I have spent COUNTLESS hours here volunteering every summer, and I know this library in and out…read more It's a great place to study, use the internet, read, and bring kids for the library's great array of programming and activities which you can find out about on their website. There are three floors, the first is mostly for kids and teens, the second and third for quiet-er study and reading. Lots of tables, books, and comfy chairs means there is always a place available.
If you can't find something you're looking for through the catalogue, ask a librarian, they are all very friendly and know where to find everything. The library has a huge collection of books, DVDs, government reference materiels, newspapers, magazines, board games, historial-London documents, decades of newspapers on microfilm, music, accessible reading materiels, computers, unemployment services, etc. If you are getting hungry or need a caffeine boost, a Little Red Roaster is on the first floor and offers decent coffee and snacks.
I have been bothered once or twice by creepy strangers, but I've also been a camp counsellor watching 20 kids at a time run around the library and read books - so I have no doubt about it being a very safe place and library security is very helpful and available.
