The wifi just pops on without needing a password or anything; what a thought! There is a garage underneath the place. As libraries go, this is rather retro in the sense that it still has a lot of physical books and some, but not a ton of spaces for people to sit or do meetings. I imagine the library of the future being a ton of little rooms for zoom meetings. That being said, this tiny town doesn't seem to place too much demand on the space, and it's a nice place to be.

Went there to get an International document notarized. The old lady at the front counter who stated…read moreshe was a notary tried to alter the document which is against the law. Clearly this old lady has no clue as to her role as a Notary. Went to a local Attorney's office and they notarized it without any problems. Clearly the librarian was attempting to practice law without a license. The lady needs to be investigated as she is giving legal advice on international documents and has not a clue what she's talking about.

I officially live in Jessamine Co. but just across the Fayette-Jessamine line so I seldom actually…read morevisit the library there. I recently attended a Fruit Tree Disease Management class there and was thoroughly impressed with the facility! It's a huge building with ample parking. It has several very nice meeting rooms and they offer all sorts of free classes. They put out a newsletter each month with all of the classes and events listed. I'll definitely be visiting for more events soon. One really nice service is that you can request books from the library and pick them up/drop them off at the box just outside Kroger in Brannon Crossing. If you live in the north side of Jessamine county, this makes getting library materials much more convenient.

I have to confess though that, on this particular day, I was visiting in order to visit the rotunda which features the world's largest ceiling clock, a 5-story Foucault pendulum, and a frieze depicting the history of the horse on the Bluegrass. Beautiful! It was also clear that this is a "living library" -- with many patrons (including school students), signs for community events, and Ask a Librarian research assistance. There is a parking garage next door (the library validates for up to two hours) and some street parking.

Let me start by saying I'm a self-professed library nerd/frequent flyer, so I've visited a TON of…read morethem. The best thing about this one is the extended hours. The new building is spacious, but it seems to be the only thing that got an update. I was really disappointed. The clerks are friendly but unenthusiastic, and give the impression of wanting to do the least they can get by with. When someone asks for help, they point them in a general direction most of the time, rather than the typical library experience of taking them to what they're looking for. The gray-haired man and one clerk from the children's room are the only ones I've seen willingly leave the desk or converse with patrons. They don't have a lot of popular books you would expect to find, and can find, at libraries in surrounding counties, and the ones they do have are rarely in the proper place. The children's area, which consists of a carpeted stage, some stuffed animals and a few computers, is especially disorganized, even taking into account that kids pull out books and don't put them back correctly. The activities offered are toddler story time, monthly Lego club, no-frills movie nights and teen game nights. I appreciate what they do offer and don't mean to seem ungrateful, but I'm originally from a town with a population of 937 versus Mount Sterling's 7,209 and that library, which is older than me with the same clerks from when I was a child, has interactive children's toys, a better selection of books and WAY better activities happening more frequently. Libraries should feel magical! With passionate staff and proper management, this one would.

As soon as your book is ready, they email and text you. You can go anytime the library is open to pick up the book. I think they hold the book for several days, In case you can't come get it when it's ready. You pull up to the curbside spot and call the library. They bring it out within minutes. It's so fast and easy!! If the book isn't available, they put you in line for the book and text you when it is your turn to check it out.
