I have been at the new library several times now, and each experience has been great. Admittedly I…read morehave not been there for the books but for the environment. I currently telecommute for work but working at home can be a little isolating. So I go to the library to work in a quiet environment that allows me to focus yet is open and bright(lots of windows). The furniture is comfortable, there is free WiFi, the librarians are pleasant and helpful, and as a town resident I can reserve a meeting room for times that I need to talk on the phone with my co-workers. I know that this is not the traditional use of the library but since we pay taxes to support it, as long as I don't disturb anyone else in the process, I feel perfectly good about it. I wrote my dissertation in a public library years ago and came to appreciate them not only for this sort of thing but as a continuing center of the community. They are a hive of activity that we should maintain. And for me, when I take breaks from work, I enjoy the magazines and books available to me. Support your local library!

I spent about two hours here this afternoon at this beautiful, modern library, and it made a strong…read morefirst impression. The building is open and bright, with plenty of seating spread throughout the space and I had no trouble finding a table with power nearby so that I could settle in and send a few emails. It's the kind of place where you can get a lot done without feeling crowded and the overall atmosphere is calm in a way that makes focusing pretty easy. The only real bummer is the study room policy. They only allow library card holders (i.e., residents) to use them, which meant that I had to leave before my Zoom meeting so that I wasn't disturbing other patrons. I would have stayed longer otherwise, because everything else about the visit was great. Even with that limitation, it's a well-designed and welcoming library, and worth a stop if you're in the Dayton area. [Review 964 of 2026 - 340 in Ohio - 26143 overall]

I typically love the Miamisburg library. The library itself is always clean, well-maintained, and…read morestocked with books. The thing I don't like is they rarely offer programs for older teens at the Miamisburg branch. I'd love to see a poll out for our Miamisburg community each season to see what works around school and sports. I also find that a lot of the cool library programs are ran at libraries in the north vs anywhere close to home. It seems like the library staff doesn't really want to host events for families in their area.

The DML Miamisburg Branch is a quiet little library somewhat off the beaten path. When you walk in,…read moreyou'll notice the vaulted ceiling surrounding the middle of the library with lots of windows allowing plenty of natural light. Group spaces include two quads with space for up to 4 people, two group rooms for up to 8 people, one conference room for up to 10 people and a community room for up to 45 people. They also have a quiet reading room with two 4-person tables and several reading chairs. My first time visiting I had trouble finding where to park, as there is not a lot attached to the building. The Miamisburg Board of Education building is directly north of the library and has some parking on its' south end, but I wasn't sure if library patrons were allowed to park there. I drove around the block and ended up parking in a street spot on 6th St. Once inside, I learned the lot used for the library is actually across 6th St, just northeast of the library. Although, signs for this would have been helpful. Overall though, another great DML branch!

I love my community library! I have attended a number of events here and they are always so…read moreinformative. My one complaint is that the events are so popular that you have to watch the website and sign up immediately when something comes up that you are interested in. There is a food box outside the library. Inside, snacks are always available for the young ones. I use the website to request books that aren't available in house and the process is smooth. The checkout and book return is up-to-date and easy to use. The library staff is helpful and friendly. I love the large magazine section. A lot of libraries I have been to in the past have stopped having magazines available. I'm old school and love to hold and read a magazine. There is ample comfortable seating.

I have a long history with Dayton, since my cousins lived there when I was a kid. Been going to…read morethe USAF museum since the first big buildings opened, and have watched the expansions every decade or so. But there is a lot more to Dayton. Yes, Wright-Patt is central to the city, but Delco, NCR, the universities, and more add to the culture and economy. There's a decent food scene. I discover more hidden gems on every trip. There are several good breweries. The city has had some down times, but is coming back strong. The base helps, and other draws like the amazing Art Institute, Carillon Park, the Packard Museum (in an old dealership) and more. Some pretty impressive parks and trails that I have just barely begun to explore. Not far from Cinci and Columbus, and Miami in Oxford, Dayton is worth the hour or so drive. Spend a day, have some fun, eat something good.

Being a local tourist extends out to one of my favorite destinations, Dayton. Yeah folks, I really…read morejust said Dayton. Now before your brain goes "Air Force Museum, strip clubs and meh food" there are some things I want to share with you about this interesting city. First of all, they have a great craft beer scene here. I can tell you that their brew scene is easily equal to anything that Columbus and Cincinnati is offering up these days. I'm working my way through my bucket list with Carillon Brewing, Toxic Brew, Warped Wing, Eudora Brewing Co. and Dayton Brewing Company all coming to mind. If beer isn't your thing, then I'd recommend The Belle of Dayton Distillery. They make their own rum and vodka and it's a great place to settle in, have a drink and enjoy the local cool spot called The Oregon District. The Oregon District, by the way, is a great urban downtown neighborhood. It's bohemian, trendy, gritty, cosmopolitan and it's a great place to have lunch, dinner and cocktails. It's one of the prime areas to get out of your car and explore all the little shops and boutiques that inhabit the area. Look up some of the reviews and I bet you'll be ready to head over and explore one of the cool spots of this Midwestern city. Now how can we talk about Dayton and not mention Wegerzyn Gardens and The Cox Arboretum? Both are wonderful green spaces that are true gems in this city. For those folks that prefer to get into nature while pedaling over and around, check out the Miami Valley River Trail. With 330 miles of bike trails, it's the largest system in the US. If you're not so much into nature, of course the National Museum Of The United States Air Force is world renowned and visited by people from all over the world. I'm sure some of them also find their way to The Dayton Art Institute, Carillon Historical Park, America's Packard Museum and one of the favorites for the folks with kids and grandkids: The Boonshoft Museum of Discovery. And lastly, for the foodies: Check out Dorothy Lane Markets. There's 3 of them and all are worthy of a visit although the Washington Square location on Far Hills is my favorite by far. Just go there and be impressed. So there you have it. Dayton. I'm having a great time exploring the area and I hope you do too. A solid 4 stars.
