Greater Victoria Public Library

This is my location of choice for getting out of the house to work. The library is spacious, relatively quiet, and has decent WiFi. As long as you’re not eating peanut containing food, it’s OK to have a snack (don’t make a mess) or coffee. They even have a study room that can be booked up to twice a week for two hours to have meetings (same day booking only — call or come in when they open).
As far as traditional library services go, they have a great collection of Sci-​Fi (my escape of choice) and a huge selection of DVD’s. The entire GVPL catalog can easily be searched online and books, DVDs, and CD’s can be reserved to be picked up at the branch of your choice.
The staff have been unfailingly courteous and helpful. They even apologize in advance when they are running a program in the «Living Room» and thank us for our forbearance after.
