Greater Victoria Public Library - Saanich Centennial Branch

Good library- clean, quiet, easy to navigate. Unfortunately the supervisors are rude and condescending to most- you will notice this if you observe when you are there. One ESL employee is very polite and kind and always helpful. Wish others were like that to make the experience more pleasant. If you keep to yourself it’s fine. But if you need assistance I would suggest another library.

I don't mean to sound bitter, but what happened to libraries? When I was a kid, a library was a place to read quietly, learning about the world in an atmosphere of quiet interest. Now, it seems, it's a place (that's rarely open) where you go to check your facebook, gossip loudly with your friends, and permit your young children to run around yelling. The Saanich Centennial Branch is no exception. It's a physically appealing library, with a decent number of workstations. But it's overrun by people who seem to view it as a place to loudly talk on cellphones. It's a shame.
