Library Square Vancouver

Victoria Day Tour

Library Square Vancouver Overview

Library Square: The striking Library Square houses Vancouver’s central public library within a postmodern architectural marvel resembling a modern-day Colosseum, complete with a dramatic elliptical glass façade and distinctive rooftop garden that has become an iconic part of the city’s skyline. Inside Library Square, nine floors of knowledge and community spaces create a temple to learning with specialized collections, meeting rooms, reading areas, and technologies that serve Vancouver’s diverse population with resources in multiple languages. The central atrium of Library Square soars seven stories high, flooded with natural light from the glass roof and surrounded by bridges and staircases that connect different levels, creating a visually stunning interior space unlike any other in the city. Beyond its function as a library, Library Square serves as a vibrant community hub hosting author readings, cultural events, workshops, and exhibitions throughout the year, reflecting Vancouver’s commitment to lifelong learning and the exchange of ideas. Library Square’s unique design has made it a favorite filming location for movies and television, with its distinctive architecture appearing in numerous productions, adding Hollywood appeal to this intellectual landmark. Both our Vancouver Hop On Hop Off Bus and our city tour passes by the impressive Library Square, with our knowledgeable guides sharing interesting facts about this architectural wonder’s design and significance to Vancouver’s cultural landscape.
