Too noisy, it's like a kids playground.

If you want to have a reason why you don't need a child, go to this library. Always really loud!!!!!

Very nice modern library with friendly and helpful staff. I arrived at the time the YMCA day camp was letting out for the day so had to walk around to the rear entrance. Not a big deal for me but it might be if you have limited mobility.

Beautiful layout, friendly staff, love using the study rooms as it can get loud sometimes with children.

Very nice facility. Playground right beside it for your kids.

Beautiful building - but if you're looking for a quiet place to read/study this is not the place to go! Its basically a daycare; full of screaming children, running around throwing things and crying. Even in the upstairs study rooms (which you can only rent out for two hours a day) you can hear all the crying & screaming on the lower level. I'm all for community centres but there should really be a separate place for the children to play because libraries are supposed to be a quiet space.

I love the infrastructure of this library and the bright space. One thing that can be frustrating is the noise level, particularly on weekends. I understand it is a community space, however it is still a library and the noise level can get pretty loud at times with children shouting and running around. I wish there were stricter policies that could keep the purposes of a library in place; for reading and studying.

Of two minds about it. Lovely space (I've even rented the meeting room once), great meeting room, friendly staff. As mentioned by others, can get quite noisy, but I do love that it's being used as a community space.

Very good books! Also good for kids! Nice and quiet, but sometimes the book you want to read is not where it's supposed to be and also there is not any places to sit, but I understand that it is Covid, so great place!

Clean and staff seem nice but honestly, the noise level is really bad. Place is a straight up daycare. Seems like the library standard of 'quiet' just doesn't apply here. It's good that there is a kids area because kids needs to learn, play and interact but because of the architectural design of this library, the sound from one area resonates throughout the entire interior structure. I think visitors hear this noise and assume that anything goes because this place is anything but quiet. I don't know how central can be so large and yet so consistently quiet - probably tighter standards.
