  A good amount of varieties of books for all ages there. But the main issue is that there's a lot of loud, screaming children that hog the computers and play games while screaming and yelling. But the other issue I have with this place is that the staff do nothing to help this problem

  It is now 2-3 weeks later (I'm updating my review) and things have "slightly improved" (as library staff IS taking measures to correct the juveniles who are creating the problems), but, for now, I will NOT be coming back to the Bridlewood Mall library UNTIL it IS under control. The problem with this library is that there are WAY too many children and (so-called) "young adults" running around without any adult supervision. It's almost as if their parents dropped them off there for the day. And THEN when a person (politely) asks these young people to be more quiet they get all defensive and start cussing you out - and talking louder. Then there's the matter of the people who come to the library to eat and talk when they very well could be doing the same thing in the actual mall (only steps away). Library staff sure has their hands full - and I thoroughly commiserate with what they have to put up on a daily basis. What could be done to improve the situation? Perhaps some sort of a (posted) "Library Code of Conduct" (posted outside the library entrance for all patrons to see. This kind of belligerence isn't tolerated in our public/private schools (government-funded too), so why at the library?

  The staff are great and quite attentive. My main issue is with the library itself, not enough study space and plug outlets. Poorly designed use of space.

  Very small library. There are some events for kids and new immigrants every month.

  When I go to this library, I am amazed by how much libraries have changed over the years. I like the bustle and busyness and seeing and listening to people from all over the world. I admire the fact that people of all ages are there. I seldom find books on the shelves, but I do borrow DVDs and I order many books from other branches. The Toronto Public Library system is amazing and the Bridlewood branch is one of the very good things about living in this neighbourhood. Thank you all!
