Charlottetown Library Learning Centre “People love the new space. They find it welcoming and feel like they can come and spend the entire day (many do).” A NEW CHAPTER
By Jacqui Chaisson Photos Story Thorburn
A community library is so much more than a place to borrow books and the new Charlottetown Library Learning Centre’s (CLLC) 40,000 square feet has quickly become a gathering place. The project entered the planning stages in the summer of 2019 and construction commenced spring 2020 to be completed in July 2022. Opening day was July 18, 2022. “Dawn Alan of Downtown Charlottetown Inc., the Board of Charlottetown Library Learning Centre Inc. and the staff and management of the Confederation Centre Public Library were instrumental in the planning the project.” Beth Clinton, Regional Librarian for PEI Public Library Service said, “Project manager was the Charlottetown Area Develop Corp., and the architect was 9Yards Architecture.”
