    I don't know what the negative reviews here are all about but this, along with Stewart Hall Library…read morewere the libraries of my childhood all the way into university so I have warm, fuzzy feelings about this place. This was my old neighborhood so I had this library, the Pointe-Claire pool and Terra Cotta Park (which was much wilder and more fun then when it still had a running stream) to grow up with. Thanks to the grace of this library, I discovered everything while growing up. The young adults selection of books were great particularly in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Because of that, I still have a soft spot for Dell Yearling paperbacks from that era, with writers like Judy Blume (of course!), Patricia Reilly Giff, Ellen Conford, Constance C. Greene , C. S Lewis, Lloyd Alexander, Alan Garner, Jonathan Bellairs, and dozens of other writers and hundreds of titles I can't remember right now. As a preteen, they used to carry vinyl records here before the advent of CD's and it was thanks to this library that I was able to access the entire record catalog of gateway bands like The Smiths, Depeche Mode, Love and Rockets and R.E.M when they were considered alternative and underground and very hard to come by. You have to remember this was long before the internet and getting access to that music was next to impossible unless you stayed up late to listen to CBC Radio's Brave New Waves with Brent Bambury or New Music Foundation on Monday nights on CHOM FM with Benoit Dufresne and Claude Rajotte. This kicked off a love of alternative, post-punk British New Wave music which has still stayed with me. I don't know if they still have little after-school craft workshops for little kids, but they did in my time. I also remember that their water fountain ALWAYS had unusually cold water and the woods behind the library had a few paths which would take you down to the shops. In the springtime, these woods were covered with trillium flowers. I don't know if this is still the case but during the 1990s, this was the highest-per-capita use library in Canada among municipal and public libraries, which should tell you something about the collection here.

    Hey! It's a library! Full of books and people that are reading or sleeping or being hushed after…read moretalking too loud. Isn't it what a library should be like? I say yes. It's old, packed with books and tables and chairs, some more comfy than others and actual living plants everywhere there's a window. I arrived here around 4pm on a Tuesday (2016 elections, this might be my very last review before Trump or Hillary wins!?!) and kids were all over having fun and talking loudly. I asked if there was a quieter area and the man directed me to a peaceful oasis which is the reference room. I read another review which was a little negative but I honestly don't get it. This place is wonderful. BTW, you need a password to go on their free wifi. This library is right next door to the pool and arena and Terra Cotta park! What a great area!

    This wonderful library truly carried me through both college and university, and it holds a very…read morespecial place for me. It became my reliable space for studying, reading, and finding focus during long days and late afternoons. There is genuinely something for everyone here, as the library is very spacious and offers an impressive variety of resources for all ages and interests. With four floors dedicated to different needs, including music, children's areas, extensive book collections, and quiet study rooms, it is easy to find the perfect environment depending on your mood or purpose. The sunlight throughout the building creates a bright, peaceful atmosphere that makes spending hours there feel comfortable. One of the things I love most about this library is that despite how popular and busy it can be, it remains incredibly quiet. People are respectful, and there is a shared sense of consideration that makes it an ideal place to concentrate. My favorite study area includes comfortable cushioned chairs and large tables that give you plenty of space to spread out and truly settle in for long study sessions. The library also feels thoughtfully designed to encourage productivity and comfort, with clean, well maintained spaces and a welcoming layout that never feels overwhelming. Having a coffee inside the library is the perfect touch, allowing you to enjoy a coffee or drink while reading or studying if you feel like it. Overall, this library is a true gem and a space I will always appreciate for its calm energy, excellent resources, and supportive environment.
