Fish Creek Library

- 0 Comment(s)

This impressive piece of oil-boom architecture is the closest thing in Alberta to a pharoah’s tomb” wrote Calgary Herald columnist Patrick Tivy on the opening of this landmark branch in 1985.

A big branch with a small branch feel, Fish Creek became overwhelmingly popular in the community, serving a population the size of Saskatooon by 1994. Many families have grown up with the branch over the years. Some of the children who attended Storytime as babies have since come back as teens to work for the branch as pages. Truly ageless... just like the pharaohs!
