We are here almost daily and they are very consistent. Lots of parking on street or in the lot. Building is open for PO Box pick up 24/7. There is also a mailbox inside and one drive up mailbox in the parking lot. There is also a passport office in the post office. You can make an appointment online or at the main counter.

If I'm not mistaken, the library was built in the 50's (1957? - or sooner, not sure)…read more May we start thinking about maybe a newer one maybe a little renovation. I like older buildings, I believe there is something charming(?)/ beautiful about them. However, this is too much for me. Sometimes I feel thigh in some section, and the strong orange tiles in the washrooms (both on top and lower floor) are TOO AGGRESSIVE for me I prefer something more cool (white-gray-light brown kind of color) - same for elevator. Plus the meeting room on the second floor lacks air - it is often exhaled / not fresh as windows are completely closed and there is no A/C. It does not need to be bigger, just updated. Thank you

Could this building be any more awkward? Whose bright idea was it to house the library in the same building as the Surrey RCMP detachment? Whoever you are, please stay away from urban planning and egad! construction. One is hard-pressed to think of a more inappropriate coupling or a less accessible design. This library is not only poorly signed at street level - I dare you to find the entrance! - there are quite a number of stairs to climb to get to it. There is an elevator, yes, but good luck finding it at street level. Good luck finding the parking lot, too, the first time. The hostility doesn't end there, either. This is a library with no quiet space! Absolutely none! At 4 p.m., the tables and chairs are all occupied by Asian students talking away at one another without inhibition. Unfortunately, our own quiet Ocean Park branch, did not have a copy of the reference book needed so there was no choice but to persevere. Happily, in view of the prevailing noise levels, which continued unabated, I was able to persuade the librarian to permit me to borrow the damn thing overnight. Hint: STRONGLY suggest moving popular reference texts from this branch to libraries that actually have reference sections and/or quiet reading rooms. Semiahmoo branch felt more like a high school library reserved exclusively for Asian teenagers, who are not restricted in any way from talking with one another. Have librarians simply given up? Like Vancouver libraries, Surrey's are also all wildly overstaffed. So many highly-paid librarians, so few books, movies and CDs. What do they all do all day, one wonders? Why not direct resources instead at the installation of desperately needed washrooms in city parks and along popular pedestrian walkways like more civilized communities? Ultimately the city should consider a more appropriate, more accessible, more attractive location for such an obviously popular resource. In the meantime, PLEASE place signs to ensure patrons have a quiet place to read. Wall off a room students can book if they need to talk. The default position at a library must be for quiet.

Canadian officials turned me over to CBP in Blain Washington. For reasons unknown a CBP officer removed all my clothes and proceeded to re dress me minus the warm clothing.(long underwear, long and short sleeve shirts and removed the sox on my feet before putting my shoes back on) as I was being released, a CBP agent told me to "try and stay warm" as he sent me out the door on foot to walk 5 miles to a hotel in freezing temperatures. Severe hypothermia set in fast as I walked past snow drifts wearing just a sweater..sweat pants and no socks on my feet. I ended up having to call 911 for assistance.
