    Lots of open counter space

    I've had somewhat mixed experiences here. I have come before when it was really quiet, though that was when the place was still new. Any time I've been there since has been really busy with really long wait times. You really need to be prepared to be spending quite a few hours, so bring a book or a friend (good luck with the latter!).

I'll save you the gritty details of my dealings with a different Country's system, and instead give a loud round of applause to Nova Scotia's Vital Stats department. Thank you for making my life easier! I found out yesterday that I needed a long form birth certificate, and that I needed it in a hurry. I applied online for the document and called the Hollis Street office pronto to find out if the document could be quickly prepared. I spoke with a nice gentleman who sent an email and asked me to call back today. I made the call this morning and was told I could pick it up anytime today! I was also told that the priority post fee of $20 that I paid would be refunded since I was going to pick it up in person. When I got there today, I was greeted by multiple people offering me assistance. I had my certificate in hand within a matter of minutes and was so relived to deal with real people, in person, who seemed to genuinely care about what I needed. I wasn't just a number, and for that Service Nova Scotia, I am very grateful. Thanks again for the great service.

The lady behind the counter was very friendly and assisted me with filling out the sets of paperwork. She came back with them very quick. Every time I have been here, it has been pretty busy. You go here for just about everything, from wedding licence, birth certificates, etc.

    The Keshen Goodman library is absolutely amazing. Lots of natural light, windowseats built along…read morethe entire front of the building and a hefty inventory of all sorts of books to steal your time. The Keshen Goodman library is located adjacent to the new Mainland Commons sports structure. There is ample parking and self-scan checkouts, all of which combine to make your time as enjoyable and productive as possible. Metro Transit also has bus stops just outside on both sides of the street, so commuting sans car is a breeze. This library branch also sponsors evening seminars and public-interest talks; check out the website for details on upcoming events.

    I don't generally visit this library since it's quite far from home, but a couple years ago I…read morefrequented the Keshen Goodman every week for tutoring sessions. My experiences at this library have generally been disappointing for the following reasons: - It is EXTREMELY loud. Despite the vastness of this building, you will be hard-pressed to find a truly quiet area to read/work/study. My student and I often met just after school got out or after suppertime, and many extracurricular clubs seem to use the centrally located conference rooms at these times. The problem? The doors are wide open, meaning all can hear the excited shouting and clamoring of the club members. The cafe down the hall also contributes to the noise. - Inadequate study areas. Some may disagree with me on this point, but I have never had an easy time finding a quiet, private area in this library. - So-so selection. This has undoubtedly changed in the past year (I hope). With that being said, the architecture of the Keshan Goodman is interesting and does allow for a great deal of natural light. Perhaps I'll drop by the next time I'm in the area to see whether conditions have improved.
