I had came to Waterloo Public Library when I was a little kid with my parents. I had loved every minute of it. I had really liked looking at all of the books that were in the children’s section. I would remember as a little kid getting a library card. It was a great experience that I had decided to come back to this day.

I have a passion to explore and learn so books and libraries are my go to places. I love going to all the locations in Waterloo. I am glad that I have the cozy quiet corner in Eastside Branch for myself where I can escape into the world of book. Additionally, my experience with the staff has always been top notch they are helpful and friendly. I genuinely appreciate the service provided.

I had a wonderful time at the Eastside Branch last night for the Shari Lapena / Nicole Lundrigan event. The moderator Kayleigh Platz was excellent and the staff made the event flow nicely. And what a beautiful library.

I attended the author meet and greet with Nicole Lundrigan and Shari Lapena last night and I wanted to share with everyone what an amazingly organized event this was! There were no delays, everything was working properly, the book signings were conducted so quickly despite of there being over a 100 people there. I hope this library puts up more events!

I remember going to the [Main Library] every Wednesday with my mum as a kid. I love WPL for these formative memories and now I bring my own son to the [Main Library] and [John M. Harper Branch] and I know I’m making the same memories for him.

Access to physical and digital books, community programs, printing resources, games and movies. Immigrated to Canada 2 years ago and [have been] visiting WPL since. It has a lot of lovely memories associated.

I love going to the new [Eastside Branch] because I’ve found a nice and cozy place to study and do some of my writing!

I love my library for so many reasons! You guys are such a great community service and the staff are all phenomenal! I love the special monthly events, both online and in person. And where else can you learn new things and meet new people without having to buy something?!

The [John M.] Harper Branch had just opened after we moved to Waterloo. When my kids were younger they loved the story time and choosing books afterwards. So many wonderful and carefully chosen books and games! As teens, they still enjoy browsing and reserving books and are so excited to pick them up. Also a great place for me to find a great read and pick some up for my parents. Staff are always so kind and helpful, a treasure in our community!
