Decent library with a good collection and lots of space. Staff is very pleasant and helpful, but you'll find lots of shifty characters in there too. It can feel a bit unsafe at times, but obviously the staff can't just throw people out for being strange. Bathrooms are surprisingly clean and the wi-fi only works if you have a library card. I doubt I'll be returning to this location. (Heads up: It'll be closed from June to September 2nd.)

Library is great. Only one guy who had a confused phone conversation on speaker. Many a What?" was had. More amusing than annoying. Would recommend."

you can easily kill some boring time here, of course! Other than that, if you need WiFi and internet, here is the place to go. you will get a temporary card, which is good for a year, bring your notebook, tablet, even work" on library's computer for minimum one hour with the extension time adding by "hour"(I was on for 2 1/2 hrs).I kinda of believe that library's free WiFi is "saver"than a random restaurant

I love the selection of books at the library and the staff is super nice and helpful. However, a lot of people are loud (ei: talking on the phone) or act out in tamper tantrums and it's extremely disruptive to people who come here to study and work. I understand they can't just easily throw people out but I think there should be a tighter control on who can access the library and a zero tolerance policy on disruptive behaviours.

Library? More like an open air madhouse. It's truly sad what this place has become. This is the kind of place where you are not allowed to speak to other people if you are studying but it's okay to inject drugs in the washroom. We live in an upside down world. I have nothing but respect to the workers of the library who have to put up with the decline of civilization.

Great section for children! Kids enjoyed, there are tons of children books to choose from. There is space for playing, reading, sitting, coloring, and lots to do. Fun scavenger hunt and several activity pages to do on on offer!
