Nose Hill LibraryMany people growing up in Calgary’s north remember the old ATCO trailers that were the home of the former Varsity branch. The avid readers in this community formed a Friends of the Library group that were determined to see a new branch built.
You can imagine their delight when the new bright and airy Nose Hill branch opened its doors April 15, 1988, with a cathedral ceiling and a multitude of windows.
Community connections are strong here, as seen by the branch’s dedication to hosting the annual Jane’s Walk in which volunteers tour the community in honour of urban activist Jane Jacobs.
