Things to do in Canada, Canada: The Best Libraries

January 23, 2022 Roger Rusk

World class skiing, decadent European style cuisine, ornamental cathedrals, peaceful island life…Canada is a patchwork of thriving cities and majestic wilderness. Montreal beckons travelers with its French charm and booming cultural landscape. In Toronto, the Art Gallery of Ontario is a vision of Frank Gehry architecture and national artistic treasures. The gleaming mountain ranges of Banff set a stunning backdrop for an exploration of the Canadian Rockies.

Halifax Central Library

Reviewed By RDHiscott - Lion's Head, Canada

This modern new building replaces the old Halifax Memorial Library on Spring Garden Road – it is a large building with open glass walls with great views of the city, along with a rooftop terrace with some spectacular paroramic vistas of the Halifax waterfront. Check out the modern art design of an entire wall devoted to cards from the library card catalogue of another era … some of us still remember doing library searches that way! Very impressive architecture, beautiful building!

A wonderful place to spend a pleasant hour or so choosing books reading newspapers and magazines, accessing information on the many computers which the library has on hand for its clients and many many more services they offer. The staff is always at hand to help.

Woodstock Public Library

Reviewed By Dianaalexandragreen - Stavely, Canada

My son and I had our first visit to the Woodstock public library last night. The employees there were helpful, informative, and they really engaged with my son. I really appreciated this, because even though he is shy- he's at the perfect age to start getting him really excited about reading. He was able to get his own library card, and he was also so excited to hear that you can also borrow video games. We were made to feel very welcome, and are both looking forward to our next visit.
