Essex County Library - Kingsville Branch

THE STUFF IS FREE!!! Where else can you go to get free stuff. Can't find what you want, they'll bring it in for you - free again. You can reserve free stuff for free. Surely it does not get any better than this. I'll definitely be back for more free stuff. Drop by to see the display of bird houses and feeders for the month of May.

Location and look
The library is conveniently located on the main street with ample free parking. The building itself looks very nice and the inside look and feel is very chic at the same time cozy. A simple layout and neatly laid out sections for fiction, non-fiction, videos, large prints, hold pick up etc. It is not as large library compared to the ones we are used to in Toronto but meets the need of the local community very well.

Facilities
The library offers standard facilities like free wifi, computer to access internet for research etc, play/reading area for children. a conference room with audio video visuals, and a service Ontario kiosk. The restroom is also very clean and tidy.

When the library was reopened after the covid shutdown, they have updated the materials with the latest trend.
And the materials returned are treated to avoid spread of Covid

Staff
The best part of this library is the staff. Super friendly and they always welcome the patron with a pleasant greeting. Very helpful to locate the books or other materials.

When I visited in the AM (soon after it opened at 9 AM), the library was quiet but I learnt that once the nearby school is over in the afternoon, the parents and kids drop by to pick up books.

Overall, the library and staff are amazing.

Always been happy with ordering books online and/or with looking for new books in person. the employees are friendly and helpful and enthusiastic!

Super friendly and helpful! Went for a walk to pick up books today, but forgot masks. Called and staff checked out books for us and brought them outside for us 😊

I practically lived in this place growing up. The librarians are wonderful, personable ladies and gents, the book selection is more than adequate, and if there are any problems with the system, rest assured... they're on it. Honestly this is one of my favourite libraries ever.
