When I went on a tour last year, they said that they were trying to find someone to build a boutique hotel in that location. I doubt they have had any luck.

Council to decide on a site for a new Airdrie Public Library
The location for a new Airdrie Public Library will be the topic of discussion at Monday’s City Council meeting. In January the City of Airdrie contracted help from the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation to conduct key library stakeholder interviews and facilitate strategic project planning...

Won’t compete with this but Airdrie is also getting a new library. 50,000 square foot facility going to be built at the location of the old downtown fire hall. I couldn’t find the article saying the decision was made. Only setting aside a little under $30 million for it I think.

This was expensive, but damn did they ever do it right. This marvelous building will be a dominant feature of downtown for our whole lives, and I am glad they spent the money ensuring it was as beautiful as envisioned. I hope Calgary never forgets this example and builds all large cultural projects to the same standard (or at least with the same vision!) Well done.

Didn't have my camera with me but had to snap some pics. What a beautiful building inside and out. Was very active too. Amazing addition for the community - I'll be there more often!

I stopped by the library this weekend, the first time since February and I am still extremely impressed.
For those who thought the library's vibrancy was going to take a dive after a couple of months when the novelty wore off, they couldn't be more wrong. The place is still buzzing. It's a complete success and arguably Calgary's best public space.

Couldn't agree more. I met some folks there to do some group work last Sunday and the place was bumping. People with their kids, tourists, students, and everything in between.
