Ajax Public Library

They have done some recent renovations to the library… but I still don’t find it great. As a recent Ajax person, my previous local library was the one by Fairview mall (I believe this is also under renovations — not sure if it has been completed). I am a magazine — o — holic. I love love to read a glossy… but it can get expensive… even with the Walmart special of 3 magazines for $ 10. But the magazine selection here SUCKS! They don’t have a lot of selection in comparison to my old library… they have relocated the magazine area right up at the front so if there is a line up to check out you are bumping into people. Not impressed. Also, they don’t let you take out the current month of a magazine! Fairview would let you (not sure if this is the case anymore)

Ajax Public Library Main Branch is located right next to 401 and the Town Hall. so location wise it is really convenient.
There are countless computer terminals for access to the Internet, both at the upper and main level of the library. In order to access the terminal, you do need a valid Ajax Library card. If you are out of towner like me, then bringing your laptop is essential for Wifi connection. The connection here is free and quick, compare to Pickering Main Branch library I been to.
The 2^nd level of the library has a special study area at the back has big floor to ceiling windows overlooking an open space. There are a few armchairs if you just want to laid around and take it easy.
The atmosphere here is more formal. Quiet and you expect to be whispering to each other… shhh… time for me to take a nap in one of the armchairs!
