Beautiful large building with lots of books of course but also different areas for studying, research, clean bathrooms. A safe, comfortable, attractive place to work when you dont have internet at home. I owe a lot to local libraries across Canada.

What an inviting library. From the cozy fireplace and comfortable seating area to all the little nooks and quiet spaces. The exposed wood beam construction gives a warm, cozy vibe. The staff are excellent and very knowledgeable about many different things.
From books and DVDs, to toys and computers, there is truly something here for everyone.
(There has been some talk recently about the library being unsafe, this is not true. The staff go above and beyond to maintain order and safety in the library at all times).

I love this library. The librarians are exceptionally helpful and really try to make the library an inclusive space that serves the community. I've booked rooms for personal and volunteer work, asked for recommendations for different books etc and they never fail to support on meaningful ways. I have a neurodivergent family and sometimes volume control and choice of words isn't exactly what you'd typically expect in a library setting but we have never failed to be welcomed with unassuming smiles.

Great facilities, fireplace is cute. Had an incident where a homeless couple were yelling at each other inside and the librarian talked to them diplomatically. The security guard didn't get involved or power trip, it was all dealt with in a very respectful way.
