I have spent COUNTLESS hours here volunteering every summer, and I know this library in and out…read more It's a great place to study, use the internet, read, and bring kids for the library's great array of programming and activities which you can find out about on their website. There are three floors, the first is mostly for kids and teens, the second and third for quiet-er study and reading. Lots of tables, books, and comfy chairs means there is always a place available. If you can't find something you're looking for through the catalogue, ask a librarian, they are all very friendly and know where to find everything. The library has a huge collection of books, DVDs, government reference materiels, newspapers, magazines, board games, historial-London documents, decades of newspapers on microfilm, music, accessible reading materiels, computers, unemployment services, etc. If you are getting hungry or need a caffeine boost, a Little Red Roaster is on the first floor and offers decent coffee and snacks. I have been bothered once or twice by creepy strangers, but I've also been a camp counsellor watching 20 kids at a time run around the library and read books - so I have no doubt about it being a very safe place and library security is very helpful and available.

I love this place because it's so much more than books. They have rotating devices that can be used…read morewithin the library. Recently they had a sewing machine available. Imagine how it would change a child's life to be able to try out such a piece of machinery. They offer so many helpful services. You can browse for items online and put holds on them. When you go into the library they will have your items set aside. You can check them out yourself or one of the very helpful staff will do it for you. Big selection of DVDs and CDs including recent releases. Lots of interesting programming options such as computer classes and meditation. Art exhibits, too. Be sure to take a moment to look at the exquisite stained glass windows. Closed Mondays.

Very compact design but efficient. Staff very friendly and helpful. Entrance is accessible. Just…read morewish the branches got a bit more when it comes to community resources. Not everyone can hop to Central. They do well with what they got.

Local library branch for the Pond Mills area. Very quiet but has a great selection for its size…read more There isn't much programming for this branch listed in the library magazine but the Glen Cairn Community Resource Centre hosts events here but they are listed elsewhere. They should list it in the magazine though anyway so more people know. Having been to other branches, I do feel envy at how big they are. Sure you could have books delivered to the branch, but it's nice to be able to just go in and pick a book off the shelf.

The staff at Western Libraries is on the whole, quite good, and they pride themselves on service…read more Every once in a while, I've met some dolts working at Weldon, Western's main library. One librarian claimed that their first edition of Paradise Lost was over 500 years old (funny, since it was written in the 1660s); another treated me like a total moron when I tried to report a missing book, then screwed up the search request. The collection is pretty good at Weldon (4th biggest university library in Canada, as they keep telling everyone), but the building sucks. It has the slowest elevators of any library I've spent time in, and you can never tell if they're going up or down. The design of the stacks floors is bad, a kind of offset cross floorplan, which makes it hard and inefficient to find things.

Love this little library. The librarians are real helpful. Not much on there but you can always…read morehave books delivered there from other locations. Don't expect to get a computer too often as they are always booked. They get to know you by name here if you come often.
