The puzzle may be temporary ~ we've worked on two different puzzles in the past month. The teen area upstairs is cool. You can check out comics, manga and more !! Cozy up with your tea and a magazine while the sun kisses your nose ~ inside or on their second story enclosed patio. I highly anticipated the opening of this library. The first year after its opening, I felt the interior lacked warmth. Five years later this gem established loyal visitors, those visitors and the new, bring a pulse ~ a warmth. This is one of several Edmonton library's i highly recommend. The librarians are fun & informative ~ and patient with our never ending requests to bring in BOOKS ! Check them out !!

I love that I can borrow books and read them off my phone using the Libby app. So cool. I put my…read morephone screen on dark mode and read for a few minutes in bed on my way to dreamland. This gives me a way to read that doesn't disturb my partner while letting me brush away the cares of the day from my busy mind. My eyes start to close and I turn my phone off. I don't need to go to the library to get a good book, I can get one instantly from a list of available books. Did I say how much I love Libby? I love Libby! Libby helps me keep track of characters in murder mysteries, it allows me to check the meaning of a newly encountered word, it also lets me highlight sections and take notes for the next time I borrow a book that I might read again. If I want to see a picture of some plant or architectural feature or type of hat mentioned in the text, Libby makes it easy to google for an image. Yes I love Libby.

I was also helped with requesting a novel into circulation. There are so many things you can do online. Cool site. This location rocks. It's in an historic building. It's busy but quiet. I like to sit downstairs and read magazines. I also like the foreign language education C.Ds selection. Upstairs there are rooms to host community events and special interests. Open on Sunday. Good hours.

Love the self-checkout for the books, and the staff is very helpful. I had inquired if we could borrow books during our short stay. Unfortunately, like any library, you have to have an Alberta ID in order to get a library card. Thankfully, my dad came along, and we applied for one for him so my girls could borrow books while we are in town. And new applicants get a nice book tote bag for free.

My first visit here and we really did have a fire evacuation? Gosh that was a LOUD noise! That…read moresaid, this branch is beautifully constructed, in a lovely park and has ample parking (yes the parking lot might be a bit confusing but oh well). The room that we had booked for our meeting was quite large and there was a good amount of seating for our group. The lighting here was lovely and this branch seemed busy enough but not overwhelmingly so when we were here. If I lived closer, I'm sure I would visit more frequently. I'm glad EPL has such great library branches!

I was quite happy to visit this location recently for an event I was helping to host. The staff are very helpful and the building itself is of some really neat new construction.

The larger space, super tall ceilings and windows everywhere make for a light and airy environment. The first time I visited the staff greeted me and my husband and explained the new branch to us. The second time we were in they were about to launch into the same thing, but then recognized us and said "Oh you guys are already old pros." That was pretty cute and it's nice to be remembered. Whereas the staff at the temporary branch seemed to be rotating, the people here seem to be permanent. There are several computers on both levels. I like the area upstairs with a couple of low tables and chairs beside the window. Perfect for reading or doing some work on your laptop. The selection isn't the same as Milner or one of the bigger branches, but some of the sections are worth browsing through. I always reserve my books online and just pick them up at the branch, but I was recently able to just pick it up right off the shelf here. A very welcome addition to the neighbourhood!

My favourite library in the area…read more I enjoy the convenient location being a 5 minute walk away, the free underground parking and street level parking, the large spacious area spread across 2 levels, the architectural accents, delightful artistic mosaic pieces. Let's not forget there's actually a cafe inside the library! Who wouldn't enjoy curling up with a good book and a latte here? :) The strathcona library also has a bunch of programs available ranging from kids to adults, a decent size rack of books & movies on sale outside the main doors in the lobby, and lovely staff. Bonus: it's inside the Community Centre, which hosts a variety of different events throughout the year, such as farmers markets during the evening of a particular weekday during the spring & summer (Wednesday's I think?). Also! New Years in the Park is great! Free hot chocolate and they still lit fireworks this past New Year's Day (the -freezing day)

What can I say? we have the most incredible library in the history of libraries. No, really, I…read morethink we have a book on how we are the most incredible!! This lovely library opened in November of 2010 and I have been a regular ever since. There is something for everyone here. We have big tall windows to let lots of natural light pour in and cozy nooks to curl up in. There are plenty of plug ins for laptops and chargers as well as lots of comfy seating. There is an area with desks where you can plug in your laptop or there is another section that has computers you can use. There is free Wifi - that doesn't require a library card or anything else convoluted to use. The library is two stories and there is a coffee shop on the first floor, with the adult study area upstairs. The first floor houses the children's section with a great magical kingdom area. Speaking of kids (and adults who want to be kids) you can also check out a Wii and play it in one of the alcoves. Of course, the library also has the usual vast selection of hard cover, soft cover and e-books. DVDs, CDs etc. to check out. There are automated check out and return machines but if you have to go to the information desk, they are pleasant and helpful. I honestly can't think of one way they could improve on this place!

They have 3 stalls for EV's but only one had been working. Then all the cords got cut and they were all down for a bit. Cords were replaced and I was able to charge again a few weeks ago.

Both of those are right near the front so it's easy to get in and out when you're in a hurry. We also check out the occasionally video game; getting games from the library is a great way to try them out if you're not sure they're worth purchasing. Customer service here has always been excellent whenever I've needed help and overall the branch feels cozy and calm. There are plenty of computers and lots of tables for people to spread out and read. Woodcroft isn't the newest or the fanciest EPL branch but it still has everything you need in a community public library.

When did it become O.K. to walk around and talk loudly on your cell phone? Why do customers and staff carry on loud coversations with utter disregard for the patrons trying to read? I just couldn't believe I was in a library. Aside from that, they did not have any of the books on my list. They were not checked out, they simply did not exist. The location is great, but I won't go back. My local EPL is better.
