and kids books spread out. They have mega cheese board and table chest set up on the 4th floor with a manual hockey board and crossword puzzle on the white board. They also have a little cafe serving coffee, lattes, tea, smoothies, and ice cream desserts. Reasonably priced. It's a cool place to check out on a rainy day in Calgary. They have free tours on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 12-1pm plus an escape library game on select dates.

    The library that I'd frequent most in my youth…read more Conveniently situated right across from Northland Village Mall, and down the street from Winston Churchill High School, the Nosehill Public Library is one of the most popular libraries in the N.W.. They have a rather impressive collection of audio books as well as DVDs, CDs and movies. Plus there are lots of windows so the sunlight streams in from all angles. Plus once you're done working/reading/researching/signing out books, you can head over to the mall to shop, or grab a bite to eat. And if you're feeling up to a 25 minute walk, you can head over to Dalhousie Station and take the train to any part of town! Great location, great selection, great atmosphere.

    I love almost everything with the library. My only issue is that it is far too popular/busy, but I…read morethink in part this might be due to CPL Crowfoot undergoing a very long renovation creating issues. Time will tell once the CPL Crowfoot renovations are complete, along with the new CPL Rocky Ridge location opening up in January 2018. PS. All CPL locations have wifi; however. most have issues as their routers are only designated to accommodate 12 people at a time, or so I was told. CPLs are very popular; hence, often CPL wifi networks are either hard to get onto or drop you after a certain amount of time. Hopefully, wifi will be upgraded accordingly very soon to better accommodate the popularity of CPLs. PPS. Most times the bathrooms are dirty/wet for heavy use, and lack of paper towels. The hand dryers are very hard to use for most, since you need to place your hands up into the dryer for it to work properly.
