Why is the phone number listed out of service? Not very helpful.

I don't mean to sound bitter, but what happened to libraries? When I was a kid, a library was a place to read quietly, learning about the world in an atmosphere of quiet interest. Now, it seems, it's a place (that's rarely open) where you go to check your facebook, gossip loudly with your friends, and permit your young children to run around yelling. The Saanich Centennial Branch is no exception. It's a physically appealing library, with a decent number of workstations. But it's overrun by people who seem to view it as a place to loudly talk on cellphones. It's a shame.

Looking forward to improving my rating when things improve. It's currently not a functional library... its a lending depot. There are no places to read, or sit for that matter.

Library is decent and lots of programs. Front desk staff unfortunately don't like taking book returns at their desks. Fail on customer service.

Oh my gosh. So nice to go back to the library. As with many other vaunted institutions, the pandemic has caused some scaling back of the physical spaces. In this case though it's a nice compromise that feels like a careful curating of space, as opposed to a reduction of resources. Hopefully this integration of physical and digital worlds can be further improved over the coming months.
