This is the downtown Bend branch of the Deschutes Public Library system (note: you'll find reviews…read moreunder 'Downtown Bend Library' as well and Yelp seems uninterested in combining the pages despite being asked). - It's a fine library. Big(ish), well-stocked with books, magazines, CDs and such, has numerous free computers, has a good wi-fi system. - Lots of reading areas with comfortable seating. - Staff are friendly and helpful. - A great local section if you're interested in learning about Central Oregon. - Plentiful parking and lots of bike racks. - The online system (which serves the Deschutes system not just the Bend branch) works well and includes downloadable ebooks.

Wasted Resources The DPL has a number of rooms set aside for…read morestudy and tutoring. Some of those rooms are meant for groups. However, when those rooms are not being used by groups, they could be used by individuals who might be working on projects that require more space or maybe they need to do a study call over Zoom or Google Meets. However, the DPL does not allow that under any circumstances at least that's what I was told. Seems a waste of resources to heat, cool and light a space that no one is using. I guess the DPL doesn't mind blowing the public's money in order to follow random rules that make about as much sense as gills on cactus.

Awful librarian. I came in with my service animal to use the printer, which I have done several…read moretimes. I was asked about my service animal (an inappropriate amount of questions) and then told I couldn't have him with me despite the fact that I told them his tasks because to her those tasks weren't actual service animal tasks and apparently I don't have a service animal. I then had to reiterate the fact that I do have a disability and this is my service animal SEVERAL times and even then she was not convinced and only left when I asked if I needed to file a complaint. I printed my pages and left and will not be returning and will be reporting the incident. What an awful human to discriminate against disabled individuals like that.
