Super friendly staff. Wish there was more option in English, but the library is very nice.
During the weekends the table are mostly taken. However during the week you might find few empty tables. If you're looking for a quiet area, I suggest you go on the top floor. The main floor is quite noisy since the left side of that floor is where people are allowed to talk. On the right side it's a bit more quite. The library is quite clean and has books for everyone and anyone. I've been going there for over 5 years and my only complain is that the staff does not make any effort to whisper while talking to each other. They will litteraly talk to each other in a normal tone which can be disturbing when you're studying.
I like the technology that they installed at this library where everything is automated. Even though it often lacks the human touch the reason I say this is because I have been coming to this library for 30 years and sometimes I had to wait a really long time in a very long line up just to take out one book. Now I come in I get my books, and since they have automated I have never waited in line. Good job Laval! There are two things that I would suggest to the Laval libraries: The first thing I would suggest is to whoever orders the books is that they need to be more careful with their books purchase planning. This is not as important with stand-alone books, but when you read a book series it is very important to get the order of the books correct. So the library needs to order every single book as it is written. I find that at the libraries in Laval they often skip over some books. This doesn't make any sense because then you have to buy the book to be able to read them in order. There are several series where I have been able to read a few books from the library, then I have to purchase books off of Amazon or wherever, and then I can go back to getting them from the library. The second thing I would suggest is that the library needs to order a larger variety of books in English. I have noticed that recently they are doing a much better job of this. However, when I go on to the library website to research what books they have I can see that often they have the specific book that I want to read in French, but they do not yet have it in English. They call this the Multicultural library for a reason.
It has all you need like all other libraries in the cities except no canyon for people who spend their day there. Apart from that it has silent area and low noisy area. Computer lab, kids section and private working rooms.
Great place to study but you can’t eat anywhere in this library
it's okay but for a multicultural library i would have expected more English books.
Very poor customer service. The lady at the front desk kept talking to her coworker, prolonging the time needed to assist the family that needed to renew their library card. Had to wait 20 mins to do mine.
