Reviews of Toronto Public Library - Bridlewood Branch (Library)

Sunil Pisal

One of the best place I found on Finch street from STC to Finch station. Small place but facility wise good one. Only drawback during weekends and especially morning hours this place is quite crowdy and noisy. But rest things are really good.

Recently made although I did not like how when I was smart I want to make my duck brain Smart but I'm the library they said no ducks allowed and I cried because it traumatized me for the rest of my life when I couldn't smarten my duck so what I decided to to was commit treason, I READ A BOOK!! I already know what you are saying to your selves *GASPP* but I promise it was for a good reason, I pretended to read a book to distract the librarian while my duck was secretly under over learning brain smarts. I was so cool I was like bait for my duck and it was the coolest experience ever but nothing can get me over the trauma I experienced at the front desk, THE PAIN!!!! Anyways, after that me and my panda went home with all our brain smarts and kicked the librarian in the but for being a bad imitation of Dora. The end. Of my story. For now. Good bye. See ya later. Alligator. In a while. Crocodile. I'm done. Tadaaaa. Weeeee. Googlyhihoo.

I like the interior design

Felix Ha

A pretty small library that's actually pretty packed most of the times.

Sandra Z Hajjar

What a satisfying and excellent experience here at my local Library! Patient with my questions and took the time to explain in detail how to use their computer system, to print, and general all around knowledge. Thank you for helping me and letting me feel heard.

Joseph Coutinho

Great place to get some good books, but can be quite loud at times.

Eliana Marin

not good children are always playing games on the computer the fat lady is very rude and racist is always making fun of people calling them names she should take all those molls from her face

Siddharth Dave

Love this place. Not many options at the library, but if you order online its here within 2 to 3 days which is fantastic.

Small library inside Bridlewood Mall. There's lots of seating; by the newspapers and magazines, the children and teen section and dispersed throughout. Free wifi available in case you're not there to read books haha. There's a counter where staff can help you out and also 2 self-serve check out stations by the entrance.

Eli Ayase

Too many people, but opening hours are long compare to other libraries

Arthur Boers

When I go to this library, I am amazed by how much libraries have changed over the years. I like the bustle and busyness and seeing and listening to people from all over the world. I admire the fact that people of all ages are there. I seldom find books on the shelves, but I do borrow DVDs and I order many books from other branches. The Toronto Public Library system is amazing and the Bridlewood branch is one of the very good things about living in this neighbourhood. Thank you all!

Chuan Chee

A modern space with light wood decor. They also serve Chinese and Hindi language books, CDs, movies. There is even a teen space with tables where they can sit with laptops.

Gabriela Y

there are very few places to study and I’ve seen people eating food at the computer station. It’s the closest public library at my place so I have no choice but to come here sometimes. There is a vast Chinese collection at least that’s a plus

Lyday Buchanan

Stella was amazing! I was so frustrated with my library card & became so irate yet, she kept calm the whole time & resolved my issue.

Maggie

Loud with the high school kids after school.

(Translated) The small library accompanied my time in junior high school, because the children's area has no acoustic panels, so sometimes it is very noisy. Only 5 computers can access the Internet, but they are also sufficient. Librarians are very kind, and there are social workers and other services for new immigrants. The sparrows are small but well-organized, and the library has resources. (Original) 很小的图书馆 陪伴了我初中高中的时光，因为小孩子区域没有隔音板，所以有时候会很吵。只有5部电脑能上网，但也够用啦。图书馆员都非常的亲切，里面还有社工一类的服务新移民们。麻雀虽小但五脏俱全，图书馆该有的资源都有。

Sutha Kula

Well this place has so many people and mostly kids using computers and going on YouTube and blasting off music videos and their parents let their kids run free and literally just chat off their mouths.The Main Question is: Why the hell are they here? They are not even returning or borrowing. Get these rowdy rascals out of here

melanie kookie

A good amount of varieties of books for all ages there. But the main issue is that there's a lot of loud, screaming children that hog the computers and play games while screaming and yelling. But the other issue I have with this place is that the staff do nothing to help this problem

tayseer abdelaziz

Always packed and way too many kids running around, it's like a zoo in there. Specially when it is Saturday

Michael Gfroerer

Bridlewood Mall Public Library has several features: a large selection of books, DVDs and Movies, computers to use and quiet study areas. The staff is friendly and helpful. The only drawback is the unattractive lighting which reminds users that they're in a shopping mall.

Anitha D'Souza

Staff is helpful but the library facility seems smaller compared to the demand. As the library is conveniently situated inside the mall, it is always packed with people and one can always see queue for the computer section.

Bryan Tam

The place is very loud, with kids running around. Hardly any table to work. I guarantee you will not get any work done. I thought library is supposed to be quiet?

Lorna McDougall

Library in the mall Busy, cheerful community center People gather there

Rishi Raj Singh

A great place and very helpful bubbly staffers.Good place for students and newcomers. Free WiFi is available and is great. Getting a library card is far too easy too to rent books and CDs.

Zachary Lee

Small library, not much computers to use

Herbert Gus

I learned a lot here.

Infamous Man

Fairly big library. Can get a little noisy a times though.

john valiaveettil

Very small library. There are some events for kids and new immigrants every month.

M McDermott

Great Staff. This is a small library branch, as one would expect inside a mall. The staff are extremely helpful with any problem. While the branch may not have every book you want, the Toronto Library Hold program is excellent and can deliver pretty much everything to this location making it easy to pick up the book & drop it back off. The only disadvantage of this branch is that it's closed on Sundays.

Emmanuel Pritt

I learned a lot here.

Suzy Sam

Nice helpful staff. Lots of tables to relax.more students and elderly people, which makes this place semi quiet and peaceful!

Akul Kharbanda

Not a place where you can study silently because it is more of a zoo than a library as its crowded all the time and people come here to have GALA time.

jessica lombard

This is a small library located in Bridlewood mall. This place is always very busy and you have to wait a while if you want to use one of the computers. It has a limited selection of books. Would recommend only if you live in the area or visiting the mall.

jelani smith

the staff there is very helpful. they may not have a lot of books there but they have the good ones

jerry wu

very quiet but too many people

Erik Perčić

Too many loud kids, not a great selection of books.

Souhad Al Faqih

Nice place

Ainsley J.

The library seems more like a community centre. It is not a place that is conducive to studying at all. Many use their headphones to drown out the noise made by children and some adults who have no sense of decorum or what the purpose of a library is.

mushimaster94 S

The staff are great and quite attentive. My main issue is with the library itself, not enough study space and plug outlets. Poorly designed use of space.

Kake Bake

People in this library are super inconsiderate!! Parents let their kids play music loud, and run around. This place is more like a play ground on playground than a work space. Kids are not the only annoying factors, adults talk loudly on their phones for long periods of time and talk to their friends as well. The librarians acknowledge the problem yet choose to ignore.

Giselle Mila

rrible place otene of the swold lady she thinks she is the owner of the place discriminate me because im not chinesse and make fun of me with another staff person felt so hurt and angry someone like her should not not be working there

Khalid Mahmood

Looks like staff need some relocation so that they understand that they are not the owner's of the olace but public servants

Jackson Wong

Library is too loud and disorderly to be a good place to sit down and work. Inconsiderate people talking loudly on their phones and eating fast-food. Seems like rules are not regularly enforced. Kids running wild and screaming. Bring a good set of headphones if you want to get anything done here.

Jen Balido-Cadavez

Small library space.

kiwi dancer

Rules are not heavily enforced and kids just run around yelling. there are many adults who do not care about anything and just eat messy foods around the books and magazines. kids use computers to game and dont want to get off if you need to print something or actually use it for education. they hold decent books, i would recommend this place just so they can hold books for you. they can hold books so i just borrow online and take it home to read.

Tasnim Maherali

All the people that work there are so helpful Katherine and Nicole go out of their way to help you and some others who's names i don't remember.

Anon Tablet

One of the better-equipped mall locations of the TPL. Lots of study space with chargers. Just needs more sound absorbing material for the fraction of patrons who think making noise in a library is appropriate behaviour.

I love Rin- Chan and LilyGamer YT

Has beautiful books.

Romeo Barbieto

I come here to study sometimes but it has been very hard recently so I switched to a different branch. The staff is surprisingly very loud. It makes it hard for me as a student to concentrate on what I am doing. It was not always like this, but recently the staff here, usually on Saturdays, talk extremely loud with no respect to the people that are here. This is very frustrating as this library is the closest library to me.

Maher HaNt

Good to be inside the mall, helpful Liberary staff

Carmela Hussanee

Not enough computers

Alice Ding

The worst library I have ever been.

C'est Moi

this library is usually held hostage by badly behaved youngsters who think the library is an appropriate place to make noise and carry on. The staff should really get this situation under control because it is too much. It is better to borrow books and study from home or find a library that has a noise policy
