Just recently started taking my kids to Oak ridges library. First of all amazing staff, extremely helpful and polite. The collection for kids are awesome. We're very happy, Highly recommend.

This is the first time I’ve been to the new Oak Ridges Library! The only other time I’d been was when it was in the other plaza and it was quite small. The library is gorgeous and brand new. Lots of place to sit and bright light. The only thing I wish they would offer is bookable study individual rooms, as they are first come first serve and tend to have groups of people in them all day!

This is a relatively new library with modern and bright architectural design. The library has two floors; the first floor has an information desk, kids area, and several seating areas for studying and reading. The second floor has mainly non-fictional books.

Really nice library however don’t come if you are looking to study in a quiet space.i booked a study room yesterday thinking i’d be able to complete a final university exam without any big distractions. The opposite happened.the girls in the room in front of me were so loud (louder than it should be in a typical library) and the brown librarian with wavy hair and glasses did nothing.

I'm so happy that this library is finished! I went there for the first time and it is beautiful - there's lots of natural light with big windows. There are lots of quiet places for people to do work and read. There are booths on the top floor that make cool quiet group work areas for people who come with friends.:)

3D printing experience at oak ridge library was amazing. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you Adam

I have been using public libraries, and many of them, for decades. The Oak Ridges branch is by far the worst one I have visited or attempted to use. Architecture is given complete prominence, to the detriment of what a library is supposed to provide, namely, information and helpful staff. It took them at least two years to put up labels at the ends of bookshelves. This meant a user was left on their own to try to find anything.

The vast stairway that links the two floors is a complete waste of space. It is also unsafe. The architect who was chosen clearly had nothing but personal integrity in mind when imagining this space. The normal function of a library was given precious little thought. It's so sad.

Oak Ridges Public Library is a must visit place for book readers.
A well organized peaceful place, where you can find a vast collection of books in various languages to welcome different tastes of people.

A very clean and airy library. Very bright and modern feel the moment you walk in. Everything appears organized. The electronic large touch screen allows for easy book searching. Tablets are available to borrow and use. There's a maker room and a 3D printer that can be used. Study rooms for those who need it. Though everything is limited as this library isn't super big. On the weekends, you'll sure to find this library packed with people studying, reading or doing homework.
All the chairs and space was accounted for or quickly taken.

Two floors:
FIRST FLOOR
-WELCOME DESK
-WASHROOMS
-CHILDREN'S/TWEEN'S AREA
-ELEVATOR
-MEETING ROOMS

SECOND FLOOR

What a beautiful library. A big shout out to the amazing staff at the library. They are the best. If you need a book, or have a question, they listen to you very patiently and help you with whatever you need. The kids events at the library are very well planned and execution is flawless. I have been to the library on several occasions and every time the experience has been the same. This place is a blessing to the Oak ridges community.

A well organized and clean library with beautiful architecture. There is always lots of space for parking which is very nice.
