Best Public library in Canada

I	I. J. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Staff at Reception is selective in saying, "Hello," to or welcoming patrons entering the Edmonton Public Library (EPL) in Riverbend on the southside of the city based on my experience. I noticed the Staff at Reception readily said, "Hello" to library goers who were Caucasian, but did not greet me, a visible minority, as I entered the library after 1 pm today. This was not the first time this happened to me. And I thought EPL was inclusive.
D	Devangna on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have never met a staff so rude! The city should really look into getting a new staff or at least teaching the staff at the riverbend library to be nice. I've been too several libraries but, I must say riverbend library has been the worst experience I've ever had due to the rude staff. If you plan on going to this library to study, I would highly recommend going somewhere else where you won't be interrupted by the staff constantly.
E	Elaine Liang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love this library!! The books are neatly sorted, and the staff are really nice. There's also a nice section in the back with comfy sofas. My only problem is that there aren't a wide selection of fiction books that I enjoy, but tons of amazing non-fiction books.
A	Abeeku Kilson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not my favorite library to Go to in the City, but definitely not the worst one. I've had no problems from staff . Forgot my headphones the one day, and they kept it for me to pick up the days after. I wish some people there were more mindful of those studying, reading or doing their own thing in the quieter section, but it's a nice location. Only downside is the parking. It's so limited around there so count on luck to get a parking spot. The earlier in he day you can go, or early evenings, the better. Nice library overall though.

G	G Parra on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love this library! Small but full of kind staff. And the in-person programs are coming back.
M	Mark Hope on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great library and the people there are always helpful. The library was good during covid, and you can reserve books online and pick them up. You also get access to audio books, music, video games, e-books, etc. I don't know why anyone would ever buy a book.
C	Christopher Lui on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very busy location. They have a great kids area with both separate computers and a play area for the kids. There is also numerous computer workstations for everyone else. There is also a great community room for holding neighborhood events and classes. The common areas can get quite loud since it is all open concept. The parking lot is busy too. Watch out for cars criss crossing the lot.
