An almost-final look at what the new Halifax Public Libary on Spring Garden and Queen was presented last night at a public consultation meeting.

With at least 50% more books than the current library, the new design sports an orange color in the middle and offset levels that are very pleasing to the eye. 

The building is being designed by architects from Fowler Bauld & Mitchell Ltd. of Halifax, and Denmark's schmidt hammer lassen.  Construction begins in the spring.
