Toronto Public Library has opened a sparkling new replacement for the old Albion branch in the Etobicoke area. The new Albion is “a community amenity..The books are still there but so are laptops, 3-D printers, video terminals and digital hubs. Talking and eating are ok but there are quiet study rooms too. Gone are the dimly lit interiors, replaced with open spaces filled with natural light and comfortable furniture.” Designed by Perkins + Will this 26.6 K SF, $15M branch library also “stands out as a unique presence on the streetscape“. Christopher Hume, Toronto Star
