Jennifer Lynn

Friendly front desk staff - easy ro get a library card. They explain all their services, policies, and online items. Very open and specious areas. Lots of tables to sit at and corners to read. Quite a few computers to use and a large childrens section upstairs.

Kristina T

Great service! Sound precautions for Covid being taken.

Gorgeous library! I didn't have too much time to explore around so I was unable to find everything I was looking for, however that was my own fault. I think what I needed may have been upstairs because I only perused the lower level. The amenities at this library are wonderful. Lots of spacious seating areas, public computers, self-check out stations, they even have device charger stations near some of the seating areas! I haven't been to any of the programs the library offers, but their offerings are plentiful and there are many I can't wait to attend. They have programs for babies, children, teens, adults, seniors and even disabled folks may find some great programs to meet new people. Once you have a library card it opens up so many tools to use for digital materials. I will never be without something to read and it's so handy having them accessible from my device. Hands down the best library and services that I have been too, and I've been to Manitoba, Ontario, and now Alberta! (The coffee shop located to the right of the library lobby area makes better fraps than Starbucks too! I believe it is "Esquires") The only thing I will say is the library's app could use a facelift, the library is so modern that I feel the app for them should be just as modern ;)

Beautiful building, underground parking is nice in the winter. Good selection of books and what they don’t have you can order in. A really nice kids section that’s on a whole different level, like really they have another level with it which is nice for safety for kids. Everything is quite modern and makes for easy check out. Staff is really nice and helpful especially Brandi

I really like this library because in the winter they have the fire place on and its a very cozy place to sit and read. the large study tables are great and have enough computer plug ins to accommodate several people at once. Great staff and front desk helpers too.

The Redstone boat Minecraft and other games

Very Modern And lots of good books and movies for kids and adults!

Casey McLean

Such a great place to study and relax. Whether it's a group project or just some alone time, the public library has so much room and lots of different spaces to use. I love the hours and that it is open late for most of the weekdays, it's so convenient. It's too bad the underground parking is no longer free, but at least there's more parking available now at the back.

We love the library. There current summer reading camp has my kids trying to take every book they can touch! If books we want aren't in they are happy to order it in from another branch (taking about a week) the librarians are wonderful and chatty and always willing to help

It’s a shame so few people go here especially since it’s free.

My now 25 month old son enjoy going to the library every second weekend, and today started out with the same excitement. He was excited to place his previous books in the return slot and then make his way to the kids section, he's always so proud to show me the way. All he kept saying was "daddy! Lil blue truck" as we were going to find the next book in the little blue truck series. While we kept to ourselves away from everyone else and I enjoyed the fact that my toddler loved books instead of electronic devices we were approached by security. As he walked up to us, obviously ignoring the 6ft social distancing rule, he informed us that my son was required to wear a mask and attempted to hand me one with his bare hands. So in this world we live in I ask myself, at what cost do we forfeit logic, disobeying certain rules simply to follow other rules. First who was he endangering now that he's 2 that he wasn't just a few weeks ago? Second, there was nobody even in our section of the library. Finally the security guard didn't social distance himself and requested i put a mask on my son that he held in his hand that I had no idea when the last time he washed them. Yes I know some 25 month kids are willing to wear a mask and good for them, but every parent knows if a child that age doesn't want to wear one, he is not going to wear it. So I just wanted to take a moment to thank that security guard for enforcement the rules that are now robbing my child of his love of books even tho he posed no threat to anyone, he just wanted to get another little blue truck book to enjoy at bedtime tonight. Thanks for that, you've done your job well today sir, I hope your proud of yourself.

I was there writing some exams and the person that was "helping" me seemed very disorganized and not understanding about the time we are supposed to have to write the exam. I have enough stress when I am writing exams, I do not need that extra stress.

Kaitlyn McMurray

Go to the library. Learn to paint. Attend a giant screening of a newly released movie. Listen to a fascinating lecture on King Arthur. Use a computer and catch up on Facebook. Order Audiobook so you have all the podcasts you could possibly want. Oh, and there's books too. Seriously, this place is amazing!

Cheryl Steidel

Fantastic, as always. Great staff

Gavin Olin

I recently used the library for their proctoring services. Quick and easy sign up for the service and a reasonable price. The proctor Selena was pleasant and helpful and the Rotary training room we used was a nicely equipped little room. I will have to find out if we can use that room for our own uses.

Chef's Stories

Excellent customer service ????

Darren Pedersen

I don't have access to a computer but when o needed use of one the library was convenient along with very helpful staff. I also like the underground parking as well

Linda T

Beautiful design and a fun second floor for kids! The green furry felt carpet on the otherwise steel staircase is such an unexpected element it's a joy to walk on. Absolutely a joy to see and experience! Lofty and light - a celebration of literacy and architecture!

cory noseworthy

Went there for the COVID-19 testing. Very fast and friendly.

Nicholas Negrin

A fan of the library as it always provides a quiet place to study during exam time, even despite it getting especially busy during that time.

Woojin Hwang

Well compacted area with spacious layout of facilities. Building itself has modern look.
