It replaced the beautiful old Carnegie Library in 1973.

I had posted the above early on in the thread, back in 2020 showing the current central library and the Carnegie Library it replaced. What I didn't know was that Ottawa Rosemount Library, which is still around, was also a Carnegie Library.

Today is marks the first time I've seen the Calgary Carnegie Library that still exists. Thanks to MattBerryOfficial and Calgarian for informing me what this building was and is.

I can't think of a Billionaire today that has such a wide net of philanthropy.
