Stony Plain Library

About 25 kilometres west of Edmonton lies the town of Stony Plain. Known for its rich western history, summer festivals, and some of the most beautiful and plentiful mural art in the province, the town has grown to a population of 18,000 people.

The town’s small library was running out of space, and staff were no longer able to create sufficient community programming to meet growing demand. They needed more room. The town purchased the main floor of a seven-storey mixed-use senior living project on Main Street. With a unique opportunity to integrate the multi-generational facility above, the new library had found a home.

Light fixtures are shaped like open books, and provide an acoustic treatment to the space, while panels on the upper wall pay homage to Stony Plain’s buildings on Main Street that accent the community.
