    This Library is located in the beautiful Chinese Cultural Centre and is a library of Chinese Culture.  This place is ultra important for Calgary and more so for Canada as it houses the most modern collection outside of Beijing and Taipei.  It incorporates over 25,000 volumes and even has a computer area for watching Chinese DVDs and for listening to Cads.

    The space is very quaint and quite peaceful; it houses books in Mandarin, Cantonese and in English and even has an extensive movie library.

    The bulletin board is an opportunity to entertain courses you to expand your knowledge about Chinese culture. I was particularly interested in a paper cutting and tai chi workshop.

    So not only is it a great resource for books it also is a good location to learn about cultural events. Amazing I didn't even know it existed in Calgary.
