A lovely place to be in the neighborhood where we live. Used printing- service, books, movies, and the children play-section for my 10-m-o son.

If I want to have some thoughts for a better change at the library, it would be like this:
I was told that the library will not bring more toys and baby stuff "because of theft". Well, you can prevent it with other means. Our little one love this place, and we take him there sometimes, and playing with a couple of toys available, he soon gets bored and starts pulling books off of shelves. It would be awesome if there are more toys and play-stuff for kids.
Second, we just came to this lovely country some months ago, you know, fleeing violence and threats. At first when I went through shelves of movies, I could see nothing in the back-picture of movies but gunshots, violence, blood and killing; I mean a lot of Action Movie, and less family and drama... related ones... It's a sad thing that a lot kids and people here love action games and movies. But the public library can make efforts to create a culture of family-orientation (if I'm accurate in my language), love and watching and playing stuff without violence.

Thanks

Loads of services. Lots of staff and a easy layout. Open good hours most of the week and lots of new materials regularly.

Lack of programs.
Outdated unusable website. 
Little community connection or innovation happening here. 

I think the decision makers for the library and the city need to change, and funds and resources should be reallocated so that the New West library can actually offer me what I need and am interested in. 

How about some user research and strategic thinking?

Great library except for the fact that they like to turn the light on and off repeatedly for the last 10 minutes before they close. I would be nice if they could just verbally communicate that instead of forcing people to leave 10 minutes before close in the middle of writing an email, writing their documents, etc.

Recently moved to New Westminster, and decided to get a library card here. Its awesome since I can browse and request books online. Plus they offer access to various online education sites like lynda and rocket languages. Very happy with it so far.
