The Third Book of Remembrance commemorates the members of Canada’s Armed Forces from Halifax Regional Municipality who have lost their lives while in service to Canada since 1953. The book was completed in February 2015, and given to the library's collection by the Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command of The Royal Canadian Legion.
The graphics, illumination, and calligraphy were designed and executed by Fran Ornstein of Chester Basin, applying the Zapf Renaissance Antiqua font family. The book was printed on 100lb Cougar Super White paper by Halcraft Printers of Halifax; digital printing was done by Bounty Print of Halifax. The book was hand bound by Ruth Legge of West Brooklyn in Chieftain goatskin with endpapers made from marbled paper, created by Lucie Lapierre of Chateauguay, Quebec. The slip case is made from Eskaboard and buckram, lined with Archivart paper.
The two other Books of Remembrance on public display are the Great War Book of Remembrance and Second World War and Korean War Book of Remembrance. The Central Library replaced the aging Halifax Memorial Library, which was rapidly deteriorating.
