One of the worst libraries I've ever been in. The only thing I can say is, thanks for the free…read moreWiFi. It's a small branch but very dated. There are not quiet, private areas to sit. There are 2 study rooms that apparently book far in advance, even though when I called in advance and was told they were first come first serve. When I asked someone they said they were booked until 4pm (yet nobody was in them). Children from the neighboring school piled in as soon as their bell rang and caused such disturbance. I depend on public facilities like libraries to meet with my patients in the community for their intakes. It's very distracting when there are teens running around and listening to loud music . I asked a teen twice to turn his music down on his headphones. It was so loud I could hear every word. A library employee did nothing about it. Didn't address the behaviors. All the employees were terrible and could have cared less. The bathroom was gross and smelled like a cattle barn. Stay away from here! Bad on you Allen County. You have a giant fancy library downtown, but can't update your other ones?

Such a nice pleasant Library. Unique. Only thing negative I have to say is when I walked in and…read moreasked the worker about checking out books because I am from out of town they wouldn't allow that. I think all libraries should have something set up so when people visit from out of town they can still utilize the library services.

Ever since moving, I have voted via absentee ballot for pretty much every election and vote held…read more Most recently for a single issue ballot, my family and I did not request one and came physically to vote. Besides us, there may have been one or two other people voting. Certainly not use to being able to immediately vote, when going to a polling place. Back where I am from, even early voting the lines could take hours. The process was easy, the polling workers were friendly. I also have to say, the scanner look new, are modern and quickly read your vote. Great experience! Much easier than I expected. Just want to end by saying, if your of legal age and can vote... vote! Its your civic duty! Cherish this right! Take it from my family, who came from a country where this right didn't and still does not exist.

I tend to love the more obscure roadside attractions in my home state of Indiana. One such…read moreattraction is Berne, Indiana's Muensterberg Plaza and Clock Tower. I am especially fond of the clock tower, a 160-foot tall multi-million dollar replica of the clock tower in Bern, Switzerland that was dedicated in 2010. I used to drive through Berne semi-regularly due to my church obligations that would frequently have me in this part of the state. Located on, you guessed it, North Church Avenue in Berne, this clock tower is beautiful to look at and consistent with the Swiss theme that dominates Berne, Indiana. Admission is free to this roadside attraction. Berne, Indiana is located in Adams County about 35 miles south of Fort Wayne. Population is about 4,000 and they have a substantial Amish population that speaks a Swiss German dialect known as Bernese German. The town comes by its Swiss connection naturally - it was settled in 1852 by Mennonites that came here directly from Switzerland. That relationship with Switzerland has been maintained. The entire city of Berne takes a little bit over 2 square miles! The plaza also includes "The Settler's Statue," a statue commemorating the area's first settlers, along with the only stateside Canton Tree and a flower bed designed in quilting patterns. The clock is actually quite popular even for local residents who are quite proud of it. You pretty much can't visit Berne without seeing the clock - partly because it's such a main feature and partly because it's big enough that it stands out in the city. Do you remember the Dilley sextuplets? They were the world's first surviving sextuplets. They were from Berne, IN. This is honestly a great day trip - in addition to checking out this tourist attraction you have multiple close by places to visit including Oubache State Park, Gene Stratton Porter Museum, Pine Lake Waterpark, and Swiss Heritage Village & Museum among others. If you get a chance, I definitely recommend stopping in Berne, IN and checking out their beautiful clock tower.

What a beautiful monument! When passing through Berne, you can't miss this tower as it looms…read moretoward the sky. The tower has a glockenspiel that operates at set times during warmer weather. The plaza is a nice park, with plenty of space to enjoy the out of doors. I posted pictures taken during my visit in January and to see the monument surrounded by white snow was awesome. I'll have to make a return visit during warmer months when the grass is visible. On the corner of Main Street and US-27.

Nice little used book store next to the Dunkin Doughnuts, inside the main library. The prices are…read morefairly reasonable (they don't pay rent or pay volunteers). I bought a used travel book for about $2 the other day. The bookstore is clean, small and well organized. I agree with a few other yelpers... stores like this make you steer away from electronic books like the Kindle. Most of the books I read, I find browsing through book stores. Or even in the library. For the yelp sseach engines. Also called: Twice Sold Tales

I found out while visiting Fort Wayne that an O.G. college buddy from the OC is actually originally…read morefrom Fort Wayne. Small word! He also has a tangential connection to the Fort Wayne Famous Coney Island restaurant. Even smaller world, because I could see this hot dog restaurant from my hotel window! So I popped into the wiener shop to get my friend a souvenir. I wanted him to receive his gift post-haste, and I also wanted the package to have Fort Wayne postage on it. (It's the little details, you know?) So I headed to the nearest post office to send my package. This Fort Wayne post office did the job! Like lots of post offices, it's old and looks like it's from the 1980s. But it had all of the things I needed: a big envelope to mail the gift in, three clerks at the counter (I didn't wait long at all), and even a pen, which I ended up needing, too. They even had a dish of candy! I didn't take any, but that's nice that they offered. I was in and out in less than five minutes. This post office is also open until 6 p.m. on the weekdays, which was nice for me because I didn't feel like I had to rush to get there. You should know: There is one entrance and one exit! This post office is located on a one-way street, and you need to drive by the exit in order to get to the entrance. I didn't know that and entered through the exit, so that's why I'm telling you. Don't be an exit-enterer like me.

After a debacle at a local UPS store, where I found out that for the purposes of that shipper,…read morePuerto Rico is considered a foreign country and requires we fill out customs paperwork among other bonkers requirements, I decided to drive to the tried and true USPS. This is not my local branch, as I live out in Van Wert, OH. I was in the area though, and my branch was closed for the day. So in I came to ship a Christmas gift to my friends in Puerto Rico. This place needs more order. USPS does not have a service to box your stuff for you. They have supplies (you pay for) to box your own items, but they are located in different areas. The boxes are where the lines are, the tape is near the entrance in another room. You of course do not know this and are given no signage to help direct you. The line was enormous, it took almost an hour for me to get to the front of the line to ship the gift. Thankfully, I got it done. The things you do for people you care about..

The security guards are on the ball here and do more than the rest of them. They really work these guards hard here and don't pay them nearly enough for all that they do. They gotta deal with hobos, drunks, people sleeping, cpr, you name it they do it. Love the building high ceilings good stuff to check out books, movies, music you name it. Good place for hobos to stay warm just don't sleep they will kick you out.

What an incredible library we have in downtown Fort Wayne!…read more The staff is friendly and always willing to help. One of the best things are all of the amenities available to you when you get a library card. Apps, online downloading, streaming...the list goes on and on! Each section is filled with so many great items and I, myself, could literally spend hours there! It is well organized and well kept. I love the ease of the checkout process being self-service, with many places around the library. You can get in and out quick, if you need to. Additionally, they offer many great programs, a lot of them free, for people in the community to take part in. If you haven't already, check out the ACPL!
