    Absolutely beautiful architecture outside and in, I always enjoy spending time just looking around the building and books. The place is always clean, I always feel comfortable and feel I can ask for help no problem. It’s a two floor library which is so stunning. They offer computers and printing as well.

    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.

    Love this library. So quaint and historic, stroller friendly and enjoy the baby time on Fridays. Great place to hang with your baby!

    The staff does a great job. Everything is clean, it's peaceful, the staff is attentive and I feel like if I need help I can get it. I see the staff help people use the computers with incredible calmness and patience. The security guard is always so chill. The washroom is taken care of, I've never walked into any kind of mess.

    Amazing place! People are really nice and helpful. One the first floor you have the kids section but on the second floor you have big table and it's pretty quiet. There is an elevator and I think by the park you can use a slide. And you have plenty of historic facts about the building and its history. Going to the library is on of my favorite thing in life! I don't know if it's still the case but last year they didn't have a french section, that's the only thing missing a multi lingual section with books from everywhere (that would be so cool) Thank the city to make sure we have accessible libraries at a foot step. And clean and welcoming ! (Vive chow! She is going to do amazing things I feel it)

    It looks magical from outside in the evenings with the lights flowing through the windows. Nice place to study with a view and I love the vibrant crimson paint that brightens up the library and really makes it stand out.

    I love the people in this library, however it is not accessible. and the painted red wall will give you anxiety. Can you please do us all a favour and paint the walls white? Its truly disturbing, feels like a fast food restaurant not a library.
