Great place to read or learn about cultural activities in Westmount. You have to reside in Westmount in order to borrow books. The library is large and space and plenty of current magazines around. A tiny section reserved for computer usage for members alone. The WI fi is not too strong and depends ...

Great place to read, work and study. Clean and big desks everywhere. I love the room with the green lamps. However I found the internet / WiFi to be intermittent. Not sure if it's just me but no matter where I sat, in the first hall or at the back, I couldn't get a solid consistent connection for ve...

This is the best library I have been to. The staff are friendly, the building is beautiful and quiet. You don't feel harrassed, stalked, degraded and dragged down in any way. You can see how being raised in such a positive environment could lead to becoming s successful person like Kamala Harris and...

The staff is lovely and they have a good selection of modern poetry authors.
It's a pleasure to visit it, sit around in the quiet and read. They have computers and if you are a student you can use them for as long as you need.
Washrooms are clean and the library has a special floor for kids !

I love this library. It has a great selection of books, movies and shows. Also, lots of audiobooks. And it has great places to sit and read. Unfortunately, I can't do that at the moment because of the pandemic, so I eagerly await the time when it will be able to fully reopen.

"Studying in premises that breathe history and knowledge". Names of great Poets, Historians, Scientists, Scholars, etc. are engraved in stained glass at the top of each window in the library. Very nice atmosphere, kind staff and great selection of books. The light in the evening is amazing, and the ...

I think that this is a good place for casual reading, catching up on periodicals and has a pretty decent reference section. Great cookbook section, hobbies, history, oversize books, non-fiction. The chairs are comfortable, spacious and there is good lighting much of it natural. Not the most quiet pl...

I seriously love this library, the Victorian building, the service and personnel make of this little borough library a true jewel, the well designed spaces invite to reflection, reading and silent study, the selection is beautiful and lovingly cured.

I only have praise for my riding's libraries a...

Great library, very historical feeling when you re there. Doesn t have great air conditioning in the rooms where you can do work but it doesn t seem to get very busy so that s not a huge deal. Go check this place out if you re into libraries!

Awe-inspiring library , with its monumental architectural style , while at the same time creating newer and modern spaces on the inside !
Built in June 1899, I think it s hard to walk into the west mount public library and not have a sense of deep respect for all that they hold and stand for ,

I love the library. It is stunning from the outside and on the inside. For its size, it has a huge variety of books. Great chairs and tables to study. Very clean.
The only problem would be that on the lower levels and on the main level the staff talk very loud so it is hard to study especially if y...
