Reviews

  • Cata E

Very nice and cozy place for going to work with my laptop. Plenty of outlets to plug it and decent wifi. The only reason why I am not giving 5 stars is because in the summer time the AC is waaaayyy too cold! I need to take extra clothing to go there.

  • Christopher Neufeld

A nice, quiet place. It’s small, but well stocked, and you can request books from other libraries be delivered so you can pick them up. The reading room in the back is gorgeous and very cozy for sitting and reading.

  • Jennifer Carlson

I love this library; however, one of the librarians is obnoxiously loud and is not very respectful in regards to cardinal rule of libraries being a quiet place to read and study (except some children).

  • Some Dude

Haven't been since before Covid19, and was closed for renovations. The place is quite nice. Quiet, and small layout. Beautiful new reading room added! The staff were friendly and incredibly helpful.

  • Sita Alena

I like the space for studying, but am really annoyed at one of the librarians who converses with her co-workers loudly, knowing there were people studying and reading in the library at the time.

  • Darius W. Meikle

This is a beautiful old library in the city, it does have a smaller selection of books, but the prettiest library I’ve been to, and a great place to go just to get some reading done.

  • Ciarra O'Reggio

It's a cozy little library that has friendly staff and a decent selection. However, if you require a quiet space to study I'd recommend going somewhere like the Millenium instead.

  • Dexter

Like other libraries in the city this one has tones of services in addition to lending books. If you want a book they don’t have they can order it from another library.

  • Glenda Chief

Helpful/friendly staff in person & over the phone. Orders from other libraries are processed within a week or less on most items available.
