that's just the reading atrium. it used to be full of stacks, but they downsized the collection and got rid of half the stacks in the atrium to make more seating room. kinda sucks. there is more to the library behind this where the circulation desk, magazines, kids room, computer room, fiction room, etc are

robarts would be a nice library if UofT had like half or a third of its current student population

as it stands it's just a jampacked homework writing centre for thirty seven billion asians. which i guess is necessary but it's sort of hard to enjoy the place unless it's 20 minutes to closing and all the people having half-whispered conversations and eating entire fucking meals at the tables have cleared out.

also rudest staff in the history of libraries. one or two nice people and a whoooole lot of bitter old ethnic ladies.

You'll often find groups of African children playing games on the top floor, but aside from that, it's definitely the comfiest place in town. I'd often go here to read books and skip school back in my edgy high-school days. There's a good selection of books, and something neat is that it's built around ancient ruins, all which are on display at the bottom floor.

S'up.

E.J.Pratt's reading room is where it's at, so long as it's not exam-season.
Small enough that people can't get away with the noise-making they do elsewhere (heaven help you if you try and study at Gerstein...), comfy chairs on the second floor, nice high ceiling, and you can prostrate yourself before the Northrop Frye/T.E. Lawrence shrine, if you so choose.

Someone else's blurry pic related.

Yes and no. It's gotten much better in the last 5ish years or so. Younger people are moving to the hip areas and new businesses and restaurants are opening all the time. Suburbanites are more willing to do things and spend their money in the city. Many core neighborhoods are much much better. Downtown is almost unrecognizable compared to 10 years ago because of how much has changed (for the good).

However, the city is really really big, and there are miles upon miles of neighborhoods that are just as bad as you can imagine. Areas are gentrifying for the incoming white hipsters, but not as much is being done for the neighborhoods, which is where most of the city's population lives. I must note that there are many stable black neighborhoods though. The schools are completely awful, which is a big deal for the city's future.

So it's a mixed bag. The city is objectively improving, but the change is focused on the whiter, gentrifying, hipster areas and downtown. People are hoping that a trickle down effect will radiate out to the neighborhoods.

I've started to enjoy Brutalism precisely because how many libraries seems to have been based of it.

It's seems to me that brutalism was connected with a deep desire to make literature, any by extension a truth, within the reach of the masses. However much we can criticize the truth that was spread (be it capitalism, fascism or Stalinism) we can't take the desire to educate away from it.

Brutalism has thus to me become synonymous with a desire to cause action within the populace, to make them realize themselves.

Holy shit someone actually posted the library I go to. Did not expect that. Here's another pic.

It's actually... weirdly good? Like, the good thing about it is that it's kind of unpredictable - there's all kinds of dusty shit lying around, presumably because it's underfunded, so you'll randomly run into something awesome and weird from the 70s and then not be able to find something relatively commonplace. I dunno, I kind of like it.

all of these nice pics make me miss my old university library, even if it was a brutalist mess of a design that made it hard to get too comfy. they used to give me free maps they were going to throw out. they'd order any book i asked them to get. qt librarian girls. browsing the marxism stacks. flipping through old german editions of goethe i could barely understand.

you really only start to miss something when you don't have it and i sure miss that place. now im stuck in a shit town where my own personal library is more impressive than the public one

i once tried looking for a marquis de sade book at the library, and they didn't have any sade at my library, nor the one in the next county over, nor the one in the bigger city next to my town, nor in the local community college.

older pic back when the campus was in its original state, you'll notice the library is quite a bit smaller, and that the main floor is on the second floor. when they took down those big walkways this kinda screwed up all the buildings on campus since on most of them the main floor was the second floor

miss that place even though i hated it ;_;

I love that people chose such interesting architecture for all these libraries. Rather than post the rinky dink suburban library near where I live I'll post muh uni library. It's pretty good, it usually has the book I want even if it is out of print or rare. It's hard to find a pic that illustrates it but much of the library is underground, there is a large plaza in front of the glass structure that is actually the roof of below ground floors.

Just around the corner from me. Somewhat decent selection inside, full of crackheads half the time, but it was used as the exterior for the police station in the original '84 Nightmare on Elm St, which is pretty neat.
