I love this library! There is an awesome selection of new and old kids, teens and adults movies, books, video games and more to dive into. Probably the nicest library I've been to in south west Ontario, would definitely recommend for anyone.

Can we PLEASE remove the plexi-glass…. I can’t hear the amazing librarians when they tell me about the books I’m trying to find. This is so annoying. Everyone just talks around the corners anyway.

*The variety of books for kids are okay. *A lot of really old books that they should get rid of. They should also buy more newer books that are relatable for kids nowadays.
*Most staff are friendly and helpful.
>>>The thing that REALLY bothers me about their system is that they tell you kids books are never overdue because they keep getting automatically renewed again and again. Well then they immediately start putting an outstanding balance on your library card if you don't return the books right away. They also send you threatening letters in the mail saying they will put you in bad credit if you don't return books or pay outstanding $ immediately.
This all in the matter of 2-3 months of books being take out. I get they have a system to follow but why the threatening e-mails and letters? Why not just say you can't take out more book until books are returned or outstanding balance is paid?
These threatening letters in the mail cause people anxiety and need to STOP!
I used to love taking my kids to the library when we lived out of town. Now it just seems too stressful in Chatham because as soon as a kids book is late or overdue I start getting anxiety to bring it back before I start getting harassed.
Do better Chatham Library!

Great resource for the area. I stopped here on my way through town as I needed to print some work documents. Very friendly and helpful staff. In my half hour there, I saw staff help individuals navigate computers to find government resources, assist with identifying documents needed to replace birth certificates, and help with scanning and printing. Libraries continue to be the hearts of communities.
