This library is a great place for everyone, it's a huge library for the surrounding area, and has tons of books. The staff are great overall, and I had no issues really. This library has a lot of computers compared to other neighbouring branches, which is nice, but at times it does get busy where most computers are taken. One thing I wished this library had was space for more silent rooms, since I notice, some of the same people daily hog the silent rooms right at 0900, like seriously I have seen people running to get the silent rooms. LOL. However, a great place for kids and families, and the library staff are helpful and knowledgeable too. They don't have color printers by the way, only the the Toronto Reference Library near Downtown Toronto has it. Also, the library has a lot of programs for kids (reading, singing, games), teens (school-related, games in the Teens Room), adults. I think they also have held Finanicial sessions, Real Estate (House, Mortgage), Microsoft Office, Languages sessions in the past. It's a great place for newcomers as well. Do attend this place if you are nearby :)

Just want to share my experince in Cedarbrae public library. I visited the Cedarbrae library with my son for rock painting event on 2nd June 2023. After his rock painting done he asked the staff. If he can take his Painting and rock painted by him to him. At this the Library staff replied yes you can take this (mess )to your home .I was speechless what words she used with kids . I was so heartbroken and my kid is so innocent he come to me and said moms this is mess . I really appreciate if the staff please mind full with your words . They are so young and they patiently watch what adults are doing . Was not at all excepting this in the library. please it is my humble request to be kind and mindful with words as the kids are so innocent and they take every word really seriously . Thank you.

Great place for all age. There are various books and various sections for children. I love this place as most of the times you will get comfortable seats to work. Also, there are various room where you can get appointment and use that room for group study and any kind of phone interview. It has scanner and printing facility though you need to have library card to access these equipment. They are various computers to access for those who don't have computers. It's really good. The most things I like about this library is it's working hours. It's perfectly good.

Very good, quiet atmosphere. Always a go-to to study for exams and do projects. you can book the rooms for group projects. Often there are events for small children. This is one of the biggest libraries in Scarborough, so you can most likely find any book you are looking for. If you don't, you can talk with the very friendly and approachable staff to put a hold for you, which comes in a few days at the most. Overall just a great space for reading and studying.

I used to love the old architecture of it before the renovation but still appreciate their effort to modernize and extending the arena to accommodate more public. A quiet and very lovely place to learn, think and grow. Great friendly staff and a fantastic collection of books for the kids with kid zone!

  • Usman Farhat

It's good if you want to escape the distractions of home, but it is too loud. The staff doesn't do anything to shut the kids up. The high school kids come here to hang out (which is good) but they keep talking loudly and are very inconsiderate. Not a good place if you are looking for silence.

  • Maryam R

Love this Library. Lots of space and very quiet atmosphere during the week. However, weekends are busy and very loud. Great staff and excellent place for all ages. They have lots of events and wide selection of books, music, movies etc. Walking distance to Cedarbrae mall and other stores.

This library for environment perspective it deserved 5 star, however, front desk staff attitude is very very bad, even don’t know how to communicate with customer, whenever you ask some paper something for toddler, service is very bad, hope manager notice this issue seriously.

  • Cay K

Great library! It’s a good size. Lots of material, kind staff, nice patrons, large kids section, and lots of programs available! Its designed very nicely and laid out well too. They also have lots of study areas and private rooms to book. It’s always relaxing to stop by.

  • Wazeem Ahamed

Library is great only suggestion is to update their books also would like them to have more current books on things such as AI , where there is no books .. about it . overall nothing much to say .. GOOD STANDARD ! keep it up

Great library for read and preparation. My favourite place in the town. Please fix the plug-in connection on the floor which out of service from last few weeks. Otherwise great atmosphere and very good staff.

Another gem of a library in Toronto. Had been there for the first time yesterday and was surprised by how peaceful it was and also by the amount of desks and work rooms available there. Location is good too.

  • Shibly Al Rahaman

The people in this library are unbelievably loud. No effort is made to keep the noise level down. It's more like an overcrowded recreation center. This is not a good place to get any studying done.

  • H

THIS PLACE IS A JOKE. KIDS FROM NEARBY SCHOOL HAVE MAKE IT A PICNIC SPOT TO CHILL, EAT, MAKE NOISE. EVEN THE LIBRARIAN AND SECURITY GUARDS ARE AFRAID TO STOP THEM FROM DISTURBING
