Check out the event https://www.yelp.ca/events/edmonton-capilano-library-grand-opening I haven't had a chance to drop in but everyone I've spoken with has been very pleased with the innovative design. I WILL be going soon to see the high ceilings, windows and facilities for myself!

So happy to have this new library in my neighbourhood. I popped in yesterday to do some printing…read moreand was so pleasantly surprised with how busy it was. From outside it's a quirky building and inside it's really well laid out with computers, printers, makers space, of course books and a welcoming reception area. I nipped in to do some printing but can't wait to come back and spend some time here. The parking lot has plug ins which I thought was a nice touch. There is also plenty of street parking too.

It's a good vibe, quiet, well-light, and perfect for parking yourself there for long periods of time. Nothing beats Rutherford to me. I'm not even a University student anymore and here I am! North will always be the superior side to me because I'm more of a lone wolf. It's also close to HUB for people who need food/a study break.

The university has a plethora of study spaces, but for me Rutherford is the best. Rutherford South…read moreoffers many options of plug-ins for your laptop though there could be more. The ground floor spaces tend to be noisier that floors 2-5. My imagination loves the tight narrow lines of bookshelves on the floors. It reminds me of scenes from Ghostbusters. I half expect Slimer to pop out any second. Speaking of ghost stories, Rutherford North has the distinction of being the only place in my life where I felt like I had a semi-haunted experience. Many years ago I was in the basement looking at some rare books and heard faint whispering in the background. There appeared to be nobody else in the vicinity, but there were clear sounds of a whispered conversation going on. It made the hairs on the back of my head stand up and I still get a little spooked when using the basement washrooms in the North. Of course the experience coincided with having been up the entire previous night finishing off a paper, so the psyche was a bit scrambled! The reading room in Rutherford North is my favourite place to study. It's quiet but not too quiet and it's got a ton of character.

I love that I can borrow books and read them off my phone using the Libby app. So cool. I put my…read morephone screen on dark mode and read for a few minutes in bed on my way to dreamland. This gives me a way to read that doesn't disturb my partner while letting me brush away the cares of the day from my busy mind. My eyes start to close and I turn my phone off. I don't need to go to the library to get a good book, I can get one instantly from a list of available books. Did I say how much I love Libby? I love Libby! Libby helps me keep track of characters in murder mysteries, it allows me to check the meaning of a newly encountered word, it also lets me highlight sections and take notes for the next time I borrow a book that I might read again. If I want to see a picture of some plant or architectural feature or type of hat mentioned in the text, Libby makes it easy to google for an image. Yes I love Libby.

I had to get a new card. Mine was old and not linked to my email…read more I was helped immediately by super friendly staff. Hooray, I'm all updated. Great service. I was also helped with requesting a novel into circulation. There are so many things you can do online. Cool site. This location rocks. It's in an historic building. It's busy but quiet. I like to sit downstairs and read magazines. I also like the foreign language education C.Ds selection. Upstairs there are rooms to host community events and special interests. Open on Sunday. Good hours.

I attend the sing, sign, laugh & learn program here on Wednesday mornings. & its always packed. There is a reason. They host an amazing program. They also have baby lap time and family story time. They have a book club as well. There is also a very wide selection of books here ranging from different and diverse subjects. Audiobooks are also available at this location. They also have books in French, Arabic & Spanish. This is also a really good place to bring your kids if they have a book report from school. I always see high school kids here doing homework or just hanging out & I think that's a positive. 1 of the best things about Edmonton Public Libraries - membership is free !!!

I have time on my hands now so i hang out here reading . Nice clean,well lit place with friendly…read morestaff. Comfey chairs and lots of computers for kids to play games on. Decent selection of books although totally skewed towards teenagers and little kids. Some major Canadian newspapers as well to read that cost a fortune to buy otherwise. Even some excitement occasionally as a brawl broke out between a few teenaged girls the other day . Fun place.

The puzzle may be temporary ~ we've worked on two different puzzles in the past month. The teen area upstairs is cool. You can check out comics, manga and more !! Cozy up with your tea and a magazine while the sun kisses your nose ~ inside or on their second story enclosed patio. I highly anticipated the opening of this library. The first year after its opening, I felt the interior lacked warmth. Five years later this gem established loyal visitors, those visitors and the new, bring a pulse ~ a warmth. This is one of several Edmonton library's i highly recommend. The librarians are fun & informative ~ and patient with our never ending requests to bring in BOOKS ! Check them out !!

Amazing highly recommended but it's just the books take too long to wait for like one time I placed…read morean order for a book in march and it came in July I just guess people like the book so much (it give people turns to use the book for a week there are more than 1 copy of every book)

I've been to this library a couple of times and really liked it. I was searching for old newspaper…read morearticles and found their periodical section very orderly, and easily found what I was looking for. Like most libraries, it's quiet here, but the nice thing, is the traffic is also fairly light, so there isn't the same in-out commotion of larger branches, so I guess you could say it's quieter than many libraries. They also have a nice selection of audio and video here. The staff are friendly and very helpful. I also liked this branch because it was clean, new and very bright with comfy, big chairs. This is a great way to pass a few hours on a free afternoon, just you and words on a page. Sounds decadent to me!

I LOVE love LOVE that a library branch was included in the Clareview Recreation Centre. Seriously…read more- nurture your body and mind in a one stop shop! The glass and natural lighting here is excellent! It's the perfect way to relax and unwind over a book while letting your kids play their hearts out and their endless energy on our cold winter days! And if you haven't downloaded Hoopla, you are missing out! It's a free app that lets you checkout audio books, music, and videos from your smartphone! I download books and listen to them on the road through Bluetooth in the car.

I take my 10 month old baby to the libraries "story time"…read more My baby absolutely loves it! The ladies who lead the story time are very good at what they do. You can tell that they have lots of experience with children. Very professional. The class is nice and clean, they are not too crowded either. You do have to be there right on time to make sure you get a spot. Very inclusive group, the staff make sure babies are safe and that parents/guardians feel welcomed and comfortable to move around and dance/play with their kids. I will def miss this place when I go back to work!!

LOVE love LOVE this library!…read more For a small town library, it totally rocks! The kids area is great - complete with a Arthurian tent to phone a mystery phone recording on, a wooden bus you can sit on with your kids, and plenty of natural light. They have a phenomenal summer reading program for kiddos! The adult sections are pretty good and if they don't have what you want they can order it in from another library. I love how it's conveniently located in City Hall. It's nice to stop in for a break from the Farmer's Market on a hot summer's day. There is a beautiful winding staircase to the second level or an elevator if you prefer - my toddler likes to do both, severl times, every visit! The only thing that would make this library better is if the memberships were free - I mean come on St. Albert, the taxes are HIGH enough to warrant a free library membership :-)
