Rey Achmad

Good place to print, not to difficult to print out a document compared by other public library

Mohammad Reza Sookhak Lari

Full of inconsiderate people. People go to quiet study rooms just to talk. Security announces be careful with your items all the time so lots of robbery l assume. The library itself is not bad though.

It’s very loud, and staff don’t tell people to be more quiet! It’s like a community centre rather than a library! There was a couple practically having a picnic next to me.

Seema Bedwal

Love it. ;P

Matthew Tse

nice and quiet environment, perfect for studying

Isaac Efrat

Decently 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.

এটা অসাধারন এক্টা নাগরিক সুবিধা। A regular week day it opens 9-8.30! It is not covenient. And a weekend it get shorten it work hours. I do not understand why it is not open at late night. Most of the people like to study after the office time in general.

Aubin-Davy H.

Best Library ever. Well maintained can find most of the book you want. If you like reading I definitely recommend you go there .

Megan MacLaren

Great library! Lots of places to sit and study, and there are a number of quiet places away from the noise of some areas. It would be nice if there were more outlets available for those looking to study with a laptop. However thats a minor issue. Note this location has a ton of stairs, and slow elevators.

I came to visit this library one time in order to get a library card and there was a rude black lady in the reception. I'm a refugee and the librarian asked me to pay $120 and when I said that's a lot of money, she replied by saying "We aren't the United Nations". Later on, I discovered I can get a library card for free. I work and I pay my taxes. I just don't know why some people are like this. I used to love to go to the library...

Many individual desks with plugs - private single rooms, open single spots, and group single desks available. WiFi kind of sucks for streaming, but for working this is a great place to be. Very quiet, busy. Fills up by 10AM and full by noon.

ali adouli

Good atmosphere, good Wifi, lots of places for studying,

Lakhwinder Gill

Wonderful library, one of the best I’ve been to. Def worth a check to study/leisure readings. Does get full sometimes might suggest bringing an extension cord for extra outlets incase you/others need.

Big 3 story library. Has a lot of books and computers there, and it's a normal quiet space except where some computers are but over all great library to visit.

Samiha Samin

The lady at the front reception desk was exceptionally rude today. I filled in a post card 2 weeks ago in order to get a library membership and I still haven't received it in my mailbox. And so today I just went to the reception desk to ask about it, I was very polite and just wanted to inquire about the postcard because maybe I haven't written down my address properly. But the lady was just so rude, she asked me if I had received the postcard and when I told her I didn't she said "So where is your proof???" I never said that I want a membership right away! I was just inquiring but she was extremely bad mannered and treated me like I was beneath her. And when I asked her if she knows how long it usually takes for the postcard to arrive ( again very politely) she got annoyed again and said "I don't know!!!!!" Honestly I am very disappointed with her behavior. I was polite and courteous to her the whole time I spoke to her but she was extremely hostile. Now I kind of wish I was rude to her too because she didn't deserve my civil behavior. Please teach your staff to be polite and courteous to everyone.

Love this library. This is a great place to study, read and my bring the children as well. I go there sometimes to do my Uni studies. They have my desk in the back, and may computers to work on. Also, my kiddies love it as well. They have a great selection of books. There are lots fiction books, and the same time, they have lots and lots of educational and reference books for children of all ages. Enjoy.

Mirela C.

First time at the Fairview Library theatre and had an amazing experience. The theatre can sit approximately 250 people, and visibility seems to be fine everywhere. I sat on the right side close to the wall and the position was perfect. Facilities are large with lots of natural light and clean washrooms.

First, Toronto Public Libraries generally are amazing according to my visit to many of them. Second, Fairview Library is the best I have seen because of its wide area including kids department. Lastly, It’s the best place for reading books for kids.

Excellent library with great helpful staff. I print at this library often and most of the time the printers all work. Have a great variety of books, including a small section of books/movies in different languages. There are plenty of computers to work from and a few close door study rooms.

I've been to this library numerous time since I was a kid until now. They've renovated since then and have automatic returns when you enter. There's also a theatre with a separate entrance from the parking lot. There's plenty of natural light throughout the library. On the second floor there's fiction novels for adults and young adults. They seem to have an extensive manga collection. There's tables by the windows where lots of people converge for group study sessions. There's also study rooms and lots of computers available.

Honestly, Im very upset and disturbed about the fact that i go to the library which is a place to read and study in peace but even if i go to the 3 rd floor which in my knowledge is supposed to be the quietest place i hear people talking out loud and guards walking by and saying nothing.. like umm excuse me i came to the library to read in quietness or else i would have gone to a coffee shop or at home if i wished to hear other peoples conversations. The second problem is still the quietness but at the 2nd floor; i know theres a station for kids to read as well as play which is good for them and i know they can be a little loud and thats fine but this is a library not a kindergarten, im in the 3rd floor and my ears are going deaf from so much screaming like imagine how loud they are if i can hear them from a floor above. Parents should know that this is a library and they should keep a watch on their kids this is just literally a norm something which should be known to everyone. Another problem is the fact i see people leaving their food containers or bags after leaving the library. Like theres a trash bin in every floor and near the exits, it doesn't cost that much to take care of your own wastes. And something else as well which i consider a problem is sometimes the internet is very bad like i have to go change places where i sit be cause theres not a good connection. The only reason I'm giving 2 starts with all these problems though is the fact that theres a good BOOK SELECTIONS TO READ. That is all i had to say. I hope the staff can fix some of these problems which is not that hard to do seeing there's guards walking by and maybe you can put up some sign such as please be quiet, that may be able to help.

Mark Tang

Limited parking space. Library isn't that big. There are lots of people after school is finished.

Luke Shi

Very nice setting like other TPLs. The wifi is a bit on the slow side, but that is to be expected, since it has many visitors. The children's PC section should be moved. It is too close to the reading area and causes disturbances for readers. The staff is well trained and can manage disrespectful visitors to a good extent. I really like this branch and wish everyone else an enjoyable visit.

Renju Thomas

Great atmosphere, only problem is it is not open late night.

Kathy Isaac

Happy to see the taxpayers money go to a place like that. Closest major intersection Don Mills Road and Sheppard Ave. East. Located on the north side of Fairview Mall which is on the northeast corner of Don Mills and Sheppard Ave. East. Public Transit TTC Sheppard subway east from Sheppard Station to Don Mills Station. TTC bus #25 from Pape subway station to Fairview Mall Dr. TTC bus #85, 139 or 10 from Sheppard subway station to Don Mills station, walk 2 blocks north on Don Mills Road or change to Don Mills Road bus north. Parking Free parking available.

I visit the library at least every 2 weeks & I find it to be a great place to visit, to increase my knowledge & to grow. The books are informative & always available for anyone who loves to read. The new renovated library & theatre is superb.

Since North York Library has closed, this has been the best replacement we've found. Its huge, with a great big collection of books. There are lots of seats and you're guaranteed to find empty ones to sit at, even at the busiest times. There is also a theater which I've been to once and it is a great place for a fun evening.

Charo Salemi

I give 2 stars because is very noisy, the staff should be able to do something about this sometimes. A library suppose to be a quite place, this one is not. Kids running and screaming. People chatting at loud. Not good not good.

Rohan R. Mehta

I have been coming to this Toronto Public Library since mid-2015. My visits were quite regular from April 2017 right until now. I have been to and leveraged services (study rooms, books, computer work station etc.) at different Toronto Public Libraries across the city including the biggest one at Yonge and Bloor. By far the Fairview Library is the cleanest and quietest Toronto Public Library in my opinion. They have good number of study junctions, study booths and personal study tables. Furthermore, this library has adequate amount of computers (normally cleaner keyboards, mouse etc.) and normally you can reserve one without having to wait too much. Overall great place to study, engage in job search activities and acquiring knowledge. The environment here will help with YOUR struggles and/or add to YOUR success. I am grateful to this library. God bless!

Fairview Mall Library is a very nice three story library. The library has many equipments and countless numbers of books. In the afternoon, there are many clubs and extra help/tutoring for students. And sometimes there are also movies for kids to watch on P A Days. There are many computers and private study rooms on the third floor. The staff are also very nice and helpful. I come here everyday to do work and it is most of the time very quiet and I would recommend here.

Fantastic place for huge variety of books and Best part is play area for children. There is a security guard who also keeps an eye on kids.

Aleksander Romero (Ka)

Power went out in my building and I'm WFH so it was chaos until I packed up and went to the Fairview branch. Security guard at the entrance has a clicker keeping track of capacity and now you cant eat or drink inside because you gotta keep your mask on at all times while inside. The WiFi was the best it's ever been and I was easily able to find a good socially distanced workspace on the 3rd floor, and I was able to load money onto my library card and print a bunch of stuff for work. SO AMAZING. I loved it. Thank you so much, Fairview branch public library!

Matthew Incorporated

very bad. staff rude. go to don mills library the staff are so much better there

John Daniels

this library was very busy. I never seen a library this busy before.

Billy Sun

(Translated) This library is very good, but there are thieves. The person sitting behind me left for a while yesterday. Her computer notebook is stolen. Although the library often broadcasts to be optimistic about their own items, I estimate that many people are I don't pay too much attention to myself, this is Canada, who will steal things, but it really happened. So even if you have to leave your seat for a while, it is best to let others look after the items around you to prevent accidents. (Original) 这个图书馆很好,不过有小偷,昨天坐在我后面的人离开了一会,她的电脑笔记本就让人偷走了,虽然图书馆经常广播要看好自己的物品,但我估计很多人都不会太注意包括我自己,这是加拿大,有谁会偷东西呢,可真的就发生了。所以哪怕你要离开座位一会,最好让其他人帮你照看身边的物品,可以防止意外发生

Very good library in a very convenient place. It is close to subway, Fairview mall and many stores. It has 10 study rooms on the third floor and teen and kids space located on second floor. Lots of computers, meeting rooms and study area. You can get free tickets for ROM, agha khan museum and some more locations on Saturdays. There is a line up though. I gave 4 stars because there are not enough plugs near the study tables and many of them do not have plugs around.

superb library, the staff are helpful and very nice, there are many books, there are many places to sit down and relax, there also a youth lounge where you can go in and play some of the latest console games and use i pads and mac books, there are many fun programs to attend every month for free, there is also a very nice theater which produces quality shoes, there are also many nice computers, the only problem is sometimes computers don't work and are slow(rarely though) and the place should be more clean

I happened to stumble on the Fairview Public Library while in the area for an extended period of time (thankfully given that it was hot day!). The library however is only open for pickups of 'On-Hold' items, drop-off of due items and the use of their computers for no longer than one hour. It looks like it is a rather large and spacious library but given this pandemic, the library has had to warden off a number of areas of the library to discourage staying in and just reading/studying/chilling, etc. Staff and security were helpful and supportive. If I find myself in the area again particularly when this pandemic is better managed and more facilities become open to the public again, I'll definitely come back!

This would have been easily a 5 out of 5 stars except under one fundamental condition, the internet. As a university student and for any other university student, you cannot use this library, especially if your cramming for a test. The internet WILL break down on you and you will be forced to leave the library. Only study here if you do NOT need the internet as the internet here has been broken for years. Please get this fixed as this is the differentiator from an outstanding library to a building with significantly less purpose for high school & university students without reliable internet access. This review has resulted in the numerous times coming to this library with optimistic hope that the internet will be working, but has failed on me consistently throughout the years.

Great location since it is just few minutes walks from the mall. There is a little disappointment because no washrooms in third floor. Second floor washroom is pretty small.

Among the largest TPL branches. Extensive collection including highly-technical and specialized science texts. Occasional instances of weak WFi signals. Quiet study spaces available without a booking, so people can hog them all day if they desire.

Staff aren't super friendly, but they'll help you out if asked. Still a nice place to quietly work and read.

But the desks are not so clean and people using it don't care much about its cleanliness (pouring their coffee on desks,...!).

Great place to work and study in a quiet environment. Has comfortable furniture, private rooms, and plenty of computers.

Did their best to serve the public with Covid precautions in place.

I wish I could rate this Toronto library location higher because the library itself is great (how can you complain about an amazing selection of books all free to borrow in a beautiful, clean building?!). However, for such a large library, the parking lot is definitely not adequate. Ideally, I wouldn't have to circle around for over 10 minutes to get a spot nor park at the mall or medical building next door and then walk over just to return a few books. Also, I've found that the staff are not always that helpful. Most recently, I was given a very hard time when I wanted to renew my library card. I had changed my last name and even though I had my marriage license, birth certificate, two government issued IDs, and credit cards with my new name on them, the staff member was extremely reluctant to renew my card. I was so embarrassed that she was making such a big deal about it that other patrons started coming to see what was going on. Needless to say, I left pretty annoyed.

Great place except it can be distracting noisy. The security guard stands around TALKING. This is a library you'd think at least the staff would be the ones ensuring its quiet and not the ones producing the noise.

Great selection of books and movies, friendly staff and lots of space to sit. If you need a plug in a quiet area though you should get here early as the study spots fill up quite quickly, especially the ones with power outlets.
