Hands down, this library has to be my favorite of all the libraries I've been to!!! The selection…read moreand options are endless! There's 3 floors including an underground level for children. The underground level has trees planted and it gives the area such a refreshing look and smell. I admire that there is a help section for jobseekers. There's rooms for meetings, there studios for people to work and there's a theater room?! The opportunity this library provides for people to advance in your careers and or businesses is amazing! This library is so cool and I'm in shock of how great it looks as well as what it offers!

This is the first library I've been too since moving to the area. The ladies at the first desk were…read morewelcoming and one helped me get a card. The story time gets crowded during the week but still a good time. It's pretty small. Took some time finding AA authors as there is no longer a section dedicated to those books. I get the reasoning but would love them in one area as the community is smaller compared to others.

I have loved libraries since I was a child. Therefore, I frequent them. The Sandhills location has…read morebeen the one I frequent the most because it's close to my neighborhood. HOWEVER, I was bitten almost a dozen times recently because they have bedbugs. The staff at front desk treated the issue quite nonchalantly when I told them. This is completely unacceptable. It's been a HORRIBLE experience.

What a great library! They have such a great selection of books, but their excellence spans far…read morebeyond their collection of literature. They have great study rooms, desktop computers to use, a fax machine, printer, copier, etc. It also appears to have a great section for children, as well as an easy and convenient drive-thru way to return your books. Finally, the staff has never shown anything other than the utmost level of kindness and helpfulness. All-in-all, this is a great library that Forest Acres is lucky to have!

I loved going to this library! It's conveniently located in Forest Acres and is small and quaint…read more The location offers computers and study rooms. Additionally, there are tables where you can sit to read or work on your laptop. I found that if you needed a study room, you could secure one if you arrived early enough. I believe that there is a 2-hour time limit, but you can extend if no one else is waiting for me. The staff at this location is super friendly and helpful. I never needed any assistance, but I have seen them help individuals print or use computers. Another great perk of the Richland Library System is the free printing; if you have a library card, you can print up to a certain amount of pages per day. This printing perk comes in handy if you need to print something. There are also scanners if you need to scan anything. All in all, this small library is the perfect place to come and read a great book, study for an exam, or work on the computer.

I feel like a broken record every time I visit a Richland Library branch... but the Southeast…read morelocation is yet another amazing rendition of the Richland Library. Like the other branches that I've visited, the inside is bright, colorful, and inviting, and has a wide array of computers, printers, copiers, and other electronics for guests to use. This location also has a children's arts and crafts section, which I would've loved when I was a kid. However, what stood out about this particular branch was the quality in which the books were curated and displayed. I loved walking through the aisles and checking out the different categories and genres, as well as the New York Times bestsellers and Pulitzer Prize-winning books. Although I had placed a hold, I walked away with two (2) other books that I thought would be interesting, owing to the effort that the librarians exerted in crafting the displays of books. All-in-all, this is yet another fantastic branch of the Richland Library system, and I loved my trip here!

I don't know how much librarians get paid. And the only reason they get these 2 stars\n It's…read morebecause of the security staff that seems to help better. Than the staff that are employed to work at the library. It seems like they get so engrossed in Doing other things like searching on the computer or reading above whatever's on their mind, it aint on really helping people, I have a head injury, okay, and I take medication. And I also have personal letters to deal with when I go in there, I need their help. I don't care if I ask for help, 20 times while I'm in there, isn't it? Their job to do just that? Why do people get jobs working with the public? And they don't have the willingness to help you, they seem to be glued to their seat. Now, I'm not talking about all the stuff, but I'm talking about most of them, you have about 3 people there that have the willingness to get app and help you, they act like they don't want to be disturbed. And then they rotate Around, and when it's time to go to the main desk, if you're sitting at a certain computer, you can't see them up there because they're salt done, they're trying to hide away from the company from the people seeing that they don't have to help you, this is more than ridiculous, get off your dairy air and help people that need the help. If I need the help, then I wouldn't ask you for the help, this is totally ridiculous and it needs to be some type of System implement it, like maybe they need to put some lights and where you don't have to constantly get app, you can press the light, it'll light app saying you need help and then it could monitor them how many times people push the button for help and see who's gonna help you and who's not this is totally ridiculous. I've become so frustrated. I have an anxiety condition that you know, I have to break and get out and go to my car and then come back in and try to finish up it really needs to be something done about this. Even the manager of the library, he isn't so helpful. He gets frustrated insulin that sets me off with my frustration. You're there to do a job, do it? I'\nM not talking about all of the staff being bad as I've mentioned before, but most of them, they become attached to their chair are they just sit there and look at you?Well , maybe it's this , maybe it's that no , maybe perhaps if you get up and come see what i'm talking about , you can give me the assistance that I need , it would be great appreciated
