The internet is having some fun at this Edmonton library's expense
Love it or hate it, Edmonton’s Stanley A. Milner Library is getting a brand new look.
The library has been seeing some big changes since it began renovations in January 2017, and while there is still about half a year to go, according to a May post on the Edmonton Public Libraries website, people have already been vocal about the new designs.

The building’s exterior has transformed into what some are calling “tank-like,” though, with another six months left before the library officially re-opens its doors, some critics may be a little early to their judgement — only time will tell.
Here’s what people are saying about the Stanley A. Milner Library’s new look:
