I love this place. Staff are wonderful — approachable, knowledgeable, and helpful. Bathrooms are clean. The whole VPL system is awesome. We are so lucky here in Vancouver.

Great books/materials & super staff! ????

Super friendly staff and I'm so glad the library is here! The collection is a little smaller than other branches, but requesting to have a book brought in from another branch is free.

Small VPL branch. A decent selection of loans and there are helpful and friendly staff. The library is usually quiet, though sometimes when it gets busy there can be a slight hum of whispers and noise. Although it is mostly out of convenience, I visit often and order holds to this branch. Overall, it gets the job done, though keep in mind this branch is little (not much table space/chairs).

Calm, knowledgeable, helpful staff... Good protocols and still great resources available

This library is obviously geared toward children's enrichment! And that is awesome for the parents and children themselves! I feel shame when I read the reviews badmouthing this establishment. I understand everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it seem kind of selfish to me when coffee shops are every where these days!

This is my VPL location that serves our family for the many activities and borrowing of books, cds, movie DVDs and general entertainment that is available... the biggest special feature to this Kitsilano site is the care and quality service by the staff.. any question will be answered either directly or with asking another staff member.. the Covid-19 situation is very well taken care here at Kits VPL.. again, the staff are super and “””thumbs-up””” To each and every one of them !!

Small, had limited power outlets, but they got more of em. They seem friendly enough behind the desk. Presumably you can request books from the main library, which is convenient if you live in kits

Robert Atwood

Great!

Tess Kitchen

Nice staff. Decent kids area, though in comparison I like how Britannia's kids area, being further from the quiet/study areas, makes you feel like less of a nuisance when your kid makes noise. Small but big enough to browse the collection.

-No outlets for laptops (the outlets that are in the walls are taped over heavily with signs that say "PLEASE DO NOT USE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS") -No one seems to have any respect for "library voices"; everyone talks at full volume. -Tiny; very hard to find deskspace to study -Children's section can get very noisy, and it's such a small library that that noise can make it incredibly hard to concentrate. It's unfortunate that the city lets this neighborhood be so underserved; Kits Library needs an overhaul!

Nice and quiet great selection even though it's small.

Julián Andrés Carvajal

A great place with friendly employees! They don't have work stations in case you are looking to work from there but they have a lovely patio. I would recommend you to bring something to put on any of the tables to protect your computer. They have a very lovely community garden as well :)

Rachel Lee

Good

I'm reviewing this to counter some of the negative comments I read about this branch of the Vancouver Public Library. I've been using this library for over 3 years. I've never had a negative experience, not one, and I visit the library approximately once a month. It's clean and well maintained. It's a small branch so there are not a lot of books on the shelves, but with the magic of the reserve system, any book you want will be delivered to the branch and held for you there, usually within a week of booking it on the vpl website. I would enjoy more books at the branch, but I appreciate that they are balancing the needs of the users and the demands on the space. This building is not a study area, it's not going to offer quiet, or a place to plug in your laptop. That's not the facility's purpose, nor should it be. It's a single floor that houses books, a children's area, a computer lab, cd's, videos, video games, and more.
