Of course there is no such thing as a BAD library, but I find the Smithfield Library particularly…read morepleasant. In addition to the books, its decor is attractive and its atmosphere cheerful and welcoming. Works by local artisans is prominently displayed, and the interior is well lit - my husband, who is visually, had no trouble navigating. In fact, if you're disabled and use a wheelchair, you'll find it delightfully accessible and very easy to navigate. The aisles are wide and there's an elevator to the upper floors. The selection of books is OUTSTANDING. Every genre is welI stocked, and I really, really appreciated the great selection of fantasy/sci-fi books. I'm an older reader who well remembers the era when public libraries paid little attention to this type of lit and reading fans had to buy their own books. ALL types of fiction are generously stocked, the biography section is outstanding and I found so many great books on sewing and crafts that were so informative I ordered my own copies of some of them. There's ample seating if you want to spend time reading onsite, and the staff is very welcoming and helpful. This library is a local reader's delight.

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.

Of course there is a large book selection with tables and chairs to sit in and settle down.

It has a mural, including the Marquis de Lafayette for whom the city was named, and the interior has a few historical exhibitions. Not a full on museum, but some interesting things to ponder.

There was a security guard at front, which is kind of expected for downtown Fayetteville, but everything seemed quiet when I was there.
