Reviews of Toronto Public Library - Beaches Branch (Library)

Eric Davis

I went in some weeks back just out of curiosity as I'd seen it many times when I cut through Kew Gardens on my regular beach boardwalk outings. The librarian asked if she could help and I explained I just dropped in to have a peek …

Branch is located on Queen at Kew Gardens. It’s a beautiful building, and has decent supply of reading and resource materials. Can be frequented by homeless looking individuals.

The staff is nice. Quiet for the most part. It's a big open connected area though, you might get some noise distractions depending on who is there, you can always hear the front desk and poeple asking questions on the main top floor. Tip* You can eat lunch in privacy on the bottom floor activity/ "study" room if it's not being used. I thought it was just an events room, but you can always go there if it's free.

I use this branch frequently and have come to count on the efficient and knowledgable staff. I love the fact that we can borrow items like the New York Times Magazine, NYT Review of Books and a host of other awesome periodicals and feature films. There's big study tables with power and wifi available. The branch sits right on the edge of the beautiful Kew Gardens which has paths that lead to the Beach. Fabulous location.

One of the three oldest libraries . It has a really retro look inside on the upper floor with a fire place . A peaceful place to study.

Lots of seating, air conditioned and tons of new books.

Mobile Assistant

Cozy and yet spacious.

Julie Beauchamp

Nice location and big tables upstairs where you can work...but don't expect total silence as both employees and users can be (and are usually) quite loud (annoying).

Chris Sandy

It's a library

Gitanjali Verma

Friendly, helpful staff. Good opening hours. Printing (documents) is very reasonably priced. 3 floors in this library. Great children's section. The owl outside the building adds a magical touch to this historic library.

Tomas Wright

If I lived in the area I'd be here every day. They show movies! They have an elevator! They have a play space for kids! Events! Super comfy and cushy seats by big bay widows that face the park! It's also easily accessible for the disabled, and is a gorgeous looking building.
