Calgary Public Library - Sage Hill — Attraction in Calgary

This library is really tiny. Its not at all well invested. Thermostat : too warm Staff: friendly. (But when the clock clicks 6:30, they’re ready to wrap up everything for the 8pm closure.

I think the management need to work on this. Apart from this, the library attendants are wonderful, kind and...

Last night my spouse has been studying late hours writing her thesis for her Masters Degree at UofC. today while I was studying at the library she felt like she needed a rest for 15 minutes as was very tired. She hurt no one, didn't create any noise (unlike many awake in the library), she simply put her head on her arms over the table. I explained to the library staff that she is a bit tired and all she needs is 15 minutes of rest/nap. However, they were adamant about rules of no sleeping and didn't let her to rest. Unless, I have to I will try avoid going to this location as despite of my explanation library staff did not accommodate our...
