They have tons of kids programs with an amazing staff coordinating the entire thing. My youngest loves the preschool story time and my oldest enjoys the origami and writers workshop.

Cute library. Small, but cozy. And, while they have tons of posters around touting that "Reading…read moreis Fun" and "Libraries are Great" you wouldn't know it from the staff. No greeting--no nod, no smile, no acknowledgment at all. When I did find the book I was looking for I was informed by the male librarian that I was on the wrong side of the desk for checkout. So, I moved over. He sat down, did something with my card, the book and a stamp. Mumbled something about when it was due (I think) and then he left the book lying on the desk in front of him, rather than picking it up and handing it to me. While he was checking me out the two female librarians chatted on the other side of the desk. No eye contact from either woman. I love libraries. I recently moved to the area and could hardly wait to get my library card because libraries can bring people together and help them feel like they fit in until they truly do. Not here. Apparently, at the Portneuf Library, reading is NOT fun and libraries are NOT great.

It's the kind of place you could easily get lost in for hours. What makes it especially interesting are the unique and obscure sections. You'll find everything from Japanese writing and culture to American war documents, along with fascinating historical materials. There were even vintage Pocatello postcards and books featuring famous photographers like Edward Weston. They also host open mic nights, which feels so friendly and community oriented. Honestly we didn't even see a single employee while we were there, but we had a lovely time wandering wherever we wanted and exploring the space. Cozy, a little wild, and completely packed with things to discover. A dream spot for curious readers. Great finds and used books are priced well.

However, when I went to the counter to buy a few of my finds the owner Will seemed to be friendly and we seemed to have a pleasant conversation until it turned slightly political and he suddenly had a profane outburst (calling half the country "Motherf_____s). I don't care what side of the political aisle you maybe on, I think it is inappropriate, unkind, and intolerant language. Also, I think using vulgar name-calling to describe people you might disagree with discourages thoughtful communication. And without thoughtful communication developing love and understanding becomes more difficult. I love and care for many different people with many different varying political views. What someone believes politically does not make them less worthy of love and understanding. I'm unlikely to visit this bookstore again because of the interaction I had.

The idea that some people come to work, not scream and holler, is a foreign concept here. The staff has no problem with all the kids showing up and calling over to the desk, or to each other.

They also have really nice summer program , encouraging younger generation of kids 2-12 to read.Most entertainment options are affordable nowadays and people read much less , than what they used to few decades ago so it is nice to see someone make an effort to encourage young kids to read.The only improvement I could possibly think of to the summer program would be to consider parent's point of view : f.e. if kids ages 2+ are allowed than toys given to them should not be marked "small parts not for kids under age 3 " , also it probably sounds like fun for a kid to play with water and to get wet, but not so much for a parent of wet kids , who has to drive them around. Oh and do not Google their hours in summer library closes much earlier than 8 pm .
