  Nice place to read newspapers and books. But I think it's better to keep more copies in this branch as well. Hence there is no need to wait a day when place a hold.

  It is a reasonably well stocked library; and if it isn't here then it probably can be obtained from one of the other Burnaby branches and delivered to this branch.

  Its clean because it is new but, seating seems pretty uncomfortable . I also cannot see how this will stand up over the course of time . The restrooms also seem to have been designed with a lack of foresight they are tiny and cramped and have those awful electronic faucets that make washing your hands a wrestlng match with technology. As a library its functional but, to me it is a example of terrible design and archetectural sensibilities

  Bright open library with lots of computers, study space and easy to get in / out of. Reasonable selection of books but often just place holds for books for the collection at Metrotown.

  The abundance of natural light is nice but, you do get a sense of being inside a fish bowl . I think overall theres a decent selection of material here but, again im not crazy about the way its laid out .

  Its ok . There to me tho seems to have been more emphassis on form over function . I dont understand why the cielings are so high . It would have made a lot more sense if it wasnt as tall or if there was a second floor . I guess in my mind it takes less to heat a facility thats half the cubic footage but hey what do i know.

  One should be careful (as in all public areas) against theft. There are a number of people just waiting to steal your belongings if you were to turn your back or go into the book aisles. That part is not good. Parking is great.

  I would give it 5 stars but there is always room for improvement.
