Brampton Library - Mount Pleasant Village Branch

I believe it’s said Lest We Forget. Halloween, then Remembrance Day, then Christmas. Yet you have these Christmas lights on. You can’t see it but behind the trees is also a tree lit up. We hear it on the radio all the time to wait till Remembrance Day before the light!

Out of all the branches my family has visited, this branch felt the least welcoming. The staff didn't acknowledge us at the front or in the children area. We are so used to the library feeling like a welcoming community space, and this branch did not deliver.

The parking situation is not favorable. It's difficult to find a spot.

You get all the usual library amenities here, but if you are looking for a community space to learn and grow in, visit the other branches.

Clean, well maintained, plenty of area to sit and be productive. Staff is very helpful and friendly. The only problem is kids make a lot of noise and parents don’t say anything. So, don’t forget to bring your earphones.

I was here at 11 am on a weekday. And it was jam packed. No place to sit and study with a laptop charging point. Had to leave after 30 minutes. Library needs to expand in order to accommodate the increase in demand. And e-mail where I can officially share my grievances?

Such a lovely place i did know actually exist in Brampton.one of the most pleasant area with less stupid Brampton people and worst drivers and all noise.nature and train track around and amazing library to have such a good study experience.

It’s an amazing library - there should be extra space for those who want to study/work in silence. There’s one room which gets open but that’s only after 4: 30pm.

Quick and fast if you have to print something from your email as long as you have a library card

This is a “Quiet” Library.
I think staff doesnt understand what library decorum should be like.

Library is a second home for new commers from where we can get all information for all. Thanks a lots to mount pleasant village branch for giving a information

Extremely helpful staff. Yes, it does get noisy when kids are around, but they are kids (not to mention they assist a school in helping kids learn). Beautiful branch and it's surroundings

Organized library with helpful staff.
You can also get ur documents prints for 20 cents here.

Quiet, clean environment to study, read or work.
Has an area in front to have a quick walk and relax.

Nice place to focus on study or something constructive.
Fountain sidewalk to relax and rejuvenate!
Kids noise often heard but it’s not a distraction at all! ️

Very noisy library, librarian wouldn’t bother maintaining the discipline in the Library. You will see kids running and shouting with their parents being ignorant, not teaching their kids how to behave at a library. You will also see people talking loudly over phones and some girls gossiping over guys in a place that is supposed to be quiet. Terrible place if you are looking for a quiet place to focus and study, do not come here. Thank me later

The staff is very gentle and guided us through every steps.the kid section is awesome. There is playarea for the kids too.

Very well organized and clean library. Safety protocols maintained. Staff are always very kind and helpful.

Nice peaceful library with a small activity area for private small gathering (covid rules may have changed), government programs including voting booth.

Nice place to study. Great collection of books. Particularly love getting books for my son.

Visited the place as it was used for Election Canada Poling station. The community center is very beautiful place. Architecture, Building, play growing, water pond and other decorations are so appealing and beautiful.
It’s near beautiful Go Station which makes it approachable for community.

Using their online book reservation service. Went for pickup today and it went rather smoothly. Really glad for this opportunity!

This is not a library but a park with kids running around and screaming. Adults sitting in quiet zones are busy making sales calls. Students who want to focus on studies cannot do so without plugging into music to drown the noise around them. There is no space available in the quiet rooms. The concept of library has changed over the years. Sad!

As a student seeking a comfortable place to study, this place has not logically organized their tables with respect to working outlets. Don't expect to find a seat near an outlet easily, or bring a laptop that is fully charged if you need to do work for a fair amount of time. I'll make sure not to come here again in the future but its a shame because this is my local library. Fix this for the sake of others who don't have the luxury to visit other libraries please. Really disappointed.

Nice place to study and attend learning events. Really informative and polite staff at front desk. Thank you.

I came here at Mount pleasant village branch library and ask for library card, I didn't think that I will get card so easily and fast but they just ask my one of Photo ID and within 2 minutes my card is ready.

I used to love this place. But today’s experience has completely changed my mind.
I got in late around 8: 45 pm for some urgent print outs.
Was trying to quickly release the code and finish before 9: 00pm. I was trying my best to finish But unfortunately I could not.
I requested for 2 more minutes to a librarian named Cheryl and requested that the prints are little urgent. Ufcourse she said we are close now and you can’t print now and come back at 10: 00 am.
I requested again by saying it’s urgent. She said a no. I don’t know what happened to her. I was on a phone call. She started talking rudely and started telling me her name and came near me and turned off the computer screen.
I was shocked, like their is a way to talk. I was requesting her and she came and turned off the monitor. Before I could exit the session. She did this pathetic act for no reason.
Cheryl please learn some manners. Your behaviour was completely pathetic and rude.
Your polite request would have been ok to me.
I seriously felt that they kicked me out.
Behaviour was very bad.

Nice environment outside. Good to go in the winter for skating as well. The park area is different and unique as well.

The library overall is well organized with a greats kids section for reading. Has an overall quiet and friendly environment. The librarians are also enthusiastic and helpful. Reading and picking up a book is important and this place does get the job done!

Good place to focus but as a student however, there is not a lot of study space, and the seats are rather uncomfortable. In addition, there are not a lot of outlets in places which would be most convenient.

Ok, so I've read mixed reviews on here. And This is the best way I can put it. Sure, someone might argue that there's a quiet room. But, the wifi signal there is not that great. So it renders the quiet room unusable.

So what you're left with is the general lobby. And honestly, that area is less of a library and more of a day care. Noisy kids all over the place! So yeah.not really the kinda place for a quiet study session.

The staff is great and friendly for the most part and the library is reasonably clean. Plus there's a cheap pizza shop nearby.

Very nice library, its a good place to go as an entire family. I have two kids and i visited this place few days back. It was really awesome experience. Kids enjoyed a lot. For kids its like play and learn at the same time. There are different sections for kids and adults, in general lot of books are there. But I have taking more star as I am computer freak I didnt find much books associated with that. Overall I rate my experience as very good. Please do note Brampton Library is also linked with various online learning sites like Lynda which is a big plus in itself.

There's minimal parking here, I drove all the way down, found no parking and had to drive back. Like another reviewer mentioned, poor planning by the city.

This library is a complete disaster! It is always soooo unbelievably loud with kids running around and students coming after school finishes to hang around and lounge. Indoor voices is not a thing at this library. The one silent study room they do have is outdated and feels more like a jail cell. This is not a library its a zoo!

This library is a comfortable spot to read or work and runs lots of great programs. They have lots of comfy chairs for lounging or desks if you need to work. They even provide free Wifi and internet access with a select number of computers provided. They run lots of programs, especially for younger children or immigrants. My only complaint is that when I borrow DVDs from here they often will not play since they are scratched or damaged from previous users.

I love the free Parent-kids programs that they have every Tuesday and Saturday. And also the library in general.

Very limited parking space.
Poor city planning. City should think for future when plan.
Had to drop books but came back with out dropping. Can’t find parking.
Not going there again.

I was of the option that this was a library system with understanding staffs until I got hit with fines. DVD materials that its fine is as good as my going over to the store and buying it at the same rate or even less. I was told I was sent a reminder, which i searched for all through my inbox, spam and trash and couldn't locate against the so called date that appeared on their system. The only reminder, I personally received was their phone which by the time, its too late since they are hell bent on "their fines". Good luck to the staff person I met that faithful day. What a place, no quiet study area until after 4pm what a joke of a library. Parking space availability, you must be kidding.
