It was a nice gathering and we spoke of books we were reading and what we thought of them, recommended books to each other. There were also cookies and tea. I wouldn't go here to browse, but if you need a quiet place, or are meeting friends for a low key chat, it's not a bad location.

The lights reminds me of moons and stars. Open concept space with comfy colourful seats and ledges that showcase books. You can also sit on the ledges below the moon and stars lighting as you can see in my pics. This is one fun library! They have 3D printing and button making for free on the daily!! There was a game by the kid section of the library and there was a sticker station (not sure if this is offered on the daily). The 3d printing allows you to make miniature toys and learn how to design your 3d art. There is a two hour limit on the 3d printing. Very enjoyable!

It's perhaps a bit unfortunate that the Rec Centre and Library are combined on one listing. Though…read moreit's under the same roof and all run by the city, a bad experience at one shouldn't affect the other. My kids attended 2 weeks summer swimming camp here. I don't know how much of a reflection it is on the centre since its seasonal work, but they probably had the best and most mature camp leaders they've had ever. Aside from that, a really nice facility with a very large pool and a fun big waterslide. I used the workout area one day, and though it wasn't massive, it was pretty good and I especially liked that they also had a number of fairly unique machines, such as self-propelling treadmills. But it wasn't just about the interior. Outside, there's a giant kids play structure, a splash pad, and even a small turf field - along with other things like basketball courts. They also have a covered area for a full sized rink, but it was useful during the summer camp as it was another activity area which being covered is a bonus during the summer heat. There's really nothing lacking here. FWIW, I did use the library once just for my own reading once. Nothing special about it, but nice enough and it wasn't as chaotic as others described. Hopefully they got better at managing noise since the last reviews.

This place has been the location of my childhood memories. Gore Meadows constantly works for the…read moregood of the community and offers so many services. Swimming lessons, party space rentals, practically any sport you can think of, a gym, and free equipment outside like a playground, basketball area, soccer field, e.t.c. The prices are dirt cheap, the library has free computers and nintendo switches for use, community events are hosted every day of the week, and during seasonal holidays they put up decoractions and have activities scattered around the place. I vividly remember the day before halloween where I entered the inflatable corn maze with my friends, thrashing around in there until the maze was noticeably shaking from the outside and we were asked to leave. Then we did it again a few hours later after visiting other activities and, most importantly, after the employees switched shifts. Gore has a snack bar which I've bought countless jamaican patties from, I've had a birthday party here, and I could never imagine my life without this place. The people who run it are innovative and kind, doing things like lighting up the basketball courts outside until 11pm, just because they know people play there. Visit this place immediately, you won't regret it. By the way, to book sport drop-ins, you can do it in person or online at cityofbrampton.perfectmind.com.

The Civic Centre Resource Library is the latest addition to the downtown Vaughan area. The library…read moreis still being constructed and growing its staff. I visited on the 2nd day of opening and the trees by the entrance weren't planted yet and there were 2-3 staff members at the front. Self checkout wasn't working yet. There is plenty of parking space outside. There are also two EV charging stations for the environmentally conscious. The only annoying thing about driving was that the entrance faces double-yellow lines, so you can only turn in (and out) going west. The inside of the library is really nice, with high ceilings and lots of windows that let in natural light. I noticed the start of a coffee bar, which should be a nice addition. There are tons of stocked shelves, but also quite a number that are still empty. There are many comfortable chairs throughout the library, including a few C-shaped chairs outside the children's books section. In the middle of the library is an outdoor courtyard to enjoy during the sunny summer months. One of the nice features of the library are the numerous semi-private rooms. The rooms are encased in see-through colored glass, so you can see if they're occupied. There's also a computer lab with small form factor HP desktops. For those with their own mobile devices or laptops, free wifi is also available.

I'm constantly blown away by what this library has to offer…read more Maybe all libraries these days offer this wide range of services and I'm out of touch, but either way, this library is AMAZING. Want to host a meeting? Book out a room. What to record a podcast? No problem. Want to use a 3D Printer? We got a few, son! Want to sit on a rooftop freaking patio and relax? Welcome home. Never mind the vast library of video games, Blu-Rays, audiobooks, this place has it all. I love that they even have exercise bikes set up so you can get a workout in while you read. Like what?? Insane. What a win for the city of Vaughan.

The Idea Exchange in Cambridge is, ultimately, a library. The employees and volunteers in place for…read morethe Cambridge Comic Arts Festival were all fantastically polite, warm, and helpful. The building itself is also quite beautiful, with lots of natural light and visual interest. I learned it has been renovate or added to four times! There are plenty of computers for people to use, and other technological tools -- some of which I didn't even recognize. There is ample seating for studying and even a private meeting room (though it is made of clear glass, so visual privacy is a no-go). It's also kid-friendly with plenty of children's books and hands-on activities for the youngest patrons. As someone who's worked in libraries in the past, I foudn Idea Exchange to be a real pleasure.

It's easy to walk around and take in the details, with plenty of spots for photos. The guided areas are informative, though some parts are crowded during peak hours.

Overall, a must-visit for history and architecture enthusiasts, with a calm, relaxed atmosphere.

As an educator, I'm always enchanted by how they bring history to life - the historic gardens are meticulously kept, and the artisans in the workshops are so passionate about their heritage crafts. I spent my last visit sitting near the old mill with my sketchbook, enjoying the peace and the smell of fresh woodsmoke. It's such a grounding experience, whether you're here for a quiet stroll or a family day trip. If you appreciate the simpler things in life and want to see a different side of Ontario's history, please visit! It's a true neighborhood treasure

Newly renovated. Beautiful new work areas with high atrium windows…read more I just love coming here now to get some serious work done. There are ample on-desk plugs and little lamps. Wooden tables. WiFi is slow but dependable and easy to connect to - no nonsense (although on mobile, the I Agree button is quite tiny; on desktop it's not a problem). Very nice place. Numerous, helpful staff. Very secure and safe place. Be careful moms - the men's bathroom has a strange sign that makes it look like it's a family bathroom (because it bears strong resemblance to family bathroom signage)- it's not- it's just a men's bathroom with handicap accommodations.

I used to visit this library often as an undergraduate student. Back then, it was called North York…read moreReference Library, which was a part of North York City Centre. Likely due to the amalgamation in the late 90's, the Toronto Public Library couldn't have two reference libraries. The Toronto Reference Library retained its name. This one changed its name to North York Central Library. I don't recall when the North York City Centre subway station changed its name to North York Centre. I remember frequenting Coles and the food court back then. I should go back. I'm sure everything looks and is different. I like this library a lot. It's spacious. If you need a place to quietly read a book or study, there were plenty of tables and chairs to do it. It's still the case to this day. It's a popular place for students to visit, do research, and study. I like that there are lots of floors to spread out. There were seven when I was last there. This library went through major renovations back in 2017. Three floors were affected. This section was reopened a year later. These days, it has auditorium, a Braille writer, magnifiers, and wheelchair-accessible furniture. It also has wifi. I always liked the DVDs, CDs, and other media formats. This library had the best selection. I miss having a Toronto library card. Back then, I used to live in Toronto before I moved to Markham with my parents. I then studied in Toronto, so having a library card was free. I neither work nor live in Toronto. I refuse to shell out money for a Toronto library card. Instead, I'm content with my Markham, Mississauga, and Brampton ones. (43)

I went there at around 11am and was happy to grab a table in by the windows. I stayed there till closing and must say that it is a good spot if you want to study in groups or individually.

There are a couple of levels inside; a small waiting area when you first get in, the main area with computers, books, and the service desks, a lower level with fiction books, and an even lower level with some more books and some studying desks. There are a few chairs scattered throughout, so you can settle down and read. It's not the largest library, so selection may be an issue, but for it's size it's a nice little place.
