The Wake Forest Branch has been remodeled and they made good use of their limited space with a children's area, teen's area and adult section.

Great. I typically read on Kindle only but really wanted to borrow some books and struck out! Very clean library but honestly even after the multi million dollar remodel, this location is still very small and not very well stocked.

I stumbled on this while looking for things to do in the area while attending a book signing. Being a book lover and author, this was an obvious choice. My friend and I explored the first two floors (we were pressed for time) and were in awe. I wish Charleston had something like this because I would be here every single day working on my next manuscript. There were several rooms, desks, and seating areas for readers and students alike to choose from. The large windows allow for plenty of natural light that offsets the bright interior lights. They have a wide collection of titles and studies! Highly recommend that you check it out. Just remember to be quiet and respectful as students may be present working on their projects.

On the other hand, my son complained about the slow public wi-fi, which is a pretty big negative when you're studying using your laptop. He said it took 10 minutes just to get connected to the wi-fi. But for that, this seems like a nice spot to study if you've got a personal hotspot (or access otherwise to faster Internet). Hopefully, there is faster wi-fi for NC State students.

One of the rooms that I was in reeked of someone's perfume. Staff is okay. I don't quite understand how the books are arranged because some of the aisles seemed to have several random books that didn't fit the category of the aisle. Limited selection of books as well, but they do have some decent books. Public parking lot has a fair amount of parking. They close early on Wednesdays and Fridays during the weekdays, and open much later than usual on Fridays and Sundays.

My little one is a total bookworm these days, so I decided to reserve some books and do the pickup during COVID-19. Overall it was a good and easy experience. Once the books were ready I was able to schedule a pickup time, and went into the lobby to pickup my books. There was one other person in there, so I waited outside until they were finished up. I was able to go inside with my mask on and let the staff at the table know my name from 10+ feet away! My books were labeled with my name and ready to go on a table right in the lobby. They seem to have a good system in place! The only thing that could have been better was the security guard next to the staff member pulled his mask down under his nose to talk to me, I don't even know if he realized he did it. He was pretty far away from me though, so it didn't really worry me. Based on the books I selected for my son the staff included a little activity packet! I thought that was super sweet and loved the special activities! I also frequently use the electronic book services for my kindle. We will be ready and looking forward to story time and other activities when it is safe to do so!

The librarians and staff are helpful and friendly if you need anything. I usually request books/items on the DCo Library App, which allows you to request anything within the Durham County Library system and have it shipped to your preferred library for checkout. There are no fees for late returns, which I think makes checking out books stress free and more accessible. I also enjoy that I can walk to the library when the weather is nice!
