On Friday's they have kids activities at 1 pm and movies at 3. I will say we don't go to the movies because they are all 50s based and actually bore the kids. Like Kurt Russel in the Computer wore Tennis Shoes. 5 yr kids just don't understand why computers were so big and why he spoke "funny". Just too old fashioned. Would be better to do a Disney free movie day if it must be older pick things like Swiss family Robinson or old Yeller (tho that one is super sad) or just do good but less popular cartoon movies or movies like the old escape from witch mountains. 1940s movies are pushing it for today's kids. But hey at least they offer it!! My 5 yr old and 11 yr old love the activities. They've built robotic legos and had scavenger hunts and another Friday multiple tables with slime and kinetic sand and clay that was mixed with shaving cream. All in all a great small town library with an entire section for children. Very well done.

Holy mackerel, it's hot in New Mexico (that's not news) and while waiting for dark, this was a fantastic stop. The library is quite large and there's lots of seating. Of course, tons of fiction, non-fiction, reference, periodicals, children's, young adults and media. I found a desk with power outlets and windows that was quite comfortable. The staff is polite and helpful. You do not need to be a Roswell resident to use the library, only to borrow materials. [Review 17444 overall - 57 in New Mexico - 962 of 2022.]

We spent some time exploring the room that has antique desks, newspapers, magazines, photos, books, and other things. They didn't have many books for sale for adults, as some libraries do. Overall, it was a nice stop and fun to see some books by local authors and historic items.

People talk in their full voices on their cell phones and the librarians don't ask them to go outside. Also, teenagers use one of the Eugene Manlove Rhodes Room to hang out in, lounge on the floor, talk, laugh, socialize, etc... It's kind of a loud library, not a great place to plug in and work. More desks with plug-ins would be great. Posted signs about not talking on cell phones might help. Also, isn't there somewhere else teenagers can go be loud?

There's a parking lot for about 25 cars and a nice park attached with more parking across the street. It's brightly lit inside and quiet. I've been to many other libraries and it's the first time I've seen so many tables and chairs available. It's very inviting for you to come and spend an afternoon. Also, great signs everywhere showing inclusiveness and that libraries are for everyone. One drawback might be that there's one main room so it's possible sound could travel easily.

My encounter with Mrs. Hickerson has left a bitter taste in my mouth and, unfortunately, lends a poor reflection of this library for me. She was rude, dismissive and made me feel absolutely invisible. For someone who frequents this library weekly, I am disappointed to say the least. 5 stars for the resources, spaciousness and availability of this library. I have emailed the director and hope that my concerns are heard.

The teen room has potential if the teen librarian/interim director Jessica Rodgers actually kept it…read moreclean and safe. Instead, she is more concerned with being seen as a friend. I have heard horrible racist comments, kids telling each other repeatedly to kill themselves, cussing non stop, physical fights IN HER OFFICE IN FRONT OF HER, kids calling other kids "retarded" and "gay", talk about drugs and drug court, a kid wearing a shirt that promotes marijuana, Jessica and her male assistant having conversations about their own personal dating relationships to teenage girls. Very very very inappropriate and unprofessional behavior. The bathrooms have not been cleaned in the 2 weeks of our daily patronage. It went without soap and toilet paper in the female bathroom for 2 days until I personally got fed up and told one of the front desk people. It took over an hour for them to replenish. There is overflowing used feminine products in the bathroom that has been there the entire 2 weeks. Homeless people use the facilities all the time, which is not a problem, but it needs to be cleaned and sanitized. I even offered to volunteer to clean for them and Jessica completely ignored my offer. There is food mess all over. And some very sketchy people that probably shouldn't be within a certain amount of feet from children. So disappointed. This library has a lot of potential, if they put someone appropriate and professional in charge.
