Centre d'exposition Lethbridge de la Bibliothèque du Boisé

Love the contemporary design and the all glass windows and high ceilings! Always clean and well organized! Kids love the reading bike, it nails them to read : They always put their heart into making the decorations for the Holidays and occasions. Love our library!

Good library if you haven’t seen a better one. Pros: - Very good collection of books and documents - Helpful staff - Nice building and facility Cons: - Aisles are too narrow that you can’t even see books on lower shelves. You have to bend close to floor or sit on the floor to see lower shelf. Also be careful to not bump other person trying to pass behind you. - Unless you are familiar which category is located which side, there is no categories labeling to find titles of your interest. There are some general labels like Documents, References but if you specifically looking for Art, Language, Plant or any other categories you have to ask someone or search in computer. - There is always people & kids talking loud in every corner you try to relax & read. Specially on the magazine section as it is close to kids area, it happens alot that kids are talking loud while parents are trying to read. Last time there was a kid video chat with another friend talking loud and mon was totally cool about that without reminding the kid, library is a quiet place. It becomes even more annoying when people of different culture & language meet each other and start to chat loud. Unfortunately my kid lost the interest of going to library and finds this place dark cramped and noisy. This library has lot of potential and could take Library of Pierrefonds as an example for labeling categories and also managing the area better. I hope they improve, I love going to library but the experience is not always pleasant.

Gorgeous location, excellent staff who go out of their way to assist clients, great wifi and fantastic collections. A little lively on weekends, but the staff does their best with the children. All in all, a great escape from the mundane. Best described as an intellectual amusement park. Just love it.

Beautiful brand new library all glass windows allowing the sun to shine inside. Great calm study/work environment.

Very quiet and clean, there is a great view that helps focus

I used to love studying here, surrounded by nature, full glass windows and very bright. Tables are large and have many charger plugs.This place is not the best to concentrate and study. Sometimes during weekends they have local activities or some kind of music festival going on the lower level. You can hear the kids running around, crying and screaming.

Unlike other old libraries. It has all sections you need for everyone in the family. Well organised. Staff are super helpful and nice. Panoramic view to the forest and full natural light make the atmosphere more attractive than being in a 4 concrete walls-room with small window. Spending your day reading is fun here. On the other hand, they have 1 security guard who do understand that kids have their section and sometimes parents can not control noise kids make. The library is an open space so any noise downstairs are can be heard on the second floor. That security guard speak to people as if he is in higher grade than parents. If they really want to limit noise from kids downstairs they should isolate the two floors from each other using transparent glass to keep the same friendly architecture. Once happened with me when I came with my almost 2 years old kid and he was exciting seeing other kids and spacious area. He made some noise after stepping from the front door. The guard on duty jumped asking brutally to keep the child silent. He was not comprehensible and left with arrogance or attitude expression on his face. The library has section for kids and you should understand that you need to accept some noise while parents explain to their kids with certain age that can be controlled not 2 years old that they should remain with low noise as possible. The library deserve more than 3 stars but this story made me give 3 with hesitation.

Quiet and full of good books. Employees are helpful and nice..

Very modern, beautiful, clean and comfortable. Lots of light. Good selection of books not so much for DVDs. Plenty of activities for the kids. Has a parking lot with enough space most of the time. Staff is in general courteous, but every now and then there's an exception. A bit noisy, though. They made the mistake of not isolating the floors and the noise form the children's section is there on the upper floor, where the study rooms are.

Hands down the most gorgeous library I have ever had the pleasure of having a library card for. The sleek and modern architecture allows a sophisticated and professional feel to envelop you as you browse the aisles while the wall-to-ceiling windows let in the view of the forest's greens of summer and reds of autumn to act as an invigorating and colourful backdrop. Be warned that there are some noisy teenagers during exam periods, so headphones are wise to bring.
