Good library

Pretty big library but it gets bust fast. Seats to study gets scarce. Make sure you're early so you have a spot. I wish the library closed later than 9:00 PM as it is a nice place.

Good place to get quiet time while reading

Amazing place, a great collection of books to choose from while also having other things at the same time such as computers, just such a lively and quiet working space.

came to the library with some friends and one of them was putting on lip balm quickly (so they had their mask off for not long). justifiably, she was told to keep her mask back on; but at the same time the staff member said that she “couldn’t give anymore warnings” which insinuated that my friend was told more than once during our stay. which was definitely not the case. only time my friend was told that was a few weeks ago. so, i am confused as to why the staff member was telling her to leave, and then just walked away. we didn’t leave because we saw no reason as to why she was saying she has had more than one chance, but my friend was still very distraught. i understand the reasoning for these safety precautions, but the delivery on them needs to be worked on.

Library is open for curbside pick up only, and book drop off. When open, there was stringent social distancing in effect and screening questions before entering the library. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Library is always clean and a nice place to relax and read or study.

Luisa Vega

Always look forward to visiting the library. The variety of workshops or programs they offer are awesome as well, keeping diverse intrests in mind.

I've been going to this library for over a decade, and while many of the staff are extremely kind and caring, there are also certain staff members that are incredibly rude - to the point of potentially ruining your day. The tipping point for me was when I had to quarantine due to being extremely ill and couldn't return my book until I tested negative for COVID and had recovered. The staff member I spoke to refused to waive the late fee, stating I should've called in before the book was due. There's absolutely no reason I should've been concerned about returning a book when I'm too ill to even leave my bed and thought I had COVID. Not only is there an ongoing pandemic, but countless libraries across the world (including those in Toronto) are removing their late-fee policies in general. I'm shocked at the complete lack of empathy/understanding from MPL. I absolutely do not mind paying late fees (I've easily paid hundreds of dollars in late fees over the years) and I completely understand that the staff are only human, but I feel treating your patrons in this manner is not ok - especially when their circumstance is related to the pandemic. While I understand this is a government-funded service available to the public for free, and do not expect above-average customer/patron service, there is a bare minimum in terms of manners and kindness that can and should be met. Again - this library (including Beaty and Sherwood) has some of the most kind and warm staff members I've ever met, but I've had experiences with certain people that were so negative that they've soured any goodwill the library had established. This is extremely odd since I rarely interact with the staff and have never faced any issues at other libraries - MPL is very much an outlier in this regard.

Mariam Sutarwala

Just went for covid-19 vaccine administration, it was the best experience. So smooth. I legit never even had to touch any surface except the chair I sat on. Way to go to all the volunteers/nurse practitioners/security guards/every person involved in these pop up clinics. Thank you so much for your time and effort.

Victor Joseph

eagle one

Its a good libraly. When their trying to get rid of old books and Dvds they sell them for supsr cheap prices and they have every book i want. Just dont like the crying babys down stairs

Juan Park

Lots of tables with access to electrical outlets to do remote work. Awesome work environment! Fast internet speed as well. Only downside is with the pandemic, masks on at all times + no drinking water or any beverage rule is strictly enforced.

Karen

Great toddler play area

Rimi Gowda

Its a wonderful place to read, relax, and study. All the staff seem happy to help and are just angels in general. I love this place :)

Momina Khawaja

If I could, I’d give 6/5 stars. Absolutely kind staff, and guards! The pop-up clinic workers are so so so so sweet and caring. They cared for my sister snd myself for the vaccine shot and showed utmost respect and work. Had such joyous smiles and laughter. Showed and asked if all was alright, and answered some questions that were on my mind. Really made my sister and I feel safe and cared for! Hands down, amazing service from the pop-up clinic workers and staff! ❤️❤️❤️

Ahmad Jameel

Ali Khan [Student]

Really nice and quiet. Great place to meet up with friends and study!

Inder Gurn

good place to complete studies

Dollie Nicholls

The staff are just as friendly as always! Everything is streamlined and easy. Present your library card when you arrive and when you leave (for contact tracing), browse books and put unwanted items on carts, self checkout makes it quick and hand sanitizer is readily available. Love to our libraries!!!

Wasif Balouch Ashrafi

Nice place and friendly staff

In Virginia's World

The library is always a good place to go even in today's world of google ... its quiet, a good place to study and of course check out books for free

Justin Mohareb

Mpl has good COVID policies in place. They’ll scan you in & go over safety policies with you. The process for printing is a little inconvenient, but the books are easy to get through. I got the page I needed to print out & I got some graphic novels.

fahad syed

Beautiful place. Calm n clean. Helpful staff

Ethel

Clean and great lighting but... Too small and study desks fill up very quickly. Wish they were open earlier and later (i.e. opens 9:30am and closes at 9pm T-Th, closes at 5pm on F-M, and opens late in the day, 1pm, on Sundays).

Caitlyn Nguyen [Student]

Great staff there, the staff are super friendly and always help when needed. I can find a lot of books I want and there are my favourite series there!

Arun Cherian

The staff here goes all the way with COVID precautions. They've visit logging for possible contact tracing, quarantine shelves, book wipe-downs and what not. Range of books is pretty standard for a usual library, but impressive for a town.

Casey Perue

Great curb side support

Al Z

Friendly librarians, good place to study, usually all the desks are busy after school.

Izzy yyz

Very helpful staff. Checkout process is super easy and high tech at the same time. I used to bring my laptop while I am as preparing for an exam. Free WiFi works flawless. Now we are regulars, great collection of kids books too.

This Library is amazing, just take a look at what it offers, The Ladies and Gents who work here are professional while still being eXtremely friendly and helpful...people who use this library are very fortunate to have this facility ...

Saqib Saleem

Great place for some quiet reading or study time!

Lindsay Schaefer

I have been here twice but both times were great. They have a cute little corner for kids. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Its by a high school and a decent amount of students use it but they have been very respectful.

Debbie Beckner

First time visitor. Everyone was friendly an very helpful.

K Ivova

Washroom disgusting filled with Lysol smell Just moved here from US can't believe the amount of toxic cleaners they use in a "public community place " and no policy of air fresheners as if the the polpulation here is very mixed and in some cultures they feel because for some reason their bodies naturally smell as a result of th e food they eat , they have a feeling they need to take a shower in their cologne and perfume that is well known toxin ,so i guess I am spoiled being from the west ,as the polpulation there is more aware of toxins in "Public places such as a library The sultion if you are like the many in the European or American and you are from the west Find a place to sit by the door and you be ok Actually the librarians are very cold especially a lady by the computer she has attitude but I guess this is normal thinking she properly doesn't like her job . Also the hours on the weekend not enough and at 9 pm during weekdays is very short for a fas bpopulating town like Milton .

Patricia Giuliani

Very poorly designed. Computers dirty and dusty. Rooms taken for exam's it's not appropriate. Where do these people go to school can they have there exam there? Noisy also, children screeming, crying, yelling. When I used to go to the library as a child we where taught to talk with our voices low or not talk at all. Cells I was told by a women do not use my cell because I was talking to loud, w'ell sorry to say I will use my cell is my work souce and I've seen others use it and talk laud and I would never tell them not to use cell. This library may have fair custumer service, but it's best to sit at the living arts area and work sincevits cleaner and quieter.

AH1961

Its a decent place to chill. Don’t like the books though

Parvez Mohammed

Best Library ever with very friendly staff and very clean and tidy environment 2 thumbs up for Milton Library at Main Street in Milton Extended hours is a blessing for people who want to have some serious study time away from all the distractions

Eric Vaz

Good selection of books. Good places to work. Can get noisy in evening.

Mifrah Batool

Nice seating areas, could expand the sitting areas on the top floor. The staff is really nice and very helpful.

Tamer Botros

Like it a lot. The librarians are friendly and helpful. Would really appreciate a more thorough stacking of fiction books

Nicole Oludemi

Very helpful, cheerful and diligent staffs. The library is very comfortable and neat

Sanjida Mistry

Great atmosphere. Really like the proximity to our house in Milton

Chris M.

A great study place, clean and quiet surrounding! Wish there were more seating options added as the seats can be taken up quite quickly some mornings!

Chris & Sue

Watch out for the late fees. You will end up paying more than buying a book on discount at Indigo.

abdel-megeed khalifa

Very organized, kids love to read here. There are couple of rooms for meeting but need to reserve it first. Many computers for kids. Stuff are very friendly. There is elevator to go to the second floor and battery box to recycle it.

Ali Ahmed

Very nice atmosphere, quiet love to study there

Smiles

Always wonderful librarians helping who are so kind.

Sue Coelho

Watch your HARD EARNED TAX DOLLARS LITTERALLY GO OUT THE DOOR..Milton Library in the process of air conditioning ALL OF MILTON! They DONT WANT to BOTHER with doors closing and opening because of the COVID injection site, located here ???? what's their response? Leave them open for several consecutive hours! What a WASTE

Genesis Campbell

terrible customer service. walked-in with drink in hand and was immediately yelled at by 2 people at the front desk . There was a sign that said no food or drink that i did not see and was insulted for not reading it. I hope they treat their visitors better. After putting my drink away I felt like I was being watched by a certain staff member; felt very racially motivated.. very disappointed.

Jessica David

It is a great place with amazing people

Mackenzie Ciccarelli

The Milton Public Library is a great community centers for Milton. They offer a place to meet and learn. The library is big and has a good selection of books with friendly staff. There are sections for all ages and often run different activities as well. The library is also a good place to study and work.

Andrew Wilkinson

The librarian who helped me was rude

Chrystal Siddiqui

Rude staff member. Didn’t realize I had parked in the wrong spot and she could have just asked nicely for me to move but instead she asked with a ton of anger. Very immature and unprofessional. Kindness goes a long way. She should have more training in professionalism.

Hani abdelsayed

Amazing place and the most friendly staff there. There are 2 levels. The bottom one has books for children, kids computers and the main front desk. The top one has everything EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE. It also includes computers and if you forget headphones, they have high quality ones for you to use.

mark Cannon

The staff are always helpful

Liliana Zamora

So many books, love it!!
