Inside has plenty of areas to sit, but none of the seating (in my opinion) is cozy/makes you want to stay a long time and read. They do have PLENTY of events for peoples of all ages!

I have been a friend of the library for many years. as a retired widow, I love reading and always…read moreenjoyed the staff friendliness. Recently I went to check our books only to be told I had damaged a book. I could hardly speak as I would never damage a book. At the desk I was told I had been charged, convicted and charged (yes I had to pay $50). I left in tears. a week later I turned in my card because as a senior on a fixed income I can't afford to have this happen again.

We went to the children's section and it is four times as large as when I was a kid in the 90s. My…read morefive- and three-year-old alternated between playing with the toys and reading books. We read a book about mom's deploying for military service, about a bear that becomes a goose mom, and lots more. The librarians were cranky. Maybe it was my fault, but I was surprised that the children's section librarians were not radiating joy and patience. I love visiting this library and it's kid programming when we are back in town.

What a fantastic library!!…read more First of all, its HUGE!! FREE Unlimited WiFi in the library with your library card. OUTER FOYER Large area just inside with lots of tables n chairs. Here people can talk, eat n drink, relax before entering the "library proper." INNER FOYER Has a bks for sale wall, the information/ help desk, ck out area, and just past that- new books. CHILDREN's ROOM A separate room The childrens section is like a huge museum/ playspace with so much! Rows of board books, up to young readers materials. A space for exploration including a mini puppet stage; a kitchen w small baskets n plastic pots, cups, food; Large blocks w manipulatives for fine motor development. SENIOR SECTION Area w large print books, comfy rocking chairs w footstools, and a couple tables w chairs. COMPUTER AREA YOUNG READERS AREA HELP DESK n CHECK OUT Great! Love that there is a counter to stand at, a lower counter to sit at (perhaps for if your need will take more time, or for elderly or pregnant patrons) Self Check Out Stations ***Problems w the library to be remedied: 1) The senior section needs to the first area inside the front doors. Its too far to walk for many elderly. 2) The breastfeeding room is a clausterphobic's nightmare! Small, windowless, and the chair in there is hard n uncomfortable. I'd rather just breastfeed on the floor in the play area, or in the senior section where the chairs r comfy.

I tried to add a separate Yelp listing for the Polley Music Library. It is housed within Lincoln's…read moremain public library. It's a special music-specific selection of media and programs. Fortunately, your Lincoln library card will allow you to enjoy all this (unfortunately, for me, I live in Omaha and we don't have a music library). We visited here to see a lecture/performance by the iconic free improvisation saxophonist Jack Wright. I was really impressed with the programs being offered here. Scott is really helpful and it's obvious that he really cares about all things music. This was my first visit here, I will definitely be back.

My step daughter also had private tutoring lessons in their quiet rooms.
