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.

Requested Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and there are two people in queue already and the library employee informed me "it'll be a long wait since we aren't charging fines right now." 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.

Not only is it beautifully designed with plenty of areas to read and work, but it also offers services such as 3D printing, streaming movie services, and the NC Collection, a fantastic resource for anyone looking into their ancestry. Two things I want to highlight: 1) the seed library (free seeds!) and 2) events. The library (not just this one but all of the libraries) has fantastic events for adults as well as kids. For example, I went to a meeting of the Nicholas Cage movie club, and it was so fun. They also offer lectures on a wide range of interesting topics (the paranormal, ham radios, etc.) as well as practical classes (computer classes for seniors and Spanish classes). I could go on and on-- the library is a fantastic resource in our community that has something for everyone.

I really love the drive-thru book drop off. I usually swing by before I bring my son to school and it's very convenient that we all don't have to get out of the car to return the books. I also love the self checkout stations inside the library. They are pretty magical, especially if you are checking out a ton of books. The children's section is great! It's set up in a way that is very clear and easy to follow depending on what age group you are looking for. I loved the candy land inspired interactive game they had setup in December. My son had so much fun checking it out. I especially loved that it was open if the library was open, you didn't have to go in at a specific time. I also love their Lucky Day section at the front of the library. You might get lucky and score a book that would otherwise have a super long waitlist. Such a neat concept! In general Wake County's online library system is awesome. It's so easy to reserve books and e-books as well. At North to pick up your books just head straight in towards the back by the main checkout desk. You can easily find what you need in alphabetical order there. I used the word love a lot of times in this review, but I really do truly love our Wake County library system. It's the best!!

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.

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!
