Jane and Dundas Reviews

Its a great library, though it does become quite noisy after 3 and stays like that until about 4 (but that is to be expected). Otherwise the staff are amazing, and the book selection is great.

Cute library
Very small
Two levels
Loads of books

Very noisy with rambunctious tweens running up and down the stairs or forming packs in the reading chairs or coming in at lunch to eat KFC/pther fast food. There is a quiet study room downstairs but every time I've been in there it was humid with the stench of BO. Collections are OK for novels and librarians are nice.

Don't go there if you are looking for a relatively quite place to work. People here have forgotten what a library is supposed to be.

It's been a long time since I have gone to the library. The staff was extremely helpful.

Beautiful library - a separate kids section downstairs. Great programs for kids of all ages just like all the other Toronto library branches. Took my six month old son for Baby Time today... him and I both loved it. Staff were courteous and enthusiastic.

Being a sober little place with loads of knowledge n stuff around it's really bful. Some ppl at times do get noisy. But I've seen librarians asking kids n others to leave if they do so consistently. Internet is way faster here compared to main Toronto library. I guess bcoz of less crowd.

Nice library. I go here because it's closer than my uni library.

The common areas are noisy during the week (lots of high school students from the nearby school). The silent study room is the best around, though.

There's also a Timmy's close by on Dundas, which doesn't hurt.

nice library they cut down on the noise if you ask security or a librarian usually you don't have to.

I used to visit this library when I was a kid, and now I go back to it and I like the renovations, its modern. It can get a little noisy because of the students from the nearby schools, but its still a great place to study. Its not a big library, so the selection isn't as varied. The staff are friendly and have been working there for a while, so they are a part of the community.

Spacious, modern interior with a decent amount of study space (assuming people aren't hogging the tables). Outlets are on the floor, keep charger length in mind. Occasional WiFi interruptions.

Quaint, decent amount of parking despite the location, right on the side of the road, clean easy to use facilities, friendly staff and wonderful selection of novels, books to buy and picture books downstairs. It was lovely to visit! Thank you for all the hard work!

Very loud annoying teens during afternoon and evening times Mon-Fri. They just come to talk, eat, and scream like baboons with no respect for people actually coming to read. They really need to learn proper library etiquette.

Nice library with lots of glass over looking Jane and Dundas St.

I would say there is good place with comfortable environment and nice decoration, which is suitable for self-learning. The only problem is that there are some little kids making noises sometimes.

Computers are at half hour intervals so check to see! Staff are very nice!

They don't asnwer thier phone, just hang up on you like they don't care :/

Great library to go to study as they have a quiet study room. This location can get quite busy during the school year. There is also plenty of parking in the back.

real nice place.
renovation blew a ton o taxpayers money -1star.
Should have been 10 storey builing for that kind of money
someone pocketed some nice coin.
crooks!

Overall a nice place. I tried to study there for one of my exams. The downside is the low amount of seating spaces and the uncontrolled noise from the school kids all around.

I love the architecture of the Jane Dundas Public Library. Very funky and functional. The ramps for accessiblity are turned into art. I love this branch and the funky furniture. A Richard Trus review.

It's a good library I'd have given it 5 stars if it wasn't noisy

A welcoming space to study and read books!
During busy times with students (as it should be expected considering its near a school) the quiet rooms become very useful as well as the main floor being seperate fromy the children's/teen section.
The students are respectful and often comply when asked to settle down.

Some staff here are incompetent. There is always some issue related to them messing something up on our account. (Wrong email, incorrect charges, saying they will do and not doing.) Great location and branch though.

Great selection of books. The staff have always been helpful and the library has gone through some nice renovations over the years

This location is sort of small but well-kept and modern. This location is my go-to for holds and rentals. However, it can be pretty noisy with students.
