I visited the Jamestown Public Library after I decided that I wanted to begin reading again. I had…read morenot been to a library in years and I was very skeptical about the selection this historic building would have. I was very pleasantly surprised! I stopped by one evening and as soon as I walked in it was like going back in time in the best way possible. This building is absolutely beautiful inside and out. I was helped by the library manager, Jim, and he was very friendly and helpful. He explained that the building was built in 1915 and was originally a school for the area. After being used for years it was almost torn down, but the alumni saved it from destruction and it was turned into a public library. There is a big array of books in all different genres and subjects. I saw some new releases I want to read as well as classics and everything in between. It was great to explore what they had in such a peaceful and beautiful setting. Jim let me know about book clubs they have, children's story times and that they offer e-Books, DVDs, and audiobooks too. He was very helpful and informative. I was able to make my selection and was given my own library card and saw that they still use the nostalgic stamps when you check your books out! I left with my book, my new library card, and a new excitement for reading!

Came here on a Wednesday morning to get out of the house and apply to jobs. I live at the edge of…read moreHigh Point so it was only 12 minutes from my home which is a good location. There are three things that I pay attention to when visiting a library, (1) the WiFi, (2) service to patrons, & (3) sitting space. As far as Jamestown Public Library fares, (1) the WiFi was shoddy. I had to reconnect at least 5x (which didn't take long but still), (2) the receptionist halfway spoke to me when I walked in so the service was "meh." I later saw other librarians who asked if I needed help so that was nice. Lastly, (3) I sat in the corner at a table. The area had ok lighting and there were plugs available for my computer and phone. It's important to not that library is sort of old fashioned so don't expect too much.

The Central Library downtown is wonderful. It has a lot of resources for all kinds of users, from movies to a massive kids area. Especially for kids, this is a great place to visit occasionally.

It's also right next to LaBauer park and the children's center so it makes for a great day out together.

You can use the printers with a library card for 10 free prints a day (they are $0.15 each so up to $1.50/day). I will say just like with any place you need to be aware of your surroundings! There were a couple of times I was making sure I kept an eye out, but luckily there are a lot of people around as well as a security guard that makes his rounds. This made me feel super safe! The restrooms were also relatively clean!

This bookstore is what I'd imagine incredibly old bookstores in London would be like. There are…read morebooks stacked a little precariously everywhere with seemingly no rhyme or reason. The store is so filled with books and stacks upon stacks of books that it is quite cramped. Behind the stacks sits the owner who knows exactly what and where everything is. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and will happily show you to the area that suits what you are looking for. I never would have been able to navigate the store without him. If you are looking for something old and rare, this is definitely the right place to visit. The absolute best part of the store for me was that I was greeted by a sweet big dog upon entering. A voice did ring out from behind the books as soon as I entered alerting me that a big dog was on the way to greet me. I was so excited! I even got to pet him! Naturally, the big sweet boy is named Watson. He was an absolute joy.
