Hazel McCallion Central Library

one of the best libraries i went to, very spacious, loads of resources, and next to a shopping center, hopefully the renovation makes it better!

It is a biggest library in the Mississauga which is very close to square one mall and easily accessible through miway transit. Currently this library is going with renovation works. This library has many numbers of and vast variety of books to read and lend.

Everyone I spoke to was so friendly and the library is simply awesome. The terms of borrowing are very generous as well. It's tempting enough to return often and read or work from here.

Renowned novelist Jane Austen once said, "I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library". She would be the happiest if alive today and in Mississauga. Undoubtedly one of the best library systems in the world in the City of Mississauga, the Central Library is the crown of them all.

Spread over 5 floors (including the children section at basement level) this sprawling library is definitely a refuge for an avid reader. I had made full use of the faculties the Central Library offered when I first landed in Canada in 2005. This past weekend, after a gap of many years, I had once again the opportunity to visit the Central Library to pick up books that i had put on hold.

I was in awe with the way nothing much had changed in the intervening years. The library continues to be the hub for students to do group studies. For newcomers to Canada to look for illuminating information and up to speed with their English. For entrepreneurs and would be entrepreneurs to use the knowledge and wisdom of business centre. Whether it is for reading, borrowing, referencing the Library has a wonderful selection of books, newspapers, magazine, periodicals, movies, DVDs and more.

What is more it is maintained very efficiently by a team that is not only very friendly but very passionate about their job. The shelves are neat the aisles clean, the atmosphere serene (except in the kids section) and reaching for any book is a very easy affair.

If I had all the time in the world the one place I would spend it in would be the Central Library. I hope the City continues to fund it well to maintain the high standards. And the staff keep the same passion to ensure this is something Jane Austen would have loved to be part of.

My little hideout. Peaceful, quiet and yet full of positive energy. Staff is good and Librarians loveee to recommend. They've vending machines installed and a small makeshift cafe near the atrium. Well li, warm and beautiful spot to study or chat comfortably. It's close to Square one and Celebration Square. Parking lot is underground and the parking entrance is a tad confusing to find. It's from Duke of York Blvd. Spending time here is blissful experience for children as well as adults. I'm addicted to it.

Always a good place to relax, read, study, get involved with the community and find programs of various types. There's a 3D printer and an area where they sell books as well. A cafe. Women's w.c. on each (?) Floor. Men's only on the first I think.

Huge library with an entire floor dedicated to children's books. I regularly bring my kids here because the selection of books is so vast.
