A fresh new look In contrast to the current library, housed in the Confederation Centre of the Arts and built in the 1960s, Arsenualt describes the new space across the street to be modern, open and very spacious. "We'll be able to offer so many more services and so much more space for patrons to come in " said regional librarian Beth Clinton. "A lot of those accessibility issues in terms of physical access will be eliminated, which we are very excited about." Clinton said while the current library has some narrow staircases and small elevators, the new library is street-facing and all on one level.
