I really appreciated how they always stayed on top of new releases and would order highly anticipated books to have them on hand when they came out. They also have a really efficient process for putting books on hold and picking them up when they're ready for you. One of the features I think is the best is their "library of things." Now, instead of just books and computers, you can also check out various items to help around the home (tools, cooking, etc.) I've since moved to another side of the state and I miss this library often. I highly highly recommend that anyone in the area get their library card ASAP.

The library is always…read moreclean, there are tons of activities, and the children's area has a monthly scavenger hunt that my grandchildren love. They also have challenges to keep reading fun! I have library cards to all three libraries in the area but Bedford Public Library is the one that I consider my home (and I don't even live in Bedford)

While the NRH Library isn't as modern and expansive as some libraries in larger cities like Dallas or Austin, there's a simple beauty in its organization, cleanliness, and welcoming/helpful staff. The staff are always welcoming and helpful in finding or directing you towards the book you're searching for. Their websites is one of the easier library sites to navigate, they include an event schedule separated into sections for adults, teens, and children--which is a small but helpful feature. They have a drive-thru type of book drop off, so you don't have to physically walk into the library to drop off your library books. They even host the Mid-Cities Teen Book Festival which features various events along with a free lunch that our entire family looks forward to each year! The MakerSpace is an area for arts and crafts and other events for teens and kids, they have Study Rooms for studying, and occassional book sales. It's also close by the NYTEX Centre (ice skating/hockey) and the NRH Centre (arts and recreation) which is very convenient! Highly recommend this library.

The staff is very nice and helpful. It is an also a nice facility. But for a town of this size…read morethe holdings are rather small.

It also helps that they have a bank of computers as my modem had not come in the mail yet and I needed to do some work. I was earmly greeted and assisted as soon as I walked in. The facility is large and well stocked. They even have an ancestry area to help you find out where you come from. It is just next to the REC center and has a drive thru book drop.

Before ever setting foot in the facility, I walked the grounds admiring the artwork (sculpture adorning the area heading into the front doors) and incredible landscaping (a running fountain and plant life). Of course residents of Grapevine qualify to apply for a library card. In addition, employees of the city are also eligible for one. Too bad I don't live in Grapevine; however, I am free to use their services but without the ability to check out material. Very gracious! PLEASE visit your local library.

Best library for kids in the area thanks to Ms. Karen. This…read morereview is limited to children's section/ experience, I have not used the other resources available. We've been coming to the Southlake library for two years now because my kid loves it, the decor, the coloring activities available and for Ms. Karen. Ms. Karen, and others, do a fantastic story time, coordinating activities, seasonal decorations and prizes. I've seen 4 th graders ask Ms Karen for book recommendations as she knows EVERY book under the roof and her opinion is valued by kids and parents alike. We do not live in Southlake so play the annual $25 fee for library use and it's money we'll spent. I find this library easy to navigate, I can find a book/ theme I'm looking for within minutes, they separate seasonal books too so if you're trying to teach about Thanksgiving or Valentines Day then they are all in a section of their own, which is so nice. If you need anything here, just ask and one of the highly skilled Librarian's will assist. I have only been impressed with each staff member and resources available here. Oh, and there is also a book return by the Marq, it's a drive by drop box which is convenient and nice to have as an option for days/ times the library is closed.

Struck me as a nice QUIET library, unlike the Keller Library, with its array of computers running video games and not isolated from the reading areas. Saw a large shelf with DVDs too. Though as I type this up I see pictures of what looks to be a story time, so perhaps the quiet is not a sure thing, so if that is what you seek, might want to look for an event schedule. Bottom line: Nice

I love the Keller Public Library! They have a variety of books, puzzles, games, movies, tv shows,…read moreand other things to choose from. I love the atmosphere and always come here if I need a cozy place to study. They also have lots of fun activities for all ages.

So this isn't breaking news or anything, but here's my new discovery for the Keller City Library:…read moreeBooks, audiobooks and Freegal Now I'm not completely thrilled how they work, as checkouts and downloads are limited, but hey, it's free, so I can't really complain. For eBook and audiobooks you are limited to three holds and three checkouts. Lending period can vary from title to title (most are 14 days). The books I've checked out are in Kindle format, which means you need either a Kindle, of one of the the free Kindle reader apps (available for a variety of platforms). Unlike a real book, it does not appear you can return material early in order to check out more material Freegal Music gives you access to millions of songs from over 10,000 labels including the Sony Music catalog of your country (in MP3 format). You are allowed a measly 3 downloads per week. If you are patient enough, you can download entire albums. Another thing I just started looking into is Mango Languages, also available with your library card. Maybe after 10 years of marriage I will finally try to learn some Vietnamese, beyond the most rudimentary of basics that is. As I mentioned in my earlier review, Keller City Library is part of the MetrOPAC system. Other MetrOPAC Libraries, which accept Keller Resident Library cards, are: Fort Worth Public Library Benbrook Public Library Burleson Public Library Haltom City Public Library Richland Hills Public Library Watauga Public Library Oh, and here's a cool tip: If you book is overdue, renew it on-line. If the renew is successful, it's won't be overdue anymore. I'm not sure if this works with DVDs, which carry a stiffer overdue fine. Lastly, this library can be noisy. People just don't seem to know what library etiquette is. Perhaps the expectation of a quiet library is changing. I agree with Tee, if you are looking for a quiet place to study, this may not be the pace for you. The Texas Motor Speedway may be a bit quieter ;-) Nowadays I find bookstores more quiet than libraries, and many even have tables (and coffee shops).

Recommend you check out the website prior to making an appointment or walking in for any forms and information you may need to bring with you.

I read (a lot) and have been pretty active with all the libraries in my communities in the past,…read morebeing on the Friends of the Library Boards, volunteering to assist with community programs through the library and even coming in to just assist with restocking shelves. I even at one point in time made a huge donation to assist with building a children's library at a past library. I love reading and I want it to make sure it is accessible for my community at no cost. When I moved to Hurst, I was excited because it was a larger city then the last city I lived in and I was excited to get involved with a larger library. I visited and got a library card but when I asked if there was any area that they were looking for assistance in, I was told to go check the website with an attitude. I understand that a larger library = a larger staff and resources but I have never had someone from the library be so irritated about someone want to offer to be of assistance. The interaction was such a turn off that I never pursued it further, instead I have found another library in the local area that I consider my "home" library and I have tried to make self of use there. I do still use the library in Hurst - but I try to go in, get what I need and get out without speaking to anyone. The few interactions I have had have been better but no one has had a great attitude that has made me want to spend more time there.

Unfortunately, no one was available to speak with me; however, a phone appointment was scheduled for next Monday at 10 a.m. Woohoo! The lady I spoke with was very accomodating and satisfied every question and concern. She was ultra-professional and didn't seem in any hurry to move on to the next person. This showed me how much she really cared, and that I simply wasn't a number or random student to deal with. This is an open-air campus, which means the buildings aren't connected. Wonder how that would fare during inclement weather. Anyway, please check out this school.

What irked me was that the buildings were not all connected to each other so if you had class in one building and then class in another and it was raining, well good luck getting soaked or whatnot! Also when I was there, there wasn't that many spots of food choices on campus, just a Subway from what I remember. There was no coffee shops on campus from what I also remember, the closest one being that Dunkin across the street that I'm not even sure if it still exists or whatnot. The advisors there too weren't necessarily the brightest either as they had me working my own schedule out and what classes to take.

Not to be disappointed or discouraged, I forged ahead inside, only to be completely delighted! Inside it really did feel like a house with books.

Just charming. The kids section is pure magic! Whomever designed it did it thoughtfully. There's a top shelf that really paints the picture. It has an umbrella with clouds on it, along with crowns and swords. It just makes you want to hang out in this room all day. And this room is filled with stories waiting to be told. Books waiting to be read. Chairs waiting for children to sit in them. Just lovely!
