Welcome to the Alice Turner Branch Library!

The Alice Turner Branch is our newest branch, replacing the Sutherland Branch in December 1998. It is named after Alice Turner McFarland who was a library employee for 37 years and chief librarian from 1981 to 1989.

It is the first library in Canada to be built to the standards of C-2000 construction, Canada's environmental building code. Features include large, south-facing windows, radiant heat flooring and lighting that automatically adjusts to the amount of natural light coming from the outside.

Branch Supervisor: Bryan Foran
