Hamilton Public Library - Turner Park Branch

This is a really amazing library centre. It begins the minute that you walk through the door of the main entrance. This building contains everything needed to train up a child, help care for the elderly and disabled, and to keep all of your family healthy, educated and entertained. The reason it far surpasses all other libraries is that it is located within a YMCA. Not only can you borrow books and movies when your there but you can go swimming, take an educational course, become a lifeguard , or relax in their wonderful hot tub. There are plenty of sports activities offered in the large gymnasium and daily activities in the swimming pool like aqua fit classes, and swimming lessons. There is even a lovely little coffee shop just outside of the library doors. Everything is modern, beautiful, well organized wheelchair accessible and clean.The library is located within the same building with plenty of parking in the back of the building. The service staff are always friendly, courteous and extremely helpful. Borrowing books and movies is made so fast and easy with really modern computerized check -in and check-out service. Computers are available for daily use by the public. Educational and recreational activities and classes are offered every day of the week. I love that you can borrow numerous movies at a time for a full week. It is a really great place for everyone in your family. Thank you so very much Hamilton Public Library for years of excellent service to the people of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

This place is great ! Firstly The staff is very friendly, informative, and welcoming. I am a business owner and during COVID I need a place to get work done outside of my home. This is the perfect place. It is bright, clean, quiet, and safe. They have a great quiet area equipped with a therapy light and fire place...just to make it a little more cozy and homey. For those who aren't motivated and need a little extra brightness. If you need to get out of the house and get to a nice, quiet place. I highly recommend coming here.

Staff are knowledgeable and welcoming.Great layout, well organized and clean.There are computers and a charging station.Lots of comfy chairs to sit in.I didn't give it 5 * because it's closed on Sunday.

It is always nice to go to my branch. Staff is very helpful and polite. Printing services work very well.

Easily my favourite library branch in Hamilton! Especially great for bringing my 6 year-old after school or on weekends.Love that the children's play area has a glass partition, so you can let your child(ren) play independently while monitoring them from outside (and do your own reading too!).The building also has a family YMCA and a small cafe outside the library entrance for light snacks. There is also a small children's playgound beside the building, and ample parking space.

Very nice atmosphere... comfortable chairs. The staff is always available, friendly and helpful.

The woman who gave us information at the library was very kind. She took care of us for a long time and was very kind to my children and me. We were very happy to visit the library and be there. It was a clean, orderly and calm environment.

Staff was helpful and friendly. A must visit if you can.,

Organized and the librarian that helped my brother and I was very nice and helpful

Teenagers are destroying this place. We changed libraries because of it. Doing back flips in the library, rowdy loud and disrespectful. Allowed to act this way unchallenged. There is security there now but it's becoming unsafe. Bunch of pack animals ruining it and disrupting everyone actually trying to study and learn.
