Deer Park Public Library

i don’t really know what to say about Deer Park, its look big from the outside but its not. Its a single floor library, they have professional offices above them.
Its decently sized but as people said, limited outlet and space, they do have one back corner of booths but there roughly 10 – 12 of them so they do get filled, there are tables around the library it’s just only one table outside of the booth has a decent spot to use an outlet on the ground.
As one guy mentioned they do ask you to plug your laptop if runs across the ground (tripping hazard) it’s not competely unreasonable but yeah if you don’t get one of those booth then good luck.
There is still is fair bit of room to study, read and relax. Also the staff do try prevent people from eating Mcdonalds in the library, I guess its a no eating policy. Or its mess/​smell I dont eat at mcdonalds that often to care.

The Toronto public library system is great and worth preserving. (I may be a bit biased as I have alot of Librarian friends) This library always get’s my holds on time and the staff are very courteous and friendly.

When I was there I was reminded of a funny quote by Homer Simpson: «but the library is where the homeless people live». Ok this may not be the exact quote but you get the idea. This place needs much updating! There are not enough power outlets and when I finally found one and plugged my laptop a lady quickly came by and told me that it’s a trip hazard and whether my laptop had enough power so I would unplug it.
Well, Duh! if it had power I wouldn’t have plugged it for sh*ts and giggles you know!
I was lucky a kind girl offered to switch her place with me so I can plug my laptop without endangering the homeless and make her trip over my cord.
I am not trying to sound mean. I’m only trying to make a point that nowadays a standard library requires outlets on each table. Needless to say this library doesn’t have enough tables either.
In general this library is pretty much stuck in the 20^th century.

MY LOCAL LIBRARY.
Since the advent of the World Wide Web, the local library often gets overlooked for your literature-​selecting needs. In fact, I tend to go to the Toronto Public Library website to place titles on hold and pick them up at Deer Park.
All that being said, this branch is great because it’s local (for me) and very small. I get all my travel books here as their section is quite up to date and ready to checkout.
Ah, Reading: putting the power of word in your hands for 25,000 years!

A solid local library branch – almost monolithic, actually, since it has a rather uninviting façade which doesn’t make particularly good use of the St. Clair streetscape, aside from a few windows looking out from the fiction section.
The range of materials is what you’d expect of a branch this size, though they do have a «classics» section, which is a little unusual. As for the AV selection, it’s pretty skimpy, although they have a disproportionately large selection of kids’ DVDs.
