"3"^^ . "5"^^ . . "Picking up my hold item! I have lived over half my life here in the Queen City and have been a library patron since then too. I started out at the OLD Southpark branch at Sharon Corners back in 1987, became a patron of Scaleybark in 1988 when I lived in apartments within walking distance, and later when I owned my condo in Sedgefield. I've used Morrocroft, too. Since moving to Ballantyne 10 years ago, I've called this\nbranch my home base, and it truly is the best of the branches I know and love. Surprising to me was the fact that it is also the largest regional branch, beating out Morrrocroft! \n\nFilled with lots of natural light, a great internet access area upstairs and a great patio with an overhead trellis and a fountain. It's great to sit outside on a perfect Carolina Blue day and tuck in to your newly check-out item for a bit. There is usuallly a terrific best seller available in the new arrivals section and plenty of DVDS too, all this to befound on the first floor with plenty of self check out kiosks and friendly staff. \n\nLove this branch, roomy and now they have holds shelved right under the stairs for easy pick up by patrons. I always reserve online and pick up at this brancs"^^ . "2013-08-12T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ . "1"^^ . . .
