KPL does so many great things for the community. Board games are one thing, but they also offer free access to 3D printers, computers, VR, audio/video equipment, VHS tape digitization, music instrument loans, community gardens, lectures/workshops, an art gallery, movie nights, a chef that cooks meals for children/teens every day and more traditional things like knitting groups and reading groups. I kind of wish they'd improve certain parts of their book selection (namely philosophy, theory etc...they didn't even have Hegel last time I needed him hah) but they provide such an amazing service for our region.

I mean, I'm not familiar with philosophy, so I won't read into the fact that I haven't heard of Hegel, but WPL and KPL are general interest libraries, you would probably have more luck at a research library. I know UW (and I think also by extension Laurier) libraries are open to any adults residing in Ontario:

Alternatively, with KPL and WPL, there are inter-library loans, if there are other libraries with book you want you should be able to request them. And when I lived in London, you could request the library acquire books that were not available through any means. But again, YMMV as they are still general interest libraries.
