It was built to better serve the rapidly expanding community previously served by Glenmore Square Library. It is currently the only location in our system to have bookable meeting rooms available after hours, when the rest of the Library is closed. It was also the pilot location for Read and Play kits, take-home early learning development kits loaned to families across Calgary. Prior to development in 2006, the neighbourhood the Library is located in was a gravel quarry for over 50 years, which is how it got its name.

Under their guidance, we visited the Stoney Nakoda, Siksika, Tsuut'ina, and Métis Nations of Alberta, as well as the Aboriginal Friendship Centre of Calgary for input on making Indigenous visual and oral storytelling more prominent in Library locations. Indigenous Placemaking is the ongoing result. This initiative develops traditional and contemporary artworks that promote understanding of Indigenous peoples and cultures within Treaty 7 territory. The creation of these works inspires collaboration among artists of all disciplines, backgrounds, and experience levels. Having these pieces in the Library helps create an inclusive space for sharing and gathering of all Nations and communities to learn and grow together. Supported by Suncor Energy Foundation.
