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!

Cape Breton Regional Library

Reviewed By paige2903 - Sydney, Canada

I went to visit the library last year to look for a book in order to analyze for my thesis paper back in high school. The book is very old and I could not find it anywhere else except for Cape Breton Regional Library. The staffs were welcoming and they greeted me very well. They asked for the name of the book and quickly after that they handed me the book. Also you do not need to pay for anything when you come and borrow the resources. They have a huge amount of resources from the books on display to the books that they kept in the back of the house. They also have 5 to 6 computers that everyone can access to if you do not have a personal one at home. You are welcome to use the computer there. When you sign to borrow a book, they will give the date that you have to return it usually it is about 2 or 3 weeks. The staff will make a phone call with you to remind about returning the book 1 or 2 days before the returning date. You can also ask to prolong the return date through that phone call without having to come to the place. They will normally except to do so unless there is another person borrow it beforehand. Additionally, there is free wifi and a large working space which is very quiet and comfortable for people to read or use their computer to work. The decoration of the library is extremely nice, vintage style and cozy. I really enjoy my visit and I always want to visit it again.

Kentville Library

Kentville library to re-open in newly renovated space Oct. 19 KENTVILLE, NS - A year after moving to its new location at 440 Main Street, the Kentville library will soon relocate to its permanent home upstairs in the same building. The former St. Paul and St. Andrew United Church space has been fully re-purposed to fit the needs of its new tenant, its staff and clients.

Reviewed By 122lornam - Ellershouse, Canada

The atmosphere in this converted church building is so welcoming that you can spend literally hours browsing through the stacks and seeing what is on offer. I completely lost track of time—not a bad thing, really—and when I returned to the here and now, I resolved to come back soon and do the same thing again! The staff is efficient and approachable as well as being knowledgeable about the space and contents.
