Memorial Park Library opened in 1912. The classically-inspired building has a grand columned entrance and staircase, rich and ornamental exterior, and elegant interior.

Memorial Park Library was the first public Library in Alberta. Annie Davidson, one of Calgary’s cultural pioneers and visionaries, championed the building alongside the Calgary Women’s Literary Club. The site of the future Library, now known as Central Memorial Park, was chosen in August 1908. Funds for construction came from American businessman and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, who supported 125 libraries across Canada.
