Reviews of Ottawa Public Library - Greenboro (Library)

Akram Thabit

Great staff and nice atmosphere for studying in the quiet room. Wifi is mostly solid but theres been a couple times where it was down for a bit

Best place for kids! Very quiet and clean.

Nice library in a quiet community, lots of study tables are still available even during COVID-19. The quantity and variety of books is limited and the quiet room is currently occupied by immunization clinic.

Quyen Nguyen

Great selection of books, movies, music, magazines, and video games. Staff are great too!

WhiteRabbit

Decent selection of books. Ample internet terminals. The Quiet Room is a huge plus, because the noise in the place is unbelievable some nights and library staff seem unwilling to do anything about it.

Great library and fantastic stuff. There is plenty of room to study or read! The only thing that goes against it is the chance that a mother with few unruly-stress-free-raised children sets up a camp next to you - she wins every time :-( and you will need to fold your books and go find some other peaceful place to continue.

Great library with amazing sections for everyone in the family. However, if you want to go study there I'd recommend staying home. It's often filled with teenagers pretending to study (I'm a teenager who actually wants to study) so it's often loud and sometimes a mess because of them. Since it's also open space, you can often hear children screaming from downstairs which is annoying, but understandable - so bring headphones. Otherwise a great place to lounge, work, or study. Oh and you can come and get some cool second hand books!

The OPL offers so many services and educational/informational tools. This year they have increased their rates on property tax, but I still think it's worth for what you get. They always have updated books, the holds are often not too long. I've used their services for what fees I've paid tenfold.

It's a nice library with a big selection, however sometimes it's quite noisy. The most recent time I was there, there was some kind of kids class going on which could be heard in the entire library it was so loud. Would be nice if they could move events like that to a private room where it wouldn't disturb the other library patrons.

The staff member working the desk was the most friendly person I’ve ever met and made my day.

I usually order on line, checking out the books take seconds using the check out machines. from entering the library to leaving takes less than two minutes for me.

Ife Oluwa

It's contains a very comfortable atmosphere with a great selection of books and media. Moreover, it's very family friendly with an area for toddlers and children, an area for teens and also adults--it's truly a boon for the community, as it offers many free services to people in the area. I love it!

Mei Fong

Michel Devost

Great venue. Clean and functional. Friendly staff.

Mohamed R.

Very spacious, 2 floors, huge variety. I mainly borrow video games (PS3, PS4) nowadays. They always have a selection of newly released video games too like PS5. Staff is nice.

Penghui Carrie Sun

I grew up here, and the staff are so nice. Lots of great programming. The selection is up to date, lots of space, and lots of services and things that you can book. Nothing but fond memories here.

Kate Qi Cao

My favourite library in this area. Nice and clean environment, friendly staff, plenty of seats. Spent most of my time there studying for my professional exam in the silence room and workout in the downstairs gym.

Sonja Kruitwagen

This is a beautiful open concept library. The only problem is the sound from the kids class carries everywhere. They have automatic checkout.

Alex Seguin

Quiet, well-maintianed library. Good selection and staff are awesome. The services here are great too and lots of different places to read or study or whatever.

Maher Jebara

This library is boss. They even have a fire place on the second floor that works. Great for studying and even for the kids to have different activities.

Kevin S

Great place to get books and there is a gym as well in the building

Kevin Damen

It's a very nice kid friendly library

Abdualziz AlGablan

I often borrow books for my kids from this library.

SAP Consulting

Great facility & quiet study space.

Christopher Accad

Only downside to the library was the space available, although that was for sure in part to covid restrictions, which they follow to a T. With massive tables and excellent wifi, this is one of my go-to spots to go. whether to read, study, or even relax.

Brenda Chenett

Amazing. Big, clean, great variety of books and games. Very welcoming and kind people working there. Loved it!

Tristan Pearson

Jenn Spencer

okay-ish - hours are not consistent. I have a book on hold to pick-up and someday its open at lunch, other days its not. Other times its open past 4, but then sometimes its shut at 4 on the dot. Why not just keep it 10-7 daily. Its really frustrating as a working, single parent. If I take my 2 year old in - she'll want to play. If I want to get in & out, I need lunch. 3 times in a week that I tried to slip away from work only for library to be shut when I get there.

Micah Rietschlin

They are running a great public service, facility is a great place to grab some learning material. The online ordering and local pick ups are the way to go in 2020

Denis Vermeirre

Longtime family favourite: Large kids area downstairs, bright and airy, with plenty of places to read and study. Great selection of books and foreign-language DVDs.

Jody-Anne Cargill

Today we went by to get registered. We were greeted by pleasant helpful staff. We met the program leader for babytime and she showed us all about the library, advised us if the programs and taught us how to use the library. It was a great experience and we are thrilled to be members!

CG

I love this location. Sadly, the pandemic has forced them to revamp things and there is less selection as a result.

Diane Marie

Only problem with this library is the noise. Kids section is located on the first floor, when you come in and we hear the noise and lack of supervision from everywhere in the Library.

Alissar Elafi

Very friendly.

Cassandra Martineau

It's a nice library, located inside the community center building. It has a big section of kids books and it now lets you borrow musical instruments.
