Whitby Public Library has all the bell and the whistles and anything that I want in my dream library... I think I can even organize my "dream" wedding here! The only problem is the limited number of parking spots. Only around 15 or so for a large library this size (it has more computer terminals than parking lots!!) Of course there are some reasonable municipal parking lots right next to the library at 50 cents a hour and free on evenings, weekends and holidays.

I came across this library when I was in Oshawa. My class had gotten cancelled and the library at…read moreour school wasn't quiet enough for me. So I opened up yelp and came across this one not to far from school. The building looks very pretty. And the inside is nice and quiet. Very organized and clean. There are two levels one has a few computers in the far corners and the second level has some tables and couches to do some work. Asides from having books on both floors. It also has a cafe in the building, which was neat. I haven't seen a library with a cafe before. I had chosen the couch spot to do some work and sit by the fireplace since it was cold outside. It was quiet and I was able to finish a lot of work while I was there. I would definitely recommend this library to groups as well, since they have rooms you can book to do group assignments. The only thing I would say sucks is the parking, I wasn't able to find parking near the library so I had to park at a P lot, which wasn't too expensive. $1 for 1 hour.

Love this library! Very quiet and lots of parking space since it's attached to a community centre…read more If you need to get work done, there are study rooms available and a lot of outlets across the library. Quiet and spacious!

Their parking sucks, there's no where to pay & they don't accept debit visa which sucks. Also, not enough hot people there. They were relatively meh. However, they had this one building that was quite nice though! Seemed pretty new and clean. Also, I felt like no one knew where everything was. I was trying to find the UA building and people had no idea where that was at all. We asked about 15 different people and no one knew. We were all pointed into the wrong direction.

This coffee shop is located inside Whippie Central Library but they have a separate entrance on…read moreDundas Street as well. The place is quite spacious with about three sit down tables and five or six barstools along the window. The place is bright and clean and the assortment of foods and baked goods and coffee is great. On my visit I just stopped for a quick caramel latte so all I can comment is on that. A medium latte was five dollars and it was quite tasty. It's not fancy so there's no caramel drizzle or latte art or anything like that but it's just a nice cup of latte and convenient if you're visiting the area.

It is right by a Whitby Library and not too far from parking and the GO bus stop. Come drop by to get rehydrated and nourished. There is a Brita station deeper in the same complex across from the washrooms and a beautiful polar bear seats and leafy backdrops closer to wear the library's entrance is. Cute place overall.

I was driving along Rossland Road looking for Whitby Public Library... I drove passed some really…read morenice buildings hoping one of those is my destination..... but my GPS kept asking me to keep driving driving... until I was asked to turn into a strip shopping plaza.... The good thing I have to say about Rossland Library is does have plenty of free parking... and the floor to ceiling windows facing the parking lot does let a lot of natural light in. The collections and quite limited but it is convenient for the people in the area since there are a few condos within walking distance....

There are countless computer terminals for access to the Internet, both at the upper and main level of the library. In order to access the terminal, you do need a valid Ajax Library card. If you are out of towner like me, then bringing your laptop is essential for Wifi connection. The connection here is free and quick, compare to Pickering Main Branch library I been to. The 2nd level of the library has a special study area at the back has big floor to ceiling windows overlooking an open space. There are a few armchairs if you just want to laid around and take it easy. The atmosphere here is more formal. Quiet and you expect to be whispering to each other... shhh..... time for me to take a nap in one of the armchairs!

This makes me truly happy. The Library has a quiet study room located on the 2nd floor and multiple other tables and chairs for people to sit down and study. Moreover, a recent installment of a few individual study rooms on the 2nd floor, right hand side, is an excellent addition to the growth of young minds! As always, gaining access to knowledge at a young age is excellent, for young minds are our future. The Library gives them a warm, friendly, and caring environment to help them nurture their minds! Amazing place!
