Absolutely love this library! I have not had a chance to spend a lot of time here (compared to some of what the other reviewers are saying!) but the atmosphere is so charming.

Thanks so much to the ladies of the library today for rescuing me after the intransigence of the City Sightseeing Bus company who insisted I had to print off tickets purchased online. Thank you ladies for your patience and perseverance as I struggled a bit with the PC as I am a Mac man at heart. Your city should be proud of how you helped out a visitor in 'distress'

First off , I find the outside of the library visually appealing. It should be , as one of the Dale Carnegie Foundation early approved and built designs. 
The interior is also welcoming , and the people currently in charge and basically ' Running The Place ' are primarily Chinese , as it should be in this predominantly Chinese neighborhood ' East Toronto Chinatown ' . They are all at least Bi- Lingual if not Tri- Lingual , . They maintain a clean , Quite and helpful environment.  
Being a Senior citizen I appreciate their thoughtfulness and help , both on their equipment and my own ,Samsung Tablet I just received for my 68 the,  Birthday.

The interior could use a refresher but still a relaxed quiet library

I love this library, or as I tend to call it, my library. I've been coming here for twenty years. It's a short walk from my house. The staff do change quite often but they are all without exception, friendly helpful always and very kind. There is always something going on too, which gives you a sense of belonging to a thriving community. Reading groups for small children, play groups, others on the computers etc.  The library has a great selection of current magazines there too, so you can catch up on what's going on without the huge expense involve. I notice many in there catching up on the news, with the daily papers too. Sometimes I order books online, and sometimes I do just go in and pick something up. Audio books are great, and there is a very large selection of those too. Of course the library can also order anything else you want. It just takes a few days....
PS I  should  add that the building itself is magnificent. There is an historical plaque outside which tells you it's story. E J Lennox, who designed Casa Loma and Old City Hall also designed this lovely place. So take a minute to admire its outside as a well
