Immerse yourself in images from the Library’s past, including the 1913 library in the Chisholm Block, the visit of the Prince of Wales to Edmonton in September 1919, and the opening of the Carnegie Library on Macdonald Drive in August 1923. There are also several from the Centennial Library, which opened in 1967 and was renamed the Stanley A. Milner Library in 1996 (in honour of his work as Chair of the Edmonton Public Library Board).
