  This is a gorgeous gem of a building, set in a beautiful park, and worth a visit. It was funded by the Carnegies and was a real centre for culture when it was built. Today, the City and the Library system have been working hard to fund the upkeep, maintenance and to keep it as an active community library and space. But as with any downtown public place, you will encounter some homeless people here, a good, positive place to while away some hours during the day. However, there is security, and everybody knows the rules, and anybody visiting to see this gem will be able to appreciate what the building has to offer.

  Small selection of books, but if you reserve online they will send them to this location for pick up. Very convenient!

  I love this library. I work close by and when I go to pick up my hold items, I like to take a walk around the library. Always friendly, quite and clean!

  Always welcomed with smile and provided with great service! Some of the most helpful people around the city :) Small library but if you do your research beforehand, you will be set! Drop box is located around the side of the entrance stairway. Surrounded by a greatly landscaped park, you will find a lot of seating areas and grassy spots to have a picnic or get some sun.

  We come here weekly with our two year old to drop off and pick up new books. The staff are helpful and friendly, and there's a small play area for kids. It seems like there are more kids coming here all the time. The building itself and surrounding park are beautiful, which adds to fun experience.
