A groundbreaking event was held in Saskatoon for the city's new public library.
On Tuesday, Saskatoon Public Libraries CEO Beth Côté joined mayor Charlie Clark in groundbreaking the site of city's new public library which both Cote and Clark say will have a positive impact for all residents.“I don’t know if blood, sweat and tears is the appropriate thing to say, to get to this point. I’m very excited,”“This is not a nice to have — to have this project, to have a new central library. This is a project that needs to happen and has been needed for a long time.
Even though the Frances Morrison Central Library was sold off with a possession date set for December 2026, former SPL CEO Carol Cooley said in September that they would not be moving out due to the delays, something that is covered in the sale agreement. “I’m extremely proud of everyone who has contributed to the redesign process, which has allowed us to maintain the original vision and cultural integrity of this building while moving forward with this project in a financially prudent manner,” said Beth Côté, the SPL’s interim CEO and director of libraries.Is downtown Saskatoon’s current Central Library good enough?
