Best Library in Canada

I	Iris Iri on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice library, there are plug in outlets for every seat, but not enough seats. Since it is located next to a school, lunch times and after class between 3pm and 5pm are the loudest and most disruptive on the second floor where it is supposed to be quiet. There's a McDonald's nearby so people do eat in here. If you want a seat you would need to arrive at the door when it opens at 10am.
T	Talar Mary Najarian on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful Library, good amount of natural light. The books are ok too, selection lacks a little but can find some gems for sure. The only thing stopping the 5 star review here is that there's limited seats available in the library especially during prime study hours where people get off work/school (which is unfortunate as the facility itself is really nice, but if there's no desks available for folks to work on, might as well study somewhere else)
A	Ania Klaudia Kats on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Extremely disappointed with this new and long awaited library. The toddler/children’s space is mixed with the computers so the adults using them end up complaining about the kids. There’s a ramp without a barrier which the kiddies end up climbing and jumping off and can easily hurt themselves on. The children’s program room is so tiny that they have a hard time focusing on what’s going on. Already soon after the grand opening there are few people visiting the library because it generally is unfortunately a poorly designed space.
Z	Zahid Lotia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The new library premises are well planned and offers some fun things to do, like 3D printing, etc. It also holds various workshops for children and adults.
L	Lorenc K on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Modern architecture, spacious and contemporary, a real jewel for Oak Ridges. Visited Wednesday evening to study a couple of hours after office. Personnel was friendly and very helpful and the atmosphere welcoming with well organized spaces for kids activities, computer area, and study area in the second floor. The studying space though compared to the overall space is limited and disproportionate. Only three studying rooms, and only three tables in the open area that sit in total only 12 people. I think this is a limitation. Also, they should invest in a scheduling app so patrons can book the studying rooms online, without the need to visit in person.
A	Adnan Ali on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Newly opened library (Nov-2019). Not as big as the one in Major mackenzie but alot better than the one it replaced. Limited quite study space and afew study rooms. Not so great book collection. Very few restrooms. Lots of natural light.
F	Family Room on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful building. Friendly staff. And anyone who gives less than 5 stars is missing the point and completely oblivious to how publicly funded buildings work. I’m grateful to have this facility in my neighborhood ?
D	David Mfam on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In my subjective judgement, this recently-built library is one of the best ones in Richmond Hill and area. The place is perfect for people who need a quiet place to read and write. Free access to the internet is a golden opportunity to search and study online. The staff are on their best behaviour and always check people if they wear a face mask or not. The books here are brand new although the selction might be a minor problem according to some people. This place is highly recommended.
