Aubrey Backscheider

Every library should have a Greenhouse. Love this place!

Louis Jezsik

Very pleasant library to explore. The best part is the adjacent greenhouse. Take a book and relax in a tropic setting.

Oscar J. Acosta

I seriously love this library, the Victorian building, the service and personnel make of this little borough library a true jewel, the well designed spaces invite to reflection, reading and silent study, the selection is beautiful and lovingly cured. I only have praise for my riding's libraries and the care they take to promote culture and study. Kudos to our representative, the honourable Marc Garneau and it's amazing team.

Westmount libaray is wonderfull.

Naoi Calles

The staff is lovely and they have a good selection of modern poetry authors. It's a pleasure to visit it, sit around in the quiet and read. They have computers and if you are a student you can use them for as long as you need. Washrooms are clean and the library has a special floor for kids !

Edwar al jabbour

Amazing place

James Amend

Beautiful space, easily accessible by public transit

Louis Perron

Great library, very historical feeling when you’re there. Doesn’t have great air conditioning in the rooms where you can do work but it doesn’t seem to get very busy so that’s not a huge deal. Go check this place out if you’re into libraries!

Duke

they did not have my favorite fan fiction.

Francoise Bernardin

Westmount pumpkin competition!!!

(Translated) I like it, very clean and quiet. Perfect for working. On the other hand, the printing of documents is average ... (Original) J'aime bien, très propre et tranquille. Parfait pour travailler. Par contre l'impression de documents est moyenne...

Albert Liu

Peaceful place for reading and study with your friends and mates.

I love the library. It is stunning from the outside and on the inside. For its size, it has a huge variety of books. Great chairs and tables to study. Very clean. The only problem would be that on the lower levels and on the main level the staff talk very loud so it is hard to study especially if you get easily distracted. They don't even try to talk in a low voice.

Leon Benjamin

Great place to read, work and study. Clean and big desks everywhere. I love the room with the green lamps. However I found the internet / WiFi to be intermittent. Not sure if it's just me but no matter where I sat, in the first hall or at the back, I couldn't get a solid consistent connection for very long. :(

Camille Sampson-Mayes

Very nice collection of books. I love it.

Jem Diamond

Love the fact that the kids have their own floor. However, the baby/ toddler section is lacking. Only has a few sad toys & old depressing furniture. Desperately needs a makeover! Staff is nice.

Mahmoud El-Nouri

Very peaceful

Daniel Goldwater

Beautiful old building and furnishings. You feel the history. Quiet, kind atmosphere. Love it.

Simon Fernando

Beautiful library with a wonderful greenhouse

Gareth Sargeant

Historical municipal library. Great place for the local kids to get their homework done and meet up with tutors or local organizations to use a meeting room.

The library is beautiful, quiet, well organized. Perfect!

Cynthia Dymarski

(Translated) Good library, but they exterminated the plants in the heartless greenhouse. The greenhouse was one of the prettiest places in Westmount, now neglected (Original) Bonne bibliothèque, mais ils on exterminé les plantes de la serre sans coeur. La serre était l'un des plus bel endroit à Westmount, maintenant négligé

Neisky Montiel

Very nice selection for adults and kids. Little expensive for non Westmount residents

Matte Dominic

(Translated) Library really typical English with a beautiful beautiful greenhouse full of beautiful plant. (Original) Bibliothèque vraiment typique anglaise avec une magnifique belle serre plein de belle plante.

S.E. McKenzie

This is the best library I have been to. The staff are friendly, the building is beautiful and quiet. You don't feel harrassed, stalked, degraded and dragged down in any way. You can see how being raised in such a positive environment could lead to becoming s successful person like Kamala Harris and Leonard Cohen. Sad what the opposite can do to people.

Hongil Kim

free wifi, excellent staffs, nice collection of dvds, books and music scores, nice environment that entices us to get into study or lecture mode, and great whole wall windows that brings in sunshine and let us watch the weather, free phone charger and last of all gorgeous architechture

Jiamu Yang

A silence place, best for having a moment to read

Tanveer Bajwa

Good Service

Sam Totah (montrealsam)

Great place to read or learn about cultural activities in Westmount. You have to reside in Westmount in order to borrow books. The library is large and space and plenty of current magazines around. A tiny section reserved for computer usage for members alone. The WI fi is not too strong and depends on daily usage. Test it. The staff is helpful. One special event i's book Sale once a year. The location of the library is ideal within the huge Westmount park. Enjoy your visit & you will!

they kick you off when people have booked a computer. they just kick you off right away

(Translated) Beautiful botanical garden, lots of beautiful plant (Original) Superbe jardin botanique, beaucoup de belle plante

(Translated) Competent and passionate staff. I strongly advise people to follow the establishment on social media. (Original) Personnel compétent et passionné. Je conseille fortement aux gens de suivre l'établissement sur les réseaux sociaux.

Awe-inspiring library , with its monumental architectural style , while at the same time creating newer and modern spaces on the inside ! Built in June 1899, I think it’s hard to walk into the west mount public library and not have a sense of deep respect ✊???? for all that they hold and stand for , I wish I am living in the West-mount district to have more access to its services , It has a variety of activities and services for all generations , It’s one of the very few seed lending library in the area , which means , it offers free seed for members for more than 50 different varieties of plants , including herbs flowers vegetables fruits beans and heirloom varieties . A culture of sharing and sustainability ! I would recommend anyone to visit this distinct library , and i am so sure you’ll thank me :)

Guy Demers

(Translated) Beautiful library whose architecture has been preserved. Pleasant atmosphere. (Original) Très belle bibliothèque dont l’architecture a été préservée. Ambiance agréable.

Patrick M

Gorgeous library but sadly limited to Westmount residents unlike Montreal libraries they actually are inclusive to everyone. Gorgeous green house too once it's actually opened.

Yasmina Khoury

Beautiful library .

akansha mathur

It’s a very amazing library with lots of book of all ages. Miss Wendy from the children section is extremely helpful n lovely lady.

Louis Thwaites

"Studying in premises that breathe history and knowledge". Names of great Poets, Historians, Scientists, Scholars, etc. are engraved in stained glass at the top of each window in the library. Very nice atmosphere, kind staff and great selection of books. The light in the evening is amazing, and the traditional lamps in the reading rooms gives the place an "Oxbridge" feel, when premises get darker.

Ben K

Great atmosphere, but wi-fi is very spotty. Parking is reasonably priced.

A.J. Rubineau

My second home. Reliable wifi, a good coffee vending machine, and right next door to the lovely gardens. Plus, the children's librarians know my kids' names!

Nicholas Quinn

Great staff and have good books

Dani Voorhees

Hiro Chen

Very nice atmosphere! Quiet place, nice and clean.

Eeshita Paul

I love this library. It has a great selection of books, movies and shows. Also, lots of audiobooks. And it has great places to sit and read. Unfortunately, I can't do that at the moment because of the pandemic, so I eagerly await the time when it will be able to fully reopen.

Jessica Chambers
