Like other DML branches, it is clean and well-maintained…read more It has a larger children's and teen's section than some of the other branches, including a teen quad and opportunity space which appears to be geared towards arts and crafts. Reservable spaces include a quad for up to 4 people, group room for up to 8 people, conference room for up to 10 people and large community room for up to 90 people. There's also a quiet reading area with two 4-person tables, two 2-person tables and some reading chairs. Most of these spaces are on the inner portion of the library, so they lack windows. Other than the reservable spaces, there's not a whole lot of other places to sit -- only two other larger tables, one of which is occupied by a community puzzle. Of note, it gets rather cold here so bring a jacket if you plan on staying a while!

And if we can't find what we need at the location, we just go online to the Greene County system to reserve items, and within a few days they are available for pick up. When the kids were little, we would walk over and participate in toddler story time - they are always friendly and welcoming. The staff is helpful but no-nonsense, just like you would expect a librarian to be. The library is in a neat old stone building - every time I walk in the front door, I can feel the history of Bellbrook. Every spring, the Garden Club does a great job with the landscaping and flowers out front. We love our community library!

The West Carrollton branch of the DML library system shares a building with the Civic Center,…read morealthough you aren't really able to tell from the inside. It boasts just over 16,000 square feet and was renovated in 2018. Reservable spaces include two 4-person quads, a 10-person conference room and a community room for up to 50 people. The conference room at this location is one of the larger conference rooms I've seen thus far at any DML branch, with reclining office chairs to boot. However, neither the quads or conference room have windows facing the outside. There is a quiet room with a two 4-person tables and a couple reading chairs that does have windows to allow light in from the outside. There is also a teen corner with a few booths, but other than that there are limited tables throughout the main part of the library, mainly just reading chairs. Like all DML branches, this branch is clean and well-maintained.

I drove there on a day they were going to be open .. went around 1pm .. figured no way they wouldn't be open. Well do the the carona virus they were only open for 3 hours .. 3-6. I called and said didn't know .. only have 1 item and i'm here now. Nooooo way could they be bothered. instead they put people items in the lobby where anyone could take them. i was the only one there .. and the staff were in there ... I was speechless at their attitude. Another time i put a movie on hold .. was waited and waited and waited A YEAR .. apparently not all the branches share the items bought with tax dollars. i challenge you to put a movie on hold at any of the Dayton branches and do the same at any other area libraries ... you will die of old age waiting on Dayton. The only reason i use it is there is a rare time when the other libraries dont have something. but not a fan. Especially when they are funded by donations and taxes .. you'd think they would be more concerned with providing better service to keep the donations and voters willing to fund them.

The police have to do something after all. Schools are highly rated, but the big controversary is they need another levy to pay those huge salary and it's already too high. In most cases, we do get what we pay for. It's a great place to live. We won't go far.

Story times are a blast but some do require a sign up. I would check out the website or call ahead before dropping in to confirm. The kids section is HUGE and has a nice play area for kids under the age of six. There are iPads and other devices with activities for older children. I'm not too knowledgeable about the older kids programs but I've seen photos friends have posted online and they look like a lot of fun. My favorite part about this library is the events they host in the evening for adults. I love all of the crafting events! These are always sign up only and fill up quickly. They post about the events on the Facebook page and tell you what day sign ups begin. You can sign up online but I find it best to call in early that day and sign up. I've attended a few painting classes, wine glass painting, book purse making, etc. We eat, we chat, we craft! It's a great girls night activity! And if they happen to have another murder mystery night, do yourself a favor and sign up! The actors are interactive and they let you explore the library to find clues and grill the suspects. I've recently moved away and miss my small town library!

The Historic Franklin County Courthouse is located in Brookville, Indiana on a small public square…read more There are several historical markers that indicate that the current courthouse is the third courthouse and was remodeled to the present day neoclassical structure during 1910-1912. The original third building was designed by Edwin May, the architect that designed the Indiana State House. Arthur Dunlap and Marshall Van Arman were the architects that redesigned the courthouse in 1910. The redesign improved the roof, enlarged the complex and modernized the building. Additional modernization has occurred since 1912. The entrance of the building is decorated in mosaic tile. The stairs and walls are covered in marble with brass railings on the stairs. Some of the original oak woodwork is still in place while many doors and woodwork have been modernized. The art of Indiana artist, Dan Woodson, is displayed throughout the courthouse. A bust of Benjamin Franklin, the County namesake, stands in honor outside the courtrooms. Oddly, there were no people in the halls and all county offices were behind closed doors. There was a single case of historical memorabilia on the first floor. Outside the building is a statue of Lew Wallace, born in Brookville. Lew was a Civil War General and author of Ben Hur. On the base below the statue, are plaques honoring those who served in all Wars since the Civil War from Franklin County. Additionally, a nearby memorial honors first responders from the County. Free two-hour parking is available around the square.

In 1851, 30 people came together to purchase 600 acres (former farms of Edmund Glenn & John Riddle…read morewhom the village is named after) and formed the Glendale Association. The land was located along the line of the Hamilton, Cincinnati and Dayton Railroad. The town was planned, lots were sold and the first house was built in 1852. Glendale is one of the earliest known examples of a planned community. Today, this historic downtown area is worth a stopover if you are in the area. The town is absolutely beautiful and still offers some of the most beautiful and breathtaking homes in the surrounding area...you can only imagine the things they've seen. The village's business district straddles the tracks near Sharon Road. There are restaurants, shops, etc. The town is also known for its black squirrels and is unofficially known as Ohio's black squirrel town. As the story goes (and don't quote me)...the credit for the black squirrels being there goes to businessman Thomas Carruthers III. Back in the 1940s he brought four black squirrels to Glendale from Harbor Springs, Michigan. Squirrels do what squirrels do and reproduced. So, yes...there are still plenty of black squirrels in this area and they are fascinating. If you've never seen one, you may rub your eyes to make sure of what you're seeing the first time...well...you are seeing correctly and not imagining it. The squirrels have become the village's unofficial mascot. In 2005, to celebrate the sesquicentennial of Glendale, the mayor at the time hired a company to create 25 fiberglass black squirrel statues. The folks who owned each statue could decorate them any way they wanted and they were all on display in 2005. Sadly, only 13 can still be seen today. I personally tried to spot as many as I could, but I didn't find all 13. There is supposed to be a map available of where they are located inside the museum in the town square. However, the museum was closed when we visited, but please keep this in mind if you want to seek them all out. I hope they do it again sometime in the future...it's pretty cool. If you find yourself in this area and looking for something to do...this place does not disappoint! Have Fun!
