i see to many mentle patients just hanging around, not part of the normal daily routine, kick them out, this is why i never go to a library anywhere in the city because of these mentle patients

Well pack a library of an old age design with who else but McDonald's right next door...great library, but the surrounding businesses are not so impressive...but then again, the library itself is if you like this type of architecture.

So nice to find a place to rest on a Fall afternoon. I find the Square is a little haven of green and peace in the midst of a rushing jungle of traffic, bikes and general noise!

Library Square is always impressive and definitely a good walk through if you are visiting Vancouver - fun architecture and centrally located.

I found it hard to track down what I was looking for. Some of the characters sitting around in the library were not the most "normal" people you would expect in a library. Seemed too crowded. Rather a impractical building.

It is a good looking building with indoor cafe area but a outdoor feeling. the library itself is morden and easy access to evey departments

This beats going to the mall, where you can be sitting in the huge atrium, having a coffee or something to eat, people watching or catching up with friends, or you might want to start reading one of the books you took out of the library.
