Reviews of Vancouver Public Library, Joe Fortes Branch (Library)

Heejung Lee

(Translated) Small but good. But it is a pity that there is no Korean book. I would like to donate a book with those who would like it if the library says it will set aside. (Original) 작지만 좋아요. 그런데 한국어책이 구비되지 않아 아쉽네요. 도서관측에서 따로 자리 마련해준다고 하면 뜻맞는 분들과 함께 책 기증하고 싶네요.

This is a very nice space, with big windows and materials for all individual needs. They also deliver and collect books for those homebound, and have really nice children's programs. Evenings are busy with families. I look forward to taking advantage of their services. Thanks for showing us around.

The selection of books is modest, and the technology is a bit dated. But the space is bright and inviting, the atmosphere relaxed, and the staff exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Good library for west-end residences, only problem is number of desks and powers are limited.

I would give the library five stars, and for a branch library VPL, it definitely deserves that. I probably sound like a name dropper, but after visiting the British library and seeing original copies of Shakespeare's works, and the Magna carta, and Jane Austen's novels, I can't really place Joe for his branch in the same bailiwick. That said, as a neighbourhood branch, it's outstanding. I have found all of staff helpful. Their personalities are different, which is great,, AND, in my experience, all personalities are willing to be of help.

This is a great library, the staff are very nice, they always have a computer available and its super cheap and easy to print stuff. You can also order books from other libraries and they will deliver them there!

If looking for quiet good luck. People talk on there phones like there at home and there is a day care center/kids zone next to the library where the parents don't even try to teach there kids any library rules like be queit.But don't fall asleep they will be all over you.
