Reviews of Toronto Public Library - Bayview Branch (Library)

Evonne C

Great location and facilities. Lots of stores and restaurants within proximity. Subway is just downstairs (you don't have to go out in the winter).

Marina Zub

It’s not a library! It’s a forking community center. It’s not quite and impossible to read here.

Siavash Imany

A nice place with good staff There are three things you must know about this branch: 1- there is always a lot of noise, so it is better to have ear plug or earmuff for concentration. 2-in the case of returning CDs or DVDs, ask the staff to check that is not in a bad condition. 3-open time is variable and very limited, before going there please check the closure hours.

Small and noisy place

Rae T

This library is quite small. This means that it often gets pretty crowded, and it can be difficult to find a computer or a chair to sit. The staff are friendly and helpful. Very convenient location.

Prakash

Very friendly staff. Our entire family all got library cards for first time. It was quick and smooth. Great choice of children's books

Master iOqY

Friendly city staff. Quiet library. Less busier than most.

Aarik Subram

Well managed cozy little library. They have a good collection and the working area is small but comfortable. Decent wifi.

It's not only this place, same thing is going on in other branches. it's like nobody understands the concept of library. god damn children running around singing and talking its a freaking play ground not a library.

Parvin Zafarani

Very small space, gets very noisy, not ideal for studying

Carmen Chan

A small library but a wonderful one. The gentleman that does the story time on alternate Wednesdays is fantastic! He is great with children and very animated which gets the children very engaged in the stories and songs. The staff there are all very lovely and happy to help when you approach the desk. Best part of the library is the returns slot outside which has been great for when we have books that are about to be overdue and need to returned without entering the library.

Ron Wilson

Small library located next to Bayview Village Shopping Centre. Nice place to relax while the wife is out shopping.

Michael Ballard

Dedicated staff that are very helpful, with prompt services always. Oh and very clean. Do note: Lots of young families in the area, so it is noisy during story reading times ( 20 - 50) family members ages 1 month up to 7 years during the summer and babies and toddlers the rest of the year. Nice adult reading group, good selection of newspapers and magazines, CD's and DVD's.

Truman H.

This is a really small library - not intended for studying.

Best staff!

delara babaie

I like the place, staffs, and warm atmosphere.

Anon Tablet

A typical mall library branch, quieter than most due to the arrangement of bookshelves. Tables for study available.

Natalie Cheng

Convenient location, but barely has any seats because of social distancing.

Melanie

(Translated) A lot of children are coming too (Original) 아이들도 많이 오네요

Ademola Emmanuel

It’s quiet and family friendly.

Sylvia Gallo

Great community space, but the hours are so inconvenient. Sad to see the reduction in open hours because I'm sure I'm not the only one who is impacted by this. I would love to see more consistent open hours, even if they have to be reduced, to remove the guessing game and always having to double-check if they're open.

Daniel S

Friendly staff. Great that they are still open in BV.

Jordan S

Staff are really nice and the library is clean. Wifi is strong enough to surf the web. The only downside is that this library is fairly noisy. It's not so much a library, but more of a community centre.

Tom Morelli

I've been going to this library for over a year now. Great, loyal, and dedicated professional staff. Just be sure not to be at the library on weekdays (during the daytime hours) when they have story reading for young children. Sure, it's cute, but unless you have earpieces it could easily be quite distracting. (Just don't judge the library based on these story-telling sessions - is all I ask.) Overall, I give this library an A- for keeping noise and distractions down. Would recommend this library to anyone who needs a good library for either research or quiet study.
