Reviews of Round Prairie Branch Library (Library)

Reveluvblinkcanada

Nice place to study (especially for finals), but some workers chitchat pretty loudly which distracts me from studying. I don't often listen to music while studying so I couldn't really avoid the noise. They laugh really loudly and I hope they keep their voices on a library volume as expected from a public space. Ssshhhh.

Very nice new library. They have fancy check out machines. There is NO parking though!

Russ Phillips

It's nice to have a new library close to home. The kids really love books and we have borrowed hundreds since it opened. The checkout is pretty fun too.

A bird hit one of the windows like a year ago and left a dusty silhouette of itself. This impromptu art piece really speaks to me about mankind's hubrice and never ending lust for knowledge. I interpret this message as in spite of goals being so close they sometimes come with a great unforseen cost and are limited by means beyond our control. I often reflect on the artist bird that commissioned this intriguing piece and if he paid the ultimate price to do so like Icarus. Thought provoking and awe inspiring through the right lens. Never been inside tho, cause I own a TV so like whats even the point of books and whatnot.

Minimal selection of books but I love their gaming and innovation rooms.

Do not come here to study. Kids are screaming non-stop and the parents could not care less. The staff don't do a thing about it. Its like a daycare with less rules. -10 stars.

This is a lovely neighbourhood library branch. As per Covid regs things are quiet. You can still get books, movies and games. You can use the computer for an hour - if you print fewer than 20 pages it's free for the time being. You can use the washroom. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Since i live in this neighbourhood, I can just walk instead of having to drive there every time I visit the library. I love how spacious it is, and most especially the self checkouts. The self checkouts are much easier. The only problem I have is that there is not as much books as the other libraries like Frances Morrison but considering that it is a new library, then I get why there's not a lot. Thank you for finally making a library in stonebridge.

This was my first time at this library, I came hoping to find a new quiet place to study away from home. The librarians were continuously talking loudly and there were a few grown people stomping around and one yelling across the building. I thought putting my earbuds in and playing some music would cancel out the noise but I could still hear the chatter. Had to leave after sitting there for 20 minutes because of the noise. I won't be coming back, and will not recommend this place to people who wish to study in a semi-quiet environment. However, the place is clean and provides nice areas to sit comfortably to study/read.

Staff are AWESOME very helpful and very friendly and accommodating. I'm super impressed. I was given a little tour, I had all of my questions answered and it was NOT noisy at a while I was there. There is a media room that the staff will let you study in if it is not being used (this is a bookable space- 3hrs for $50). While we were there a person was inside studying. This small library is very tech forward and I'm very impressed. There is a separate room, closed off with doors, for the little ones. There are some negative reviews regarding noise. This library is in a family neighborhood, it was not noisy when i was there, and if I was there trying to study, I'd ask when are the quieter times of day and plan accordingly. Parking is free, bike racks are out front. This library is very accessible. I'm so happy we have this little gem of a library within our Stonebridge community!

Love this library! Easily my favourite in Saskatoon. Nicely modern and new and they put on GREAT kid programs for babies and toddlers as well. It’s a bit small in comparison to majority of libraries in the city but I haven’t been disappointed at all.

Luc Lasdfie

The staffs ruined the place tho, talking rudely and loudly like it's not a library but a supermarket.

Love this place!

Chirag Patel

Nice kids room with great selection of books for kids. Nice seating area for students who can studying with interruptions. New building and great layout.

Johnny ManGuy

The driveway in is a bit dicey. Watch for drivers cutting into the lane, coming out from Tim Hortons. Lots of parking in front of the structure. You can park in any of the spots that are alongside the building, not just in front of the library. They have a lot more public computers available than before the pandemic started.

Kaitlin MacPherson

It's a nice, clean, little quaint environment. However, children are loud, and not told to quiet down (any other library I've been in across Canada you're told to shush), the computers are first-come first serve, and you have children playing games on them, when people may need them for more practical purposes. I think there should be built in timers on the computer, or you should have to book them. Very annoying. The only reason it got 2 stars instead of 1 is the tidiness of it.

Kari Olfert

This location has mostly new books and a scanner where you can check out your entire pile of books at once. ????☺

Jade Agecoutay

Rude staff. Unwelcoming environment. Felt like an alien in this place. Won't be going back.

Juste Gerein

Very modern, bright and convenient facility. Good equipment in the meeting room: wifi, flat screen TV, whiteboards, sink, etc.

Hudsonmakka

It's great with viedo games

Staffs are very nice, environment is clean. However, it is true that it's very noisy because of children crying. There're always children crying, never stop!!! I don't understand why children here are so poorly behaved, their parents seem don't mind bothering others at all.

I would not recommend this place if you are going to study. Nobody is more inconsiderate than the staff. Growing up, everybody knew to be quite in a library. Somehow the employees of this library have forgotten this. When I mean it is the worst place to find a quite area, I am not exaggerating. Save yourself the headache and find somewhere else.

Lacey Sutherland

great places to sit, very modern, bright. however, not ideal place to study as the workers talk very loud, kids run everywhere, screaming. their should be a dedicated study place, away from the noise or a dedicated childerns area, along with the librarians desk where they can talk and give information as loud as they please.

Andrew Loken

A different model for Saskatoon Public Library. Located in a commercial and residential building it has some advantages in terms of access and convenience.

john pilon

This is our favorite branch, we drive past two others to patronize Round Prairie. Very kind and helpful librarians and good selection of books and activities.... Parking can be a challenge.....

Glenn Stephenson

Very friendly and helpful library staff, plus a clean, comfortable atmosphere. Thanks

Renee G

Skylar Banach

I'm surprised at the ratings given I can never study here. As I write this I am in the library while a child bangs the glass door with her mother watching, parents yelling at their kids, and staff talking to each other trying to sound louder than the kids. Nobody acts like this is a library.
