Adventuring to the Edmonds Library today, Saturday 16 November 2024, I was on the lookout for a…read moremovie to add to my watchlist and a book to read. I have looked through the shelves at my local libraries in the King County Library System a number of times, so coming here I was interested to see if I could find something different. As I do not have a Sno-Isle library card I could not check anything out, however I could look and sit and read in library. I utilized street parking for my visit, though there is a parking lot shared with the Anderson Center to the east of the main entrance. Shelving in the library was short stacks with items low/close to the ground. Books were broken into youth and adult sections. There were computer work stations as well as a larger classroom-like work space and a few small study rooms. In the movies section I spotted a 2019 PBS documentary on weasels, a good one as my family and I had a family of long tailed weasels (mustela frenata) in the vicinity of our house a few times over the past years, they are a native species in the area. Perhaps most varied from the libraries I frequent in terms of what I looked over today was the biography section (adult books section). Limiting myself to one that captured my attention, I selected a 2017 book "Being Elvis: A Lonely Life" by Ray Connolly. I had not seen that one before on the shelves in my library system. I put both the movie and book on hold. Exploring the in library sitting/reading options, I found a big comfy/soft chair with a movable table by a recycling area. It was nice that the table beside the table was small and could be moved to make using it more comfortable. Lighting throughout the library was a bit variable, might have been in part due to the tall ceilings.

Richmond Beach Library has been my home library in the King County Library System (KCLS) for over…read more20 years, even before it was moved to its current location. This library was one of my home away from homes growing up and I could easily get lost in finding a good book, audio book, movie, comic, or encyclopedia. If the selection at the library didn't have what you were looking for you could put the item on hold (so long as you had a library card) and the holds system worked well. In all my years going here only one instance comes to mind where there was a mix up in the hold items and it was easily remedied. There is computer access for looking up items in the library itself as well as KCLS at large. I loved this library so much I volunteered here as a teenager, only furthering my love for the place. Happy it is still my home library!

The non-fiction area was clearly labeled as was its shelving by topic. There was breadth and depth in offerings for the topic I was searching for. I opted for a book with a Middle East region focus and made my way to check out. The check out kiosk operated in a manner consistent with procedures I have encountered at other Sno-Isle Libraries.

Approximate run times for the titles I checked were not covered by library barcodes. As run time did factor in in to my selection today, I appreciated the run times were not covered.
