As much as I love the location, friendly staff and quiet study rooms I won’t be back. I’ve been twice for the after hours to focus on school work in the quiet study rooms till midnight which was great. After today arriving at 4pm and only lasting 1 hour and no work done due to all the noise, loud staff conversations, loud old people or kids playing distracting videos it was too much and it’s more of a cafe than a library at that point…. Out of three study rooms for work to be done one was occupied by an elder lady with a walker who was just using the room to sit in which I don’t think should be acceptable when it’s a quiet space for someone to do work, this really bothered me but the worker told me pretty much I’d have to wait for her to leave which wasn’t gonna be soon. I’d like to have a quiet space during the day to go to and sadly this won’t be a spot for me anymore.

My kids and I caught up with the bookmobile at Gage Park on Sat, Aug 6th. The staff were awesome. Brett (from the Dundas location) had our kids into relevant books straight away, with freezies no-less. It was a surprisingly cool event. We left with 2 check-out books and one free book about going into Grade 2. Awesome. My 6 year-old read in the car and at home that night, finishing one book. She was very proud. It was a very memorable event which I expect to further encourage our reading efforts.

Great library with friendly staff but they can be a little loud with their conversations if you are trying to work at the tables near the front desk. Not sure if noise can be controlled but I would rather have white noise than hearing conversations. Spacious and pretty place with lots of resources. Wish there was more table space for the busier hours, but really appreciate nighttime study halls. Go-to library for students!

  • Jason Beckett

We really enjoyed our time here today. We took a 4 year old and a 2.5 year old to the imagination station. These are 10-12 every Saturday and they are completely free. They have stations of Legos and other building toys, origami stations and a big supply of all different and creative toys for kids. The librarians were very helpful and I would highly recommend taking your kids there on a rainy Saturday morning :)

I went to the library to use a computer to print a document. All the available computers that I could see were in use. I went up to the front desk to ask if there were any other computers I could use to print. I spoke with Leanne and she was so thoughtful and offered to print my document from her computer at reception. Thank you Leanne for going above and beyond!

I cannot express my gratitude to the staff at this library. I came to this location to get something printed and was having some trouble, but the kind woman working the front desks was so helpful. She went above and beyond to get our documents printed. I never knew a visit to the library could be so pleasant.

  • Jasmine Sechrist

Library has been renovated & is really nice. Offers a lot of unique services such as a video room you can use with equipment and related adobe computer programs. I think they have a room where you can record music too. I'm a big fan of libraries, and the Dundas library is a really comfortable place to study.

Staff are very helpful and courteous. The space for children on the lower level is engaging, and the staff person there has been very helpful suggesting new titles based on prior reading experience. The magazine and seating areas are nicely spaced out and quiet.

  • Debbie A Ellis

The day I visited Monday February 27, 2023 the computers were slow. Kudos to the librarians for having signs posted at the entrances and at the computers warning that the computers were not running fast and that the issue was being worked on.

I have literally raised my 2 children at this branch. Now grandchildren are enjoying the library. Feels like coming home. Whole staff is welcoming and helpful. Thank you

Unresponsive phone number. Called four times, sounds like someone picks up but all you hear is machinery going in the background, even if you call out no one answers

  • Evelyn LaMarsh

This was my library as a kid, and now I love taking my own kids to this library! It's especially wonderful for kids as the whole basement is a dedicated kids area!
