Jasper Place Public Library

Jasper Place Public Library

I am an avid book reader, and I love to visit the Public Libraries.  

On my way to an appointment today, I drove in front of the 'Jasper Place Public Library ', and decided to stop, and visit this library. 

Most people will not know this, but this is a 'New' building that had a grand opening summer of 2013.  The old building was demolished, to make way for this spectacular building. 

The following are the benefits, besides picking up wonderful books, magazines and reading the 'daily ' papers:

-- a refuelling station for electric vehicles,

-- bicycle storage and change room,

-- water-efficient landscaping, to capture rain water, 

-- abundant natural light,

-- 75% of construction, from recycled material,

-- 10% of the building materials were manufactured regionally, and

-- low emitting materials, from paints, carpets, wood etc.  

This building looks incredible, however more importantly is that, the building is very welcoming to 'future' and 'current' book lovers. 

Check out the pictures, I have attached. 

Please make time to visit this building, if you are in the Meadowlark neighbourhood of Edmonton.  

Thank you for visiting.
