    This is a big and beautiful convenient library with lovely staff and a safe and quiet ambiance…read more First and foremost, I want to thank the ladies inside at the information and help desk who were so kind, silent and solid, patient and had a great sense of humor. They assisted me with getting my official library card and went the extra mile in getting me a Cantonese language guide that was not on the shelf or checked out. It took them just 4 minutes to go in the bank and locate it. The library is clean and has a lot of sunlight coming in. They have a good variety of books. The patrons at this location seemed respectful and followed the rules. Loved the little Friends of the Library bookstore to the left upon entry that sells vinyls, DVDs and books to support the library. Love the indoor and outdoor parking. Love that the Starbucks is within walking distance as are some lovely restaurants and stores in Victoria Gardens. Loved this Library!!!!!

    Huge library, with laptops to check out and work on. Printing is $0.10 per page (sucks). I get it…read morethough, prevents wasting paper and ink. There's also a DVD section to check out disc and there are also private study rooms. I believe I saw like 3 or 4 rooms. I thought the rooms were pretty cool, since the library isn't always as quiet as you'd like it to be. Getting a card is pretty simple....just present proof of residency in the city and you'll have a card.

    What a gem! This historic and architecturally stunning library is a must-visit for anyone who…read moreappreciates beautiful details and community spaces. From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by gorgeous stained glass windows and thoughtful touches everywhere you look. There are several inviting reading and learning rooms, plus a dedicated children's section that's perfect for little ones. Outside, there's a small but lovely garden with plenty of seating; ideal for enjoying a book on a nice day. I especially loved discovering the board where anyone can post a book review. It's a great way to engage with fellow readers and get new recommendations. My husband and I make it a point to support local businesses and community resources when we travel; signing up for a library card and following their event calendar is one way we connect with each new place. This library is truly a treasure, and we highly recommend stopping by whether you're a resident or just passing through!

My fiancé loved how busy the library and gardens were just at 10am opening time, seats filled, people typing away with their morning coffee planning their day out. I saw how the library assisted people from all words of ages and backgrounds, especially children and I look forward to bringing my family to this library. This would be my home library.

    This local library is truly one of the gems of the community. From the moment you step inside,…read morethere's a calm, welcoming energy that makes you want to stay awhile. The space is bright, organized, and thoughtfully designed and every section feels purposeful, from the cozy reading nooks to the tech-friendly study tables. One thing that I find here that is truly awesome is their bookstore. For me, I've bought several books here that I used for scraping in my travels and I absolutely love coming here to buy books for cheap that I will just end up scrapping. You'll find most books are no more than one dollar and amongst all the local public library bookstores that are offered, I have found this one, the largest and the cheap cheapest. Love it! Just be mindful, they only accept cash when making payments. In addition, you can print things out, but you will have to pay using cash only. The library also offers great programs with creative workshops that make it more than just a place for books, but a true community hub. You can find a monthly calendar located inside of different events that are ongoing. Parking can be very hard here when busy. I haven't figured out why they haven't opened the parking structure that's adjacent to it. It's been sitting empty for a months now. I always dread when I'm gonna be going to the library because parking is very hard here so just be prepared spaces are limited. It's one of those rare places where you can slow down, think clearly, and leave feeling just a little bit better than when you walked in. Bathrooms super clean!

    I was looking for a 2018 test book and the newest edition among the network of 30 other branches…read morewas pretty old (2012). Apparently, there were a bunch of other ppl on the list waiting for the same test book, too, So, I said, "Just pour me on the list anyways. Hopefully, I'll get it before the test comes." I ordered it and hoped for the best. As we were walking out, she called us back and said, "I know that they we only carry the 2012 edition, and that's pretty old, but you know what, I am going to request they get the latest (2018) edition and I will put you first on the list to get it. Wow! I was so surprised! Thank you to Liz for offering such great customer service! On our way out we checked out 30 books, and in return, received two free Dr. SEUSS hats, a really nice big reusable tote bag (Pac Man?) to hold all of our library books, and an In-N-Out card for our kids to fill out and earn 3 free burgers for reading 15 books each! Score!!!!!

No one is being told to quiet down. Kids are literally screaming . This library is so nice . So unfortunate. I came here to study in the quiet and came to a circus. You can only rent out the rooms for an hour at a time which makes no sense if nobody is on the list after me why am I being escorted out the room . To put my name on the list and go right back in? I won't be back . They get 3 stars for cleanliness. It's a really nice library apart from the noise
