andrew pacitti

Takes too long to get your books.

Nathaniel Smith

Came for the books, stayed for the overbearing sense of community.

Kabelo Dike

It was great, I loved it

Alexandre Alferan

Extremely rude and unprofessional staff esp. the gentleman there that is more of a VERBAL bouncer than a LIBRARY staff..

Emma Sherwood

Super nice, helpful staff, simple process to get a library card (I did it online), COVID-19 protocols felt very safe.

B Bilal

Good and quiet place for studies or computer use. Close to McMaster's university. A lot if students enjoy library service because of convenient location. This location has recently been renovated. Though parking structure is very small but still ok.

William Yao

loud and not a great place for studying but very fun for children. Lots of workshops and activities. staff can be unreasonable at times.

Royce Kim

An excellent place to go study, as well as a wide variety of books, but can be unbearably loud once the children come in. A bit small, but nice and clean. Some staff are more helpful than others, but overall it’s a good library if you want to take your child there, and it is also in close proximity to McMaster University.

Michael Wulff

Smaller library but friendly service and some high tech equipment for self checkout and returns!

Jason Lim

Good for small kids to play. Hope that the opening hours would be longer during the Winter seasons as well as the Summers.

Daniella Falcone

Worst library experience ever. I was trying to study and one of the employees sat beside me and was organizing the movies on a steel cart; she kepy banging on the cart very loudly while puttig away the movies, she could clearly see that I was trying to study. So I had to pack up all of my things and move to a different area where I couldn't hear her. At the same time two other employees were talkng very loudly at the front desk, it was very distracting. I thought this was a library where you can do homework in a quiet environment.I will not be coming back to this location.

Friendly helpful staff.

Dissapointing that they are not here to meet the needs of the young community. Opening only at 10am, closed Fridays and Sundays...which are 2 days that families need the library to be open especially when there is no school, on PD days and then on weekends to catch up on reading or projects. It seems the hours are based around being convenient for the staff and NOT the general public. It's sad that the Library is better staffed/organized to meet the needs of the community better.

Bambam Rubble

Rude staff. I asked a staff member for a movie and he let out a deep sigh of annoyance to let me know how inconvenient it was for him to do his job and help me. It was a larger gentleman that I’ve seen another reviewer mention as well. If you’re going to be rude to people, you shouldn’t work with people.

Riley Mione

Especially convenient for students is the free printer service (2 pages a day I think) that comes with a membership!

Lara R

friendly staff and a good selection

Jennifer

The larger gentleman should not have a position working with the public. He's severely lacking in customer service skills and has a nasty attitude. Utterly immature, shameful and unprofessional.

Andre Miron

Went in with my son, it's very unfriendly. The librarians don't say hello or greet you in anyway. It felt like I was walking on eggshells when my son spoke or made any noises. Stay away from this place.

This afternoon around 1pm I walked into the Library with some trepidation. Was planning to renew a book which had been with me(renewed several times) for at least 6 months. It was a classic compendium of mystery stories, and I didn't want to return it without reading it fully from cover to cover. My busy work schedule and Pokemon Go had prevented me from doing so in the past. On walking through the door, I greeted the Service person. She was grace personified and renewed it within no time. A big load was off my shoulders. And I walked out triumphantly with the book in my hand. The whole experience took less than 5 minutes. Extraordinary service indeed.! Would highly recommend visiting this Library multiple times.????

Me and my mom go there every time when we want to go shopping because it's on our route. Lot's of books include Chinese book. Sometimes you need to wait for a seat XD. Silent reading space.

Jimmy Lafontaine

Small and loud. Librarians chit chat and one of them has a voice that carries. Is that ironic? Can't study here but it's free books and internet so why complain. Why are you closed on Fridays?

John Mcinnes

Very helpful staff don't drag there feet take there job serious
