Toronto Public Library - Richview Branch

This library is in my local area. I have been to community events and meetings here. They have great staff that are easy to talk to and they are very helpful. Their hold pick-up section is open now for self pick-up. I used the Express Checkout option when I was last there it was really easy to use and fast. They have 3 levels at this location. Downstairs has children's area along with a nice meeting area that has a kitchen area. There are 3 or 4 meeting rooms upstairs as well as a learning hub. Check on their website to see what activities they have coming up.

Very nice library. Staff is courteous. Lots of parking. Nice washrooms.

What a great local library location! Lots of tech available (printing, 3D, computer terminals, etc) and plenty of cozy section with light to sit and read. If you have to work or study, there is always a great table or desk location often near a window. Very friendly staff as well. They also have a digital automated return slot which will provide you with instant return and receipt. It's stupidly fun to use LOL!

A really nice place to spend time. Lots of books and computers, nice comfy sitting places with wifi, time passes really fast when you’re in this library. The staff is very friendly and helpful! Good parking spaces. Elevator and handicap parking available. The kids area is really cool for the little ones with different activities. This branch offers different activities for everyone in the family.

I loved printing here, as the personnel was very welcoming and helpful to let know what to do when requested. All my questions and worries have been answered at all stances and I am likely to come back here every time for my printing issues.

I come here to study and always manage to sit near people who end up talking. Can never find a place where it is quiet! The security guard just walks around and says nothing - like it is normal to be speaking out aloud in the library.

A good library with a good selection of various books to read and rent. It's usually quiet, but it can be a bit noisy at times, especially when children and teens come in. Other than that, it's a good place to read or study quietly.

Best library in Toronto.Huge Children's department.Digital Innovation Hub with a 3D printer, recording studio and high spec computers with adobe creative cloud.Youth Hub for teens after school.Large collection and a lot of study space.

When compared to the Oakville library I go to weekly, this library is noisy. It's not a good place to focus or concentrate. I have observed library users: having loud cellphone conversations, watching movies without headphones, frequent loud notification sounds, crinkling potato chip bags, eating loud crunchy food, playing videogames with a loud and very incessantly clicky gaming mouse, singing with headphones on. Laughing and giggling. None of these people have books with them.To be fair, the Oakville library has similar dynamics, but they have solved the noisy people problem by having a room designated for quiet work.Libraries (not the librarians) just don't have respect for hard work anymore. I'm sure that eventually they'll stop supplying materials for hard work, and introduce group activities that push the boundaries of what a library is supposed to be. After all, this is becoming more of a community centre, and the users they're attracting don't seem to like hard focused work. It's so unfortunate.

One of the best public library in City Of Toronto, given the neighbourhood its in and the inhabitants. Staff are helpful and friendly.Highly recommend for the locals.
