Next, Edmonton has had to hear about just how damn beautiful the new Central Library in Calgary is for a full year. Finally, it’s very grey, something Edmonton doesn’t need any more of.

Honestly, this library looks like it’d beat up nerds, not invite them in to further some knowledge. Can you imagine growing up with this being the first iteration of a public library that you encountered? Books would not seem friendly.
