I love VPLs. The Hastings neighborhood branch is not particularly pretty but it's functional and you get everything you need. On hold items and quick checkout work very well.

Smaller library so more limited selection but convenient for me so I put books on hold to be picked up here. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Rooftop parking is convenient too.

I really like this VPL. I used to go to Britannia branch but this one I feel is better! Staff is very good and helpful. They are always kind. The ambient is very quiet in the same time very fresh and nice.

Mary Cobham

A great library in a great system.

Cail Smith

Cute neighborhood library. Has a small bookable meeting room and teen reading area. There are also a small bank of computers, but they are well used so there is usually a wait. Small bike rack is immediately in front. Staff are fairly regular and do their best to help. They have good displays and the window decorations are always creative.

Relatively small compared with other VPL. But it's quiet and serves its function in the neighbourhood. Good selection of magazines.

Temporary closed until May 2019.

Absolutely the worst staff going around at this location. They close down computers and doors early. Refuse to serve you 2 mins before they are meant to close ( even if you rush from work to get there) they tell you they have to get people out before 6pm on Saturdays ( but why turn off computers to serve people before 6pm?!) The older female staff in particular won’t accept your card electronically ( you must have hard copy card as it takes them 2 seconds longer to type in your numbers) and I have stood at the desk waiting for dvds ( which are behind desk rather than on shelves) whilst staff just have a chat to each other) TERRIBLE! There are 2 male staff there that at least are cheery and helpful but that is about it from my experience. Plus it’s not open Monday’s! What library doesn’t open Monday’s?! ????
