Nicholls Family Library

There was not enough computers nor printers. However, the staff were pleasant and it was not overly crowded.

Although this library is smaller & has less selection, it is a great addition to the neighbourhood. The staff are always been friendly and are eager to help.

This is a great addition to the neighborhood! I love that the library is so close (in the same building) as the train, this means that I can drop books off and pick them up on my way home. I love that we can order the books we are interested in online and then they are ready and waiting for us when we come! I love Calgary Public Libraries! I sometimes have a split-shift at work and just come to the library and read or get a few jobs done, it seems like there are enough chairs and places to work.

My girlfriend and I both attend MRU and work full time, so we came here to do a little bit of studying and relax in between classes. I was taking a little nap while my girlfriend was studying and this rude lady decided to come up to us and loudly tells us that we have to be awake or leave the library. Excuse me, I have my books and laptop out, just taking a short nap. She was very rude and treated us like dead weights.

I am confused how this library is an upgrade from the shaganappi location. I find it harder to access, with the close available parking often filled and no underground parking option. The kids area is nice, but because of all the windows, it is cold in the winter, and the winter is when we most often use a library play space. The cafe was great, when it was open, but doesn’t appear to be any longer. The bathroom situation is a real struggle as a parent! Is there a room with a change table? I am always directed to ones without, even though I clearly have a baby (and toddler) with me. And where are the books? There are so few! I have become increasingly disappointed in this new location and choose other locations as a result. And I feel others do to, because it is most often empty when I am there (other than the computer section).
