Small local library. Free wifi. Scanning and printing available, printing is 25 cents a page for black and white. All the librarians are kind and helpful. No late fees.

The Banff Public Library is a Banff cultural institution. Yes thé collection is excellent, the reading room is inspiring and bright featuring an EXCELLENT collection of magazines. The best part of the Banff Public Library is the friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lové this place, it’s my oasis in Banff!

Honestly the nicest people you will ever meet. Such an amazing library. Comfortable and quiet. They have a really quick and efficient printer service as well. Highly recommend.

Stopped in so our 7-month old could wiggle around and burn some energy before the long drive home. This children’s nook was exactly what we needed, and would suit children up to several years’ old. Includes some kid-sized furniture, play mats, wooden toys, two kid computer stations, and (of course) plenty of books!! We will make this a regular stop when visiting Banff with our littles in tow.

Friendly library with helpful staff. Plenty of seating for people with laptops, most have power close by. Printing is 25 cents a sheet and easy to do. Wifi is open (no password), solid, and fast but seems to block VPNs. I couldn't get two I have to work. No library parking, public parking in the area is a real challenge but with a little patients you should be able to find a spot or better yet ride the bus.

(Translated) Perfect location. Very open, calm, bright and friendly atmosphere. You immediately feel welcome. Library staff are very courteous and supportive. There are many connections for your own laptop. (Original) Top Lage. Sehr offene, ruhige, helle und freundliche Atmosphäre. Man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Bibliotheksangestellte sind sehr zuvorkommend und unterstützend. Es gibt viele Anschlüsse für den eigenen Laptop.

Love this little library. It isn't the largest you've ever seen, but the atmosphere is super cozy and welcoming. If you don't find what you want on the shelf, as about an inter-library-loan. The staff are super accommodating and it's worth the trip.

Duncan Nixon

Little library with friendly staff and a quiet atmosphere. They have free wifi, which unfortunately sometimes shuts down for couple seconds. My devices having difficulties to reconnect after the shut down.
