| - Living in Whitby for the majority of my life, I can say with confidence that this library is the perfect place to not only study and work, but also, to find yourself. Every aspect of the Whitby Library is perfect, from the wide variety of seating options to the large collection of books, magazines and DVDs.
This location is perfect for children, as a large portion of the 1st floor is dedicated to children books and beginner-chapter books for budding readers! They really take care of the youngsters here, and it is shown in the way they provide free story-time sessions. If you have a child and they don't know how to read yet, this is a great place for them to start!
A notable section of the library would definitely be the cafe, found on the first floor. While a little on the pricy side, I must say that their sandwiches are "to die for"!
If I had to pick out a crown jewel building to represent Whitby, it would have to be the Whitby Public Library, hands down. This is simply because it is the place where community meets knowledge. The beauty of this building makes me want to strive for greatness and urges me to work harder in whatever Im working on whenever I'm here. Although it is your typical library, where everyone is quiet and largely keeps to themselves, you can't help but feel a sense of community and security whenever your inside.
Large windows, comfortable (and plentiful!) seating, stable tables, reliable computers, a relaxing atmosphere, and no shortage of reading material; what more could you want!?
