My experience in this library was good. The staff was helpful and friendly. However, the building is a little small and can feel crowded at rush hours. Also, the children play area is next to the studying areas and the noise can be disturbing for people who prefer quiet spaces. Don't forget to bring your noise-canceling headphones!

A small library with a very small computer lab and a very small children's area. This library has a large selection of Chinese books. There are plenty of tables to sit at to study or use. There are a variety of book genres, including manga. The library is quiet and quite busy on a Saturday. Always kits of people milling about. Especially ever since the Malvern library branch's Leading to Reading Program temporarily moved over here. The Leading to Reading Program from the Malvern library branch has moved to the Burrows Hall branch as the Malvern branch is undergoing renovations. During certain days and hours of the week/weekend, the back of the library is reserved for the Leading to Reading Program students and volunteers. This has definitely made the library more alive an active. And has made the parents who have usually come to this library interested in the program. Overall, the library probably needs a renovation, it feels old and outdated. Other than that, the library seems like a fine library. There's a community centre attached to the library as well.
