Best Public Library in British Columbia reviews

A good library. Toilets are very dirty though. Not much area to eat food or consume drinks.

Beautiful building, one of the best modern structures I’ve seen around Metro Vancouver. Great seating areas across floors. Helpful staff. A great public space to get resources or sit down on your laptop to get some work done…

The library is very quiet and convenient.
Staff's service is very friendly.

I don't know who picked the chairs in the study rooms. They are extremely uncomfortable with weird curve.

Perfect place for those who love books and studying.
The only problem is that it is a little noisy, specially at ground floor!
I also expected more speedy internet connection in there!

Awesome library and even better librarians! They are very helpful. Shout out to Christine who helped me get my documents printed! She’s lovely, she’s super friendly. Thanks

Very modern little building and good equipment. Too noisy. Way too noisy. No quiet study area. The windows bring in the sun directly into the eyes and there is no curtain.

Excellent content.
I picked up books and DVDs to improve my English.
The service was kind and attentive.
It has a great environment to study on site too.
And an attractive corner for children.

Much better than strawberry hill library! Myself and my children enjoy coming here. The atmosphere is lovely, lots for the children to do but not so noisy. The librarians are very helpful. We visited strawberry hill, it was complete chaos, no space...

Loved the library - small but functional.it’s also less busy than the one in vancouver, which is a lot less stress inducing honestly.

October: renovations ongoing…always updating the decor to benefit the users…a sensibly managed community

December 31/2023: Books? ! …More in ‘24

Extremely loud and very hard to study
kids screaming everywhere and there is0 noise control

Libraries are some of our last organizations of education and truth. They must be protected and supported.

Great place to study and relax by reading books. However, one issue I've had is that the internet is slow and would really appreciate if the speeds were better, esp during busy hours.

Staff is super helpful and the book recommendations are pretty good. BPL has tons of books that you can request on their site and it's always been a good experience.

Some of the staff members are extremely rude to a point where it feels like racism. I will be definitely escalating this to the respective authorities.

Love this branch as staff members are very kind, intellectual, helpful and respectful. My little kiddos also love to go there. I am very glad that such a great library exists in the hood. The only thing to complain is about the tight parking spots...

10/10 library with beautiful aesthetics, plentiful light and wide ranging services.

The library itself is very nice and clean.however many parents think they can abandon parenting and let their kid run around and swipe the books off the shelf and have full on conversation with other above the heads of other people reading the...

Wonderful rec center. Nice old school charm. Good facilities and excellent staff. Great value squash courts.
