I didn't make it past the front desk....and this is my review of my experience…read more The front desk clerk (I'm talking to you, Mrs. Yellow shirted, "I Love My Library Card" lady) was the most emotionless, bored, uninterested, monotonous, person I have ever seen as a customer service public servant. She offered no greeting, but did ask if she could help me. What I needed help with required a manager and she was more than eager to get one for me. While I waited for the manager, she made eye contact once, while continuously scanning what was going on behind me and continued with small talk about the weather. I asked if she was a volunteer, to which she answered directly, "Nope". I then asked how long she had been working at the library....her response? "27 years". Good. Lawd. She needed to obviously retire. She showed no excitement or interest in her job. Even Richard Simmons would have gotten depressed.

As well as programs for kids, tweens and teens. My now adult age kid voulenteered here during their high school years. My almost middle school age kid has done things ranging from Pokemon club, tinkercad, 3d printing. As well the maker spot is an amazing resource from their quilting and sewing machines, 3d printer and other things you can use at the library. They also have a pretty good summer reading program. Go support our local libraries!

They have study rooms and I especially liked the Langston Hughes Study room, a lot of areas to sit and read. Great areas to co-work. Snack machines on first floor. Very helpful librarians, I was welcomed in and this rarely occurs. I felt welcomed. They also have a Makers area and room for various things from 3d printing to sewing.

Oh, the hours I have spent in this library. Some good, some bad…read more For students, this is the primary space to find a guaranteed quiet space for work, to print using your MavID, where to go to utilize the FabLab, or to get Einstein Bagels. The basement is a more open student area, with vending machines. Additionally, if you walk down there and immediately look to your left, you should see exercise bikes and treadmills fitted with surfaces to read or study while working out. There are only a couple, so they are first come, first serve. The 6th floor is a big open space with very little furniture, and offices. Great view from the window, however. The other floors are a mix of "quiet floors" and study floors, and the legend on each floor should tell you. The majority of the students hang on floor 2, which is not a quiet floor, but offers the freedom to talk, numerous desktop computers that can be utilized logging in with your MyMav credentials and a tutoring station. Additionally, if you are looking for a small convenience store, this is your spot. Nearly every floor has study rooms that require a reservation. This is the biggest downside - you have to scan the QR code, or type the website, and when you do, you will notice that most rooms are reserved for months out. If you want to reserve a room (particularly one for midterms or finals) I suggest exploring your options by the 3rd week of the semester. The library is 24 hours (with a few exceptions), but if you are a guest (not a student, or a student that does not have a UTA ID) then you will be asked to leave at midnight when UTA Police come around for ID check. From what I have been told, this is due to a previous issue with homeless people sleeping in the library. If you wish to take advantage of the library, but you are not a student, a drivers license will grant you access at the front desk, and the second floor has a guest computer that you can login to. If you can, check out the trees directly in front of the library during the holiday season - the trees are decorated with UTA blue and orange lights. Happy studying!

I work all over the state of Texas doing historical research in libraries and archives, in person,…read moreonline, and by phone. The expertise of the Fort Worth History Center's staff and their willingness to help are at the top of the libraries in the state. Their archival holdings are outstanding for a municipal library and many are digitized. The building is well-lighted and equipped with a number of computers for public use, a lighted magnification machine, a scanner with email service, and more. I am particularly familiar with Tarrant County, Texas private and public archives where I live and regard the Fort Worth History Center as an essential stop for any local county and city research. Also, they have extensive genalogical holdings by Texas counties and other states that are helpful to those doing genealogical and/or historical research. It is a pleasure to walk into the Center and to use their resources.

I work from home so anyplace with a cozy seat and free wifi is a good place for me. This library is multi-level with plenty of seating. Computers, printers, resources, tons of community programs and classes. They provide shelter in extreme weather. They provide food for hungry families. I recently learned they have a retro technology lab, so I'm interested in digitizing some old home videos. Being able to do something like that for free is an amazing privilege. Libraries are so important in our communities. Education, support, shelter, resources for all, and especially for those who need it. Support your local library!
