Jihwan Park

(Translated) A neat library. Friendly staff, friendly security Parking spaces are located next to the library. Good accessibility by bus or seatrain. It is also large and has many books. There is not enough space to sit and study. (Original) 깔끔한 도서관. 친절한 직원들, 친절한 시큐리티 주차공간은 도서관 옆에 마련되어 있다. 버스나 씨트레인 타고 접근성도 좋은 편. 규모도 넓어 책이 많다. 앉아서 공부할 수 있는 공간이 부족하다.

(Translated) I stopped by because I had something to print. It's small, but the view around it was good and the staff was friendly. (You need to make a card for printing.) (Original) 프린트 할것이 있어 들렀다. 크기는 아담하지만 주변 뷰가 좋고 직원들도 친절해서 좋았다. (프린트를 위해선 카드를 만들어야한다.)

Quiet, not as busy as it used to be before COVID19. The library is small and well located. It is good place to read.

John “Jo Fer” Ferrrier

Recently renovated and updated systems make this Library a really good local Community Library single floor easy access for handicapped individuals with an overall easy-to-use layout printers and computers available as well.

Poojan Gohil

Good overall. They should add more study desks.

Adelheid Esser

The computers for 2 hour usage was not allowing access to Google. Stated it was blocked. Staff looked bored. Very noisy at times as respect for others wasn't there.

Havana And friends

It's not good ok

A smaller library with a great selection for the size. The staff here are nice enough and are more than capable of easily directing you towards what you are looking for. This library offers anything from books to CDs to dvds to even bluerays would recommend if you're looking for a book and live in this area.

E. Fernandez

It is a great library. Very conveniently placed near the ctrain station and a mall. The only problems are the noise levels and the fact that it is small. Sometimes it is hard to find a place to seat.

Kerri Wickhorst

Well-organized, lots of books and CD's

Ivan Sierralta

As always, the Calgary Public Library is doing its best to help all Calgarians to

Elina Liu

Fun and lively little library, interesting place to people watch and study, close to Starbucks and second cup and the train! :)

Umang Modi

Very friendly and helpful staff. Staff members are extremely knowledgeable as well. I had a printing task, which almost appeared impossible untill one nice lady came up with solution. Thanks to her I could print the required documents on time. Must visit place.

Gerry Lennox

Great staff. Cozy little area library. Always have programs for kids.

Kathy Jay

Came here to try to get some work done as my home office is proving rather distracting right now. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Only downside is there aren't many tables, and the majority of those don't have plugs near them so you can't plug your computer in. I had to leave because my computer died and there were no open seats. For a small library, it is quite nice though.

Nice neighbourhood library.

Nehal patel

Good customer service with perfect environment to study and focus on our work.

Morghan Elliot

Love this little library! It has a nice selection of books and media despite its small size, and my young daughter loves the play area and accessible kids books selection.

Gon Freecss

Nice staff and bright space.

Jeff Marsh

Great community Library!

The library is a bit small compared to other Calgary public libraries, the computer stations can fill up very quickly. They also provide two printers beside the computer stations in addition to basic shared stationery. Library members are able to print 50 free black and white pages every month.

Josh

This is a small community library that always has events and programs running, while maintaining the feeling of a traditional library. The staff are top notch and knowledgeable, with great senses of humor!

David Wourms

So quiet I fell asleep.

aemarsfan

Small, but very efficient little library right beside the C-train! I love this little library, and it has helped me through some tricky times this year. You can order books through the website, pick them up really quick, and be on your way home in no time! Staff are always very helpful, they have helped me track down my holds, and done an amazing job of keeping things going through curb-side pick-up during the tough times this year.

David Fortin

I was here for a water losses but I will visit again

Sharon Meikle

It's not a huge library, but it has a warm and welcoming staff and an adequate collection. It really is the hub of its community, serving moms and kids, language learners and locals with special programmes. For the most part, I now mostly download my library materials from the Calgary Public Library's outstanding online site ... but I still drop by my local library and it never disappoints. The doors pop open and there it is, that amazing and unchanging "Library Smell" of books waiting to be read.

Bernard Brockway

Wonderful staff. Always willing to go the extra mile if you need it.

Samad Rahmatullah

Nice quiet library that isn't as busy as you would think it would be (due to it being so close to a train station and the mall). Selection is a bit limited relative to other larger libraries but it's a nice place to come and read/study/use the computers.

Brandon Harper

Staff were friendly Nd helpful.

Sadie Roura

Small library but has everything you need, very friendly staff, easy to access due (with c-train very close) and nice outdoor playground close

Michael Zacharias

It's a nice little library. It would've been better if there was no renovations and there was no play zone. Edit: The printers also don't work as much, and some tables are occasionally closed.

library patron

This should be called a day care, not a library. The adults have little control it seems. Anyone with compromised mobility needs to careful not to lose their balance around kids running helter skelter throughout the library. We spend less and less time there, mainly just pick up and drop off now. Too stressful.....between the out of control kids and the noise.

Jonah Diener

My wife had to make copies of an important document and the staff was So kind and helpful, she said the lady at the desk helped her make copies and Kelsey helped her with loaning her the laptop that day and was super friendly. I highly recommend this library, it was a hot day and they were also giving out water bottles to customers upon arrival, truly awesome service!

Emily Dukeshire

Good selection and friendly staff. It’s not the biggest library in town but had all the types of books my kids and I were looking for.

Steven France

They leave the wifi on 24/7

Marie Kenny

Staff are nice and very helpful.

terry vulcano

Friendly helpful staff; clean facility; not too busy; lots of chromebooks if main computers being used. If they don't have a book on hand they'll get it for you from another branch.

MARDELLE MORRIS

This is a newly renovated community Library with incredibly helpful staff members and easy access from the Lions Park LRT. The photocopiers were upgraded during the recent renovations and it's worth noting they now have the "scan to email" function.

Subhadip Das

Good library books and wonderful staffs. Read on why 3 stars: The computers super slow and aged. Please arrange replacement. Internet does not work sometimes. Google Chrome does not work sometimes. It causes lot of difficulty while doing something and you are stucked in between.

Abhimanyu Malhotra

Staff Non cooperative and with zero knowledge .. today

Nina W

(Translated) Convenient and comfortable, you can read and rest before and after shopping. (Original) 方便，舒适，购物前后可以看书休息的场所

Take my boy for the classes at the library. Everyone is so kind and nice. Love the environment. Wish there was more seating arrangements as sometimes it gets really packed and it’s hard to find a spot. But overall very happy with this place. Thank you

Maidee Penaranda

I would love faxing machines services included with our memberships.

Sharla Dsouza

We had excellent customer service by Josh at this location. He went out of his way to help us get what we needed. Thanks Josh & Louise Riley Library!

Elizabeth Chong

Well spaced out. Friendly, helpful staff.

Erin Doherty

Probably my least favorite library in the city, washrooms are always a mess, staff is extremely judgmental and pushy. Place is very unwelcoming to its patrons.
