“ LGA and their associates demonstrated a clear understanding of a public library’s unique design needs. A public library is not just a warehouse of books. It is a community place where people gather to learn, share, listen and be heard. Such a place requires not only an innovative design, but also one that takes into consideration the community it serves.”
Dan Carli Former Chair, Kitchener Public Library Board
“When I am giving a tour of the Library, or when someone wanders into the children’s area for the first time, I always welcome them to the “best” part of the Library.”
Laura Reed Head Librarian, Children’s Department, Kitchener Public Library
