I've never seen such a large, well-stocked library in my life. There are two floors, multiple study rooms, 3D printers (!), musical instruments for rent (!!), a virtual reality station, and numerous computers (both desktop & Chromebooks for use at the library). With the wide selection of resources I'd definitely recommend getting a library card here, especially because you can use the card at other Kitchener library locations.
A standard for what modern a library should provide. Limited selection but if you go online and order a day ahead they can bring from all the libraries in the KW. A bit noisy to work in the main entrance but lots of smaller desks in the back area.
I can't say enough good things about this library. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, great location, huge place, very clean, has great rental items.One thing I really like is that you can rent portable WiFi, the instruments they lend out are actually fairly nice with the odd really nice one. They have classes, and stuff for kids like virtual reality.
Kind staff, accessible entry, seating, and washrooms (including gender neutral). I bring my service animal here and never have issues. Great selection of books, audiobooks, community resources, music, online databases, instrument rentals, and community events. There is a theatre and art gallery in the basement. There are study rooms that can be booked, and rooms in the basement that can be rented for events. The architecture is beautiful and the space is centered around art. I love coming here, and am so pleased to live nearby.
Boy do I love libraries, and the central branch of the KPL is a great one! It's recently had a large renovation and the result is a bright building housing so much more than books. There's a theatre in the basement where they screen free movies regularly, a maker-space/digital studio, a great coffee bar, and an amazing children's section just to name some of the resources. They have excellent planning for people of all ages, and also free concerts in the beautiful main lobby space. It is such a warm, comfortable, and welcoming space, plus, BOOKS!!! The librarians are pretty wonderful too.
