Nice clean library. Philosophy section is very small.

Nice small little library, which includes a pop-up art gallery. Collection of books is extensive enough to have something for everyone. Donation-based book sale is a wonderful plus. Further cleanliness of the washrooms and updating of the children's play areas is necessary though. The toys look like they have been heavily used for a decade (which they probably have) and presents a strong concern for bacterial build-up.

This place is hardly a library. Yes lots of books and resources, but it's more of a social club than anything. Same people come here everyday to chit chat, some people use the non soundproof rooms for video calls, others use it for dates. Children run around unsupervised and the staff kicks you out 5 minutes before they close. Not a place to come if you expect the traditional quiet rules of the library to apply. Edited: Quality response to my initial review, appreciate the information as my expectations may be outdated. To clarify the staff on weekdays are very pleasant with some minor changes on the weekends. The facility is well run.

A really beautiful, clean and neat library. The view on the back of the building is great. It gives off a really relaxing and calm vibe. Perfect to read. Please feel free to follow me on IG & YouTube: Mandilicous Tiktok & Fb: Missmandilicous for food & lifestyle posts in GTA

I love these modern public libraries that have been relatively recently designed and built with good architectural form and lots of light. This one has semi private study rooms along the side of the building facing the lake. On a beautiful sunny day, it’s amazing to sit there doing work online. The internet is plenty fast and easy to use. Definitely recommend!
