| - I'm not sure why no one gave this library branch five stars!
Yes, this library is not big, but it's nice, cozy, and the staff on hand are amazing. My daughter and I come here every Tuesday to get library books and movies. It's located a block from where we live and we love it. It's not too big to where we get lost finding something we need. If you don't find something you need, you can always go online and put it on hold and designate the hold item to the library you want.
They recently renovated this library so now it has a teen section and a study area. The only problem I can think of is that it isn't really quiet. The kid section is located near the study area and I can see how that is a problem. But as I recall most of the libraries I go to now, it's usually really noisy. Apparently no one respects the whole don't talk in the library thing anymore (that goes for adults too!).
The staff is amazing. They are always helpful and are informative about when reading contests starts and when events are happening in the library.
The had a Dr. Seuss event a couple of months ago and even though there were only a couple of staff on hand it was amazing. They had a reading session, balloon animals, and face painting. Yes, the face painting line was long (and my daughter didn't get her face painted), but there was only ONE person face painting and he did a wonderful job (all free hand).
After reading all these negative reviews, if you don't like it - obviously you can drive a couple of more miles to Burton Barr. I prefer a smaller, cozy library where the staff is on hand and have time to help their customers.
They are closed Sundays and Mondays. Tuesday to Thursday they are open from 9 am to 7 pm and Friday and Saturday they are open from 9 am to 5 pm.
