Reviews of Toronto Public Library - Leaside Branch (Library)

Esther Screen

I love librarys and this is definitely one of the nicest. It's smaller but has plenty of seating, including arm chairs facing a large window in the back. There are a lot of events especially for children. The room reserved as a Mini Meusum is a good place to study because you can close the door. The 88 Bus drops you off near by and there's free parking. There's a larger room that can be reserved for bigger events, a play ground outside, and the new drinking fountain is specifically designed for bottle refills only. The only downside is that it can get a bit noisy in the kids section. As long as you don't need absolute silence all the time, it's great place to hang out.

Very helpful staff in most cases; a few are outstanding. Usually quiet enough to study and think. Rarely overcrowded. A great range of books and access to anything I require.

Nice local Toronto Public Library. They have a good selection of books. Nice to have computer workstations for doing work or surfing the web.

They've done a great job taking care of their customers during the pandemic and before - friendly and helpful.

This is a small library but look big and airy inside. It has a very tall ceiling and windows long the upper walls. There is the typical reading area with tables and chairs and a long bank of computers. What is unique is there are 4 computers in the children's area. There is on self-serve check-in (just a drop box) but they have 4 self-serve checkout stations. The checkout allows you to also login with you library card and password. This allows you to make reservations, pay overdue fines, and also allows check-out receipts to be emailed instead of printing them. There is a rather large activity room. There is free parking along the front of the library. There is free WiFi and washrooms.

Small library but it's a good place for study.

Michael Gfroerer

Clean and functional up-scale Leaside library; suburban but close to mid-town transit. Nice and quiet mid-afternoon. Large selection of magazines and a decent-sized children's area. Book Club & Writers' Group!

Gigi & Adrian Clark

Small community library with a variety of books and a great kids section. Access to many databases for research at the counter, public computers, DVD, CDs, etc.

Chris Bigler

Great library with a new playground right beside it. Excellent way to spend a Saturday morning with your kids.

Vince Dumond

Quiet. Well stocked with current books. Helpful friendly staff.

I love this branch. The staff is always friendly, the library is clean and orderly. I love the section where you can just stare at the street resting on one of the chairs. I have been using the branch for nearly 3 years. Recently they misplaced one of my books that was on hold and immediately got in touch with me and corrected the misshap within 3 days or so. I really appreciate the quality of service.

nice place to visit and print your documents. I did a couple of visits even during COVID-19 and the staff is great and they welcome and greet you with everything they got to offer. I encourage you to your documents and print them here with inexpensive cost probably 10/Cents a page.

Nice and clean... New bathrooms... Excellent! Outside there's a brand new splash pad.... Brand new playground... Brand new tennis courts with evening lights! Wow!

Worst library ever, so noisy full of crying children everywhere. Even the staff screams so loud to each other as if it is a public playground and allow the children to run around as they please. will never come back to this library again and do not recommend this place as a study zone. Waste of tax payers dollar.

This is a wonderful library in a quiet residential setting - with parking! The staff is helpful and courteous. Good place to cogitate in a comfortable chair or use the internet. If you need to dampen the sounds round you, wear headphones as there are no rules in regard to noise in any Toronto library; they certainly don't want to discourage children from coming; nor do we as a society.

One of the prettiest branches, in a residential area park with windows to admit plenty of natural light. Typical selection from a TPL neighborhood library. Only potential concern is lack of soundproofing of children's section.

Anna Enenajor

Great place to go with children of all ages. Playground and splashpool is next to the building. Lots of parking around.

AJ T.O

Its a cute library with some nice seating. They used to have quite a few kids events, but seems not as often now. Huge benefit is the parking. Its got free, easy to access parking right in front and is next to a small park (good for little ones under 5).
