Maybe I can get my name in one of the libraries after all... Though it is in Orillia and not one of…read moremy neighbourhood libraries, but a room can be name after me? The new Orillia library located downtown is pretty impressive. A lot of open spaces with high ceiling and huge windows. Love all these seating options: armchairs, sofas, bar stool... Free Wifi access but you will need to ask for a password word. Orillia Library seems to be doing quite aggressively with their donation campaign. With $1000+ donation will get your name on the library's donation wall and $100,000 can get have the lobby named after you... Parking though is not free since it is right in downtown Orillia.

It almost feels like it should be an art gallery and not a library, because the books almost seem lost in the place. They do have a good selection of books, DVDs and books on tape for checking out. They have a large number of computers for public use, and we were able to use the system to help us find what we were looking for. One drawback is that it wasn't totally obvious at first where the rest of the books were, which is up on the 2nd floor. Up there there is a very nice "quiet" study section, as well as private rooms that can be reserved for research. One of my favorite things was they also had a seed library, which is something I haven't ever seen in a public library before! So if you need free wifi and a good place to study or quietly read, this seems like a wonderful place to do it.
