I felt the librarians were the loudest. Can you please speak lower whenever you show customers or speak to your colleagues? Some people who study here are not quiet at all. The librarians don't care, or at least not interrupted them, but this would affect most of the people studying here. I also noticed in many libraries, the librarians didn't say to any people who spoke very loudly. Why didn't you take the responsibility to help protect the environment of your library? I don't understand why these days people are so selfish, and even including staff at the library. By the way, the staff door should be fixed or it sounds like a machine running whenever somebody goes out or comes in.

For the many years I've lived in the area I have not discovered the library until a few days ago. Anyways I went there to print and found out you have to pay . That was new to me since I've been printing for free at other library locations(this one was closer to me) it isn't expensive only $0.15 per sheet. The staff there were helpful all the way and guided me through everything, in the end the papers came out okay except for the ink smudges :(

  • Brayden Zhang

One of the better small libraries in Toronto. The library is quiet most of the time and can be a good place for one to study or work. However, make sure to avoid coming here between 3 PM to 5 PM on weekdays since hordes of students from the neighboring Zion Heights Middle School come here to (loudly) play video games.

As a student who goes to school from 9-3pm, the hours are not great. The seating is also quite limited so I would advise getting there near opening. The staff are really nice and don't mind if you bring in some food from the nearby Tims, lots of plugs for computers and good internet.

Near my daughter 's school , so I can study there when I coming back from school sometimes, The bad thing about that is the hours of opening library . For me it's hard to manage the time . The library is better to be openefrom 10am everyday .the stahh here are good

  • Usman Sikandar

This is not a library but more of a theater. Every few minutes a new actor makes its grand entry by slamming the doors. The staff welcomes them with such enthusiasm that its heard all around. Often u will hear kids crying, someone eating

  • Female Anonymous

I just moved to the area I have been to this library several times. I cannot express in words how helpful and courteous the staff is, its nothing compared to what I have experienced before at other libraries in the city. Thank you.

  • Balramjit singh Ahluwalia

Not a library, but definitely a fish market. Even the working staff don’t know they’re working for a library so they need to maintain silence for readers.

  • 汤小天

I live around and it's a pretty good place to hang out with your friends! Because you can talk as you want and bring any food you like and eat.

  • Ordinary Person

Limited selection of books and the computers are always booked. Washrooms smell absolutely horrid. Otherwise, a typical library experience.

  • J D

A great small library near the pickle barrel plaza. Close by walking distance from schools for studying or for reading the newspaper

  • Kevin Doiron

Small branch of an excellent library system. Decent DVD selection, helpful staff. Limited hours, like many of the smaller locations.
