The staff aren't the best here. I had my shoes and socks soaked in the rain, so I removed my shoes where I was sitting and it was raining outside so I couldn't even go out and this librarian said I couldn't remove my shoes even though they were wet. So I had to sit through wet feet until the rain stopped. I wish people could be more understanding. I never went there again.

The Palmerston branch is a welcoming little library which hosts a full calendar of workshops and community events. It has a functional community theatre in the basement. The Palmerston Library needs better bike racks. If any library administrators are reading this, I would suggest Peak Racks. You can see one behind Kilgour's/Seekers, just south of Bloor and Borden St.

  • Nancy Nguyen

The library is quite small with very few seats to study efficiently. However, if you are working on a quick assignment, or need a place to go on the internet for a bit, then this is a good library to do that in! Also, keep in mind that the subway is nearby so when it goes underneath, the floor shakes time to time and can be loud!

  • WalkingZoomies

This library is small with limited seating. I used the kids’ seats as it was facing the window and the only place where you can get sunlight. It also has a washroom. The staff are very efficient and approachable. This is a nice place to study but go early to get seats.

  • Binh Lam

People in there is very friendly. The first time I’ve come there, I didn’t know what to do in the library, they introduced me about library, guided me how to make the library card or borrow books. It makes me a deep impression. I very like it.

  • Jordan Smith

I came here to sign up for a library card and the lady at the counter was so friendly and sweet! She had such a lovely energy and smile and was so thorough in explaining the whole library system and answering all my questions. :

  • Le Can

I was having a hard time trying to print my document but thanksfully, Andrew has been a great help. He went all the way to help me get the printed document and I really appreciate the effort. Definitely recommended this branch!

  • Sabhie Qadeer

Very small location, but it's functional. It's never busy. The hours are a little awkward, so you might have to wait around if you're looking to get some work done, but then you might as well walk to a nearby coffee shop.

【For Japanese】 近くのDufferinにあるToronto Public Libraryよりも狭いです。 平屋で長テーブル3つ、パソコンデスク5台程度。 電源、Wi-fiは完備されています。 地下鉄の線路の真上にあるのか、常に地鳴りとガタガタ音が鳴り響いています。 2駅先ですが、Toronto Public Libraryのほうが快適に感じました。 トイレは男女共有のユニバーサル式のみです。

  • Treffyn Koreshoff

I'm glad this library exists, and they do a good job of balancing books and desk space, but it's still a bit small and full the couple of times I've been there.

  • Priscilla Hessels

Great staff! Very helpful...fantastic librarians! Cozy and small. Good programming for young children. Conveniently located close to transit.

  • TooTrue

Nice small library. Doesn't have wheelchair access though. Does have book drop-off. Great quite place to study and read books.

  • Jonathan Bell

I place holds on library books all the time that are delivered to this location, and the process is always quick and efficient

  • Matt Li

A smaller library with less books, but it has computers you can use and the tables charging ports. Helpful staff and well lit.

  • Justine Van Veen

Smaller branch but well laid out; easily accessible washroom facilities; good selection of dvds. Oh, and they have some books.

  • Anon Tablet

One of the smallest TPL branches. Not the best for quiet reading: no soundproofing and constant rumbling from the subway.

  • Google Commentator

It’s a cute neighbourhood library but it’s not too great if you want to have quiet time as there’s lots of noise.

  • mustafa erdur

It’s a nice place, but staff chitchats all the time, so it’s really hard to focus and read something …

  • Mariam S

Small and not a variety. The employees look at you as if you're going to steal books :/

  • Zoe Chik

One of my favorite branches even though it's small
