    Chic... I feel like I just stepped into the Ritz version of a library…read more High Ceiling.. Grand Staircase..Armchairs...Sofa...Cozy Fireplace....Large windows.... 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.

    My friend and I walked by Uxbridge Public Library to get to the heart of downtown Uxbridge. It was…read moreclosed at 4 pm on a Saturday. We got there at 5 pm. This review is more about what we saw and learned walking around the library as tourists. The library was first established in 1859 as the Uxbridge Mechanics Institute and Library. In 1981, this library was deemed a historic building. We saw a sculpture outside the library. Turning of the page is the sculpture's name, created by Wynn Walters in July 2019. We looked through the window to see what the library looked like. We were looking at the Blu-ray and DVDs section on the main floor. The selection was decent. I saw a little free pantry, so we headed over to check it out. It was nicely stocked. We wished that he had something to contribute to it. There was a water fountain across from it. It caters to humans and pets who need to quench their thirst. It's a cute area. There is a table where you can play checkers or chess. The flowers around the library looked nice. We learned that the Uxbridge Horticulture Society helped beautify the library's exterior. Uxbridge has two public libraries. We stumbled on the original. There is also Zephyr Public Library, which is further north. The library is closed on weekend. Its hours of operation differ between what was posted on the door and what is stated online. I'd call the library before heading over. It's a cool library. Here's hoping that we can visit it when we are back and it's not closed. (308)
