@mariamzohouri @Laura_Dudas I too hope to see this inquiry be inclusive of @JimWatsonOttawa, his staff, and councillor's unacceptable social media attacks on citizen groups (like @Bookmarkthecore), transit commissioners (like @smwgilbert) and the civically active citizens of Ottawa. #ottcity

The *big reveal* this Thur. Jan 23 between 4-8 pm ⁦@OttawaArtG⁩ ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…

@GregEqEd @_BAnQ No. It will be 300 metres (slightly uphill & outdoors) from Pimisi station.

@Bookmarkthecore @_BAnQ is the new Ottawa Central Library being connected to an LRT station?

Repeating: it is connected indoors to a Metro station. Lots of lessons here in MTL for central libraries to be popular. Grand Biblio ⁦@_BAnQ⁩ .4/ end

The library’s design is anchored by the staircase & elevators in the centre. With natural light through wood slats. Feels comfortable here ⁦@_BAnQ⁩ 3/

Books upfront, lots of seating & a cafe on main floor. Lunchtime on Friday, this place is busy. People are reading, studying & borrowing. ⁦@_BAnQ⁩ 2/

Inspiration from Montreal’s Grand Bibliotheque downtown @_BAnQ 1) accessible welcoming entrance - human scale. Located at Metro station #designmatters 1/

@OttawaCitizen Great ideas in this in-depth piece @tayblewett @OttawaCitizen. Collections are still the core of libraries. Showcasing books, other items to borrow & reference materials will always matter too. Big idea #11? 👌
