I come to this library primarily to use the study rooms which are nice, spacious and comfortable. They have a white board inside of them as well. My favorite part of this library is the display of African American baseball artifacts on multiple levels. It shows how important, valuable and the great contribution African Americans players made to the sport of baseball. Park on the garage level.....maybe on floor 3 of the garage which had a small bridge to enter the library directly. Also, The community college shares the upper floors of this library as well which includes larger study rooms and an entire computer lab. The staff is really helpful as well. Will definitely be back time and time again

I used to walk there once a week until I injured my back 10 years ago. It's tiny but there are after school events for children. They have computers and a printer. You can go online and order any book in the Enoch Pratt system and pick it up there. Even DVDs if people still use those. With your library card you get access to a free streaming service with movies, documentaries and educational material. And the staff are fantastic. I haven't been there in 10 years so I imagine the staff has changed now. So wonderful to have these services available in Pigtown! Next time I need to print something I'll try to head up there with the help of a neighbor.

I just moved in the area so this place is pretty convenient for me.

A library that can rival the chic and modern branches in other country systems is certainly one worth talking about. I was really impressed with the space and how intentionally everything was set up. I would highly recommend paying a visit. Keep in mind there is only street parking but there is a bus stop that is steps away. I went to the Jazz in the Stacks event with the Gregory Thompson ensemble. Stunning library and the Jazz was phenomenal.

Something that I have not held in the city for over 10 years. I should be ashamed to say that. However, she made the process smooth. She also gave me the needed information to be a part of the Summer adult reading program. I then went to the basement to attend the class. The art teacher arrived a little late due to thinking the class was to start later. However, a good time was held by all. I enjoyed creating my step by step guided painting. I had a beautiful self created photo once finished. The artist was very friendly as well as the other adults that attended the class. They also provided us with snack and drink. You should check out some of the other classes that the library offer free to adults.

I arrived to the library around 12:30pm and sat upstairs at the large table near the teenage book section with my assignments and headphones to start working. As I was finding my seat, I saw a sign on the quiet study room that said no elementary or middle schoolers were allowed in. I didn't think much of it l because there were no children around. Sometime after 2pm, multiple kids (elementary and middle school age) showed up and the library turned unintentionally into an aftercare program. They were very noisy and the librarian constantly had to remind them of proper library etiquette. I was glad to see kids use the library's free resources so I give 4 stars. The library is beautiful, was clean and maintained very well but the children made it difficult to get my work done. Next time I'll visit earlier and/or go in the study room. I didn't notice until I was going back to my car that there were so many schools located right next to the library so definitely come earlier in the day to avoid the ruckus.
