Edmonton Public Library - Stanley A. Milner Library (Downtown)

Ladies and gentlemen, I've stumbled upon a place in Edmonton that's more loaded than a baked potato at a steakhouse. This place is like a treasure trove of creative resources, with an impressive lineup of tools and gadgets that will make even Tony Stark jealous. And the cherry on top? It's all completely FREE!I'm talking about a wonderland of books, 3D printers, recording studios, sewing machines, circuit workstations, and so much more. It's like the Swiss Army knife of community spaces, with something for everyone to enjoy.The only catch? Finding a parking spot can be trickier than finding Waldo in a sea of Waldos. But trust me, it's worth the effort. In fact, if it were up to me, I'd be taking my offspring there every week faster than you can say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."So if you're looking for a place to unleash your inner Picasso

The interactive displays are awesome. They rotate between space, ocean and dinosaurs. So amazing for kids and adults too.

I don't know why this security has problems with me when my right hip and leg with my knee cap is popping out. And have a hard time walking up to second floor. Ask him why he needs to follow me so close to me on the way up the stairs. Been going to library I was 16 teen to 58 year's old but charge my phone head-phone , off and on there. To scared of Security now... when I give them great reviews on how they handle the addicted and the difference of weird people coming in...

Anyone in the community who wants to study, develop, and socialise should definitely check out the Edmonton Public Library. Its dedication to variety and inclusivity makes it a valuable resource for the community, and its committed staff makes sure people receive excellent support and service.

I had a very quick stop. Just picked up a hold I had.Staff are friendly. They have security posted at the entrance.Usually some homeless people hanging out outside the door.Sometimes there are homeless women bathing" in the bathroom sink.I love the different classes available (have yet to check them out). Cozy seating upstairs.Elevator and ramp for wheelchair accessibility."

Inside there are many books and magazines, access to the Internet and a PC, there is a creative and recording studio (even a few) Very comfortable and clean, good and helpful staff who are happy to help

I been going here almost a decade. Yeah sure there are alot of homeless and people doing stuff in washroom. Stuff like that don't bother me. I don't think staff has ever said hi to me or even noticed me. Its all good.

Wow! The Edmonton central library is not the same I remember when I was a kid. A glorious building with so many things to do. Cooking classes, a maker space, and kids space… the Calgary downtown library is prettier for sure but the Edmonton library has better over all amenities.

Great experience, underground parking, Second Cup on location while you visit. They offer books, movies and games plus a gaming room with consoles, music recording rooms, stitching area, 3D printers, baking and fabrication classes and the list goes on. Worth while to visit!

There are a noticeable homeless individuals around, but the security staffs are present to maintain control and address any potential issues. Despite this, the overall environment is pleasant.
