Edmonton Public Library - Clareview

I like this library because there is lots of seating and there's a place where you can fill a refillable water bottle free with filtered water and the staff is friendly and helpful my only concern is that the disabled washroom is currently out of order

It’s got books no way magazines, music, movies and much more. The ambiance is great and the staff is friendly and helpful. It’s got a lot of fun things for children. The whole space is just right. This is branch is clean well lit. It has access to all the resources of Edmonton Public Library. This location is attached to the Clareview Recreation Centre so a one stop shop for the mind and body is great. There is a seating area with a fireplace. There is an area for children with small tables and chairs. Also there are lots of computers with free internet access as long as you have a EPL membership.

Love this location. Having it right with other amenities like the playground is nice and the staff is friendly. They have been doing scavenger hunts for the kids which was really fun for my 4 year old.

Definitely not the most quiet place if you need to focus or study. It isn't that the library isn't diligent in reminding people to be quiet, but this is a hot spot for kids! They really have a way with kids and cultivate their love for the library. My childhood memories of visiting the library is what keeps me coming back myself. I don't have children myself, but I love that the library encourages kids wanting to spend their evenings and weekends exploring books, playing games, and other wholesome activities rather than hanging out on the streets causing trouble. For this reason: 10/10

Love studying here and taking my daughter. Only wish it was open later to 10/11/12. Lots of students still here close to closing who'd appreciate it.

As far as libraries go, it's alright. It has books and amenities which is great. However, it is NOT a great place to study esp on a Sat afternoon. My biggest complaint is the seating. They have 2 study rooms but not very much seating in them and currently only 1 person allowed per room. They also have these terrible bar stool counters which are impossible to do anything at because they are both too high and too far away from the chairs. In summary, this library is only good for studying if it's not too busy, otherwise, go somewhere else.

For my first time in the downtown library my thoughts are that it's a very unique diverse place. Though there are a lot of homeless people that hang out there, that is the reason I didn't give a 5-star rating.

Nice big spacious library State of the art facility Very impressive

I love this library! It has a great book selection and a good study room and workspace. It’s easy to keep kids busy because there are lots of books that appeal to their tastes and other hands-on activities/programs that they can engage in. The environment is spaced out and large, with very good resources. It is usually quiet, which makes the library ideal for studying, reading, and focusing on your thoughts. Lots enjoy this library because there is something unique for all people of all ages! I love this branch!

I love this place from the inside. It’s such a huge place to spend a lot of time in a healthy way. It’s amazing with their pools and places to play. Also have a playground for children was a great idea. You can spend hours and hours in this place. They’re library has a lot of spots where you can sit and friendly and helpful staff. The only concern was the security. One day I was leaving from the library side, I unfortunately saw people stealing 2 bikes in front of a few people. That was incredible to see, I couldn’t believe it and I was feeling so bad for the owners of those bikes.... there should be more security outside and inside the place.
