Superintendent Charles Constantine set up the first lending library in 1901 at the North West Mounted Police barracks on the North Saskatchewan River. The men voluntarily paid a monthly fee to borrow any of the eighty books. By 1905, Constantine was transferred. The stock of books had grown to 400. 100 years later and the library is now in a modern facility.
