I love this place because it's so much more than books. They have rotating devices that can be used…read morewithin the library. Recently they had a sewing machine available. Imagine how it would change a child's life to be able to try out such a piece of machinery. They offer so many helpful services. You can browse for items online and put holds on them. When you go into the library they will have your items set aside. You can check them out yourself or one of the very helpful staff will do it for you. Big selection of DVDs and CDs including recent releases. Lots of interesting programming options such as computer classes and meditation. Art exhibits, too. Be sure to take a moment to look at the exquisite stained glass windows. Closed Mondays.

Very compact design but efficient. Staff very friendly and helpful. Entrance is accessible. Just…read morewish the branches got a bit more when it comes to community resources. Not everyone can hop to Central. They do well with what they got.

Local library branch for the Pond Mills area. Very quiet but has a great selection for its size…read more There isn't much programming for this branch listed in the library magazine but the Glen Cairn Community Resource Centre hosts events here but they are listed elsewhere. They should list it in the magazine though anyway so more people know. Having been to other branches, I do feel envy at how big they are. Sure you could have books delivered to the branch, but it's nice to be able to just go in and pick a book off the shelf.

A very small public library that has couches and tables for residents to sit and work at. There's a…read morecute children's play area and a puzzle laid out for people to work on. You need a library card to access the wifi but there's also another wifi network that works without one called "MeetingSpace" Unfortunately it closes early at 6pm but there's a nice sun roof that allows natural light in.

For a small local library branch, Cherryhill has a pretty good selection (better, it pains me to…read moresay, than a comparably-sized branch of the Toronto Public Library) of most books and AV materials. The staff is helpful and friendly, although the hours could be a little better (they're closed Sunday AND Monday, and forgetting that fact put me out once or twice). While the branch has its fair share of junky media, I was very surprised, and pleased, to discover top-notch stuff like a remastered DVD release of Ken Burns' Civil War, or the unabridged audiobook version of the new Fagles translation of the Aeneid. I heartily recommend both, by the way.

I will always retain fond memories of this place. It goes without saying that this is the best…read morelibrary at Western. 5 floors of book-y goodness. During exam season (December + April) this place is rammed so if you're anything other then a desperate student you're better off anywhere else.

The staff at Western Libraries is on the whole, quite good, and they pride themselves on service…read more Every once in a while, I've met some dolts working at Weldon, Western's main library. One librarian claimed that their first edition of Paradise Lost was over 500 years old (funny, since it was written in the 1660s); another treated me like a total moron when I tried to report a missing book, then screwed up the search request. The collection is pretty good at Weldon (4th biggest university library in Canada, as they keep telling everyone), but the building sucks. It has the slowest elevators of any library I've spent time in, and you can never tell if they're going up or down. The design of the stacks floors is bad, a kind of offset cross floorplan, which makes it hard and inefficient to find things.

Love this little library. The librarians are real helpful. Not much on there but you can always…read morehave books delivered there from other locations. Don't expect to get a computer too often as they are always booked. They get to know you by name here if you come often.
