    Chesapeake Public Library - Quilts celebrating Black History Month

    Before heading to a brewery for a Yelp event, I headed here after work for some much needed quality…read moretime. That is reading of course. Turns out this was not my first time here. The last was over 10 years ago when I was with friends for a local convention. Things have definitely not changed here at all. Let's see how the afternoon turned out. Upon walking in, I noticed quilts on display via the African American Sewical Threaders Guild. They're done as part of Black History Month. They were fantastic and well made. I didn't get the chance to see all of them, but activities like this are very important to the community. They deserve a huge applause for this all around. For reading time, I headed upstairs where they had more tables if you wanted to do homework, use your laptop for assignments, or like myself, enjoying a mostly quiet environment in front of a book. Foot traffic was at a minimum the entire time I was present and it was mostly quiet. Could not ask for more. The next time I'm in the area, hopefully I'll stop by again. Truly a calm place to relax. Till next time :)

    Still pretty good. I enjoy some of the events they have…read morehere. Some of the staff could be nicer, to be honest. I like it when they have air conditioning. I'm pretty sure there are some people who actually live here, and that's not cool, in my opinion. Most of the time, there are some folks that think it's a good idea to show up and be as LOUD as they can and encourage their children to do the same. I'm here to tell them, it's not "iconoclastic" or "anti-authority" to do that.. it's just annoying and disrespectful. You're not breaking a "boomer tradition", you're just making yourselves seem even more unnecessary. Just saying. Aside from that, the place itself is good. Lots of walking space and plenty to read. Just be careful when requesting items, they claim to not carry CD's anymore, even though they do. And they'll refuse to get some items because of "low demand", which directly contradicts the person requesting it. I swear, I don't know what it is about the people that work at some of these places, but they're not helping the librarian stereotype. I still like this one though, overall.
