Small branch of an excellent library system. Decent DVD selection, helpful staff. Limited hours, like many of the smaller locations.

Although this is a small library, it is quiet and staff friendly. It is a good place for study.

This is not a library but more of a theater. Every few minutes a new actor makes its grand entry by slamming the doors. The staff welcomes them with such enthusiasm that its heard all around. Often u will hear kids crying, someone eating chips, staff stacking books in the loudest manner possible, or people on the phone totally ignorant of surroundings. There is also an amazing small door separating the staff counter, which once opened resonates for the next 10 seconds.
If u want to do real work dont go here.
Only good for pickup and drop offs for people living around.

My fab library. Nice, quaint, quiet and staff care about their patrons telling others who make telephone calls, drag chairs into a cohort where it doesn't beling and disturb the peace to vacate the area. Thank you to the wonderful staff here.

For the many years I've lived in the area I have not discovered the library until a few days ago. Anyways I went there to print and found out you have to pay. That was new to me since I've been printing for free at other library locations (this one was closer to me) it isn't expensive only $0.15 per sheet. The staff there were helpful all the way and guided me through everything, in the end the papers came out okay except for the ink smudges: (

Decent library with good collection of literatures and journals. Look forward to its full reopen in the near future

One of the better small libraries in Toronto. The library is quiet most of the time and can be a good place for one to study or work. However, make sure to avoid coming here between 3 PM to 5 PM on weekdays since hordes of students from the neighboring Zion Heights Middle School come here to (loudly) play video games.

I am surprised why this library has so many negative reviews. The Staff is great, decent place to sit and read.

Not a library, but definitely a fish market. Even the working staff don’t know they’re working for a library so they need to maintain silence for readers.

I just moved to the area I have been to this library several times. I cannot express in words how helpful and courteous the staff is, its nothing compared to what I have experienced before at other libraries in the city. Thank you.

Loud and filled with kids plain video games. The washrooms are dirty as heck. I would not recommend coming here.
