We are regular library users and normally attend the Rock Hill branch, where staff are welcoming,…read moresupportive, and wonderful with families and young children. Unfortunately, since that branch is temporarily closed, our experiences at the Fort Mill branch have been the complete opposite. I am a pregnant mother of three young children (ages 4, 2, and 1) and visit alone. I make every effort to maintain appropriate library behavior, but anyone with toddlers understands they require constant supervision. On our most recent visit, a staff member named Tom H. approached me at the self-checkout without greeting or offering help and told me to "keep the volume down." When I explained I was trying my best and was actively checking out to leave, he repeated himself and walked away. At the same time, another family with loud, running children was present and not addressed at all. Afterward, I observed Tom H. discussing my family with other staff members. At no point did he ask if I needed assistance, despite clearly seeing I was managing young children alone. This interaction was upsetting and left me feeling judged, singled out, and unwelcome. Based on repeated visits, this branch does not feel like a supportive or inclusive environment for mothers with young children. Libraries should encourage early literacy and family engagement--this location does not. I hope management takes this feedback seriously so no other parent leaves feeling discouraged from bringing their children into a library.

It has been so long that we've been able to walk into a library, coming to this one felt like such…read morea privilege. We were a little lost finding a parking space since we came in through the staff parking side, and there are no "main doors." But the library is so large, having little doors all around I suppose is most suitable. So that's another thing, it's large! And I love it! It's a two story library (from what I saw), with clearly marked sections and a wonderful children's area. We immediately got ourselves library cards and began toward the children's section. My son was excited to choose new books to read (all dinosaurs and trucks of course), my daughter had a blast exploring a new open space, and neither of them wanted to leave at the end. They offer plenty of reading areas, small tables with activities, and a little computer area for children as well. The staff were extremely friendly and gave us some flyers on family events. I LOVE when libraries have tons of community events. Movie nights, crafts, toddler reading times, and bingo are all offered. They apparently have a separate auditorium for it all, which we didn't get to see, but sounds really exciting. We are excited to come again when we go for a new round of books.

They have touch screen computers with many educational activities on the computer. They also have a kids play area with rotating toys.

All the librarians are so nice and helpful! We always love coming here!

Why am I taking the time to review a public library? You can't eat books right? Well, I guess…read moretechnically your brain can ingest them. I'm reviewing this place because of their awesome children's programs. Christy, the children's librarian does an incredible job. Tuesdays at 10 AM is Story Time for ages 3-5, with guest readers. On Superhero Day, the children had to go through an obstacle course and perform heroic tasks, like lifting boulders and saving a baby from lava (of course it was make believe).Recently, Bright Star Children's Theater put on a production of The Ugly Duckling; it was highly interactive- they asked the kids how they felt and what they would have done in the story. The same week, a professional children's musician, Miss Lynn, came and performed a concert; her music was silly and fun with infectious melodies. It was really awesome. We bought the CD. Yeah, this library is pretty cool.

I almost like this one better because you can actually browse pretty much every book on every shelf. Plus, it's not nearly as crowded so you have a lot of space to yourself without worrying about the other people around you. It's nothing large, but they do carry a good amount of books. And with the quaintness & quietness, this place can be a welcomed change from the hustle & bustle of the main county library.

ImaginOn: The Joe & Joan Martin Center on Seventh Street downtown to name just three. Each has specialties that make them individuals. The South Park Regional had a fair collection of books and materials for the younger set, but really excelled at games and toys for engaging kids ... they even had a little cabin the kids could go in. The library itself was newish, clean and easy to get to, with available free parking ... although it is oftentimes full. Unlike some other libraries in the district, this one had more library things for kids to play with, but fewer library materials (books and puzzles). Still and all, nice library and recommended.
