It should be quite exciting yes. The notion of the new central library and competition (including its website -
www.calgarylandmarklibrary) has been around for a few years now. It's been delayed for quite some time with the uncertainty as to when the Police Admin people are moving out of their building on that block. Also, it needs a budget of $200 million or so?, only about $40 million of which has been secured.
Have you heard any word whether the competition will be launched anytime soon? I'm guessing after the civic election. Unless McIver wins at which time he will probably shut down the public library system because it's a waste of taxpayers money.
