    This is the only library I've been to outside the downtown core and it was actually delivers on all fronts a library should deliver on. It certainly helps that it's part of a library system that has a capacious collection so that you have the option to peruse through multiple branches. Of course this is true of any regional library but it is a serious plus that they offer us.
    For some of the hot titles right now such as the Steve Jobs bio, A Dance With Dragons and The Hunger Games series which I'm listening to at the moment almost every copy was out except for 1 or 2 copies of the latter 2 series in other branches. staff are helpful behind the various info desks, they have a good sized quiet study space, lots of study tables (especially on the second floor) and ample computer terminals and everything has always been in working order each time I've been there.

    Their hours are not the greatest, especially on weekends so that's a bit of a downer but overall they seem to be a great community center, across the parking lot for the ever expanding Bramalea City Centre.

    This branch is only an average 3 star location because despite it's great location it doesn't have anything that makes itself stand out as a location that I can see myself spending a day studying/reading at. Maybe a bit more accessible features for laptops (aka power outlets) can help?

    I'm always a fan of the library systems and I still see it as a "too good to be true" kind of deal especially with them carrying DVDs, Audiobook CDs and e-books. However while this is a reflection of the overall Brampton Library system rather than this specific branch I think they still do have room to play around with the potential the new mobile digital world has to offer to libraries.
