Calgary Public Library - Saddletowne — Local services in Calgary

To be very honest, either they are lying about it being a library or they have an Alein definition of Library. They call it Open concept library but this is Only Open Concept, Not a Damn Library. They feel proud in getting all ages of people in there at the very expense of the main purpose of Library. Every damn person is watching Movies on speaker, calling, screaming and playing. If you complain about Loudness and stupidity going around when you studying, they through a Small cheap Silent room to you face... Now for again, these naives also have Crappy definition of "silent" room. Children come inside and call their Mama Mama, the Door handle of silent room is the loudest of all of whole so-called "Library". Overall. Read all people Comments down here, everyone complains on same thing over and over again but They Honestly do not give a Damn because it makes Majority happy. Its like a Billion dollars hospital that takes care of Relatives of patients, nurses doctors but Do not give Damn about The damn Patient who should be the nucleus of hospital. My suggestion: at least if you want to allow all the nonsense while Practicing True Library Definition then Make several Silent Pods or Rooms or Cubicles and Please add Double glass and Silent door handles on Silent room which do not through Rock Metallica sounds. I request staff to forward my compaint and suggestion to concerned authorities and STOP GIVING LAME EXCUSES, Admit and own this Nonsense and Correct your...

My 2 year old daughter and I went in for the first time in 3 years to this location to sign out books (we also recently moved back to the area). She got super excited because she loves her brother's books and started pulling couple books of the shelf and sat on the floor to read them with me.Momentarily, a rude librarian came up to us, almost yelling at us about the "mess". She kept repeating "this is too much work for us, this is too much work for us!" She ran off to grab a basket and came back marching to my face and took all the books away. I could still hear her say "too much work for us" under her breath as she violently stacked the books and threw them in her basket. She left with all the books my daughter picked off the shelf except for two. My daughter was baffled as she watched this lady take her books away. My poor child stood there in horror, trying to absorb what had just happened. I had two people come up to me afterwards telling me "this was unacceptable" "she was so rude" "you should complain". I did talk to a supervisor afterwards and she agreed that the situation could've been handled in a different way. It has been about a week and I cannot get myself to go back in there...
