A small but self-sufficient library suitable for book readers of all ages. Staff are courteous, helpful and quick. Creating a library card, placing a hold on a book and lending it on my own - All of these were pretty quick and easy. I was in and out of the library in 15 minutes. Their website is user-friendly and easy to search for books. Lastly, there are plenty of parking spots available with curbside pickup options. The only reason I couldn't give it a 5 star rating - Library was too noisy to sit & read. read more

Kelly Anderson was the very helpful when I can in to get some documents printed. He walked me through the print process and is the GOAT of librarians. read more

Very nice, clean bright space for reading, studying, writing and browsing books. Their friendly staff is positioned at desks right at the front entrance. They are literally ready and waiting. It's a smaller library and very updated. Little Elm library also has afternoon and evening events including family crafts and movies. Monday through Thursday the library is open until 8pm which is super convenient for just about any schedule. And this location is also open on Sundays from 10am-3pm. I like it. read more

+ 1 star. The facility is newer. + 2 star. The last time I checked, if you have a late book they will waive the fee incurred when you return the book. This is a much kinder policy than the 4 other libraries I am a member of. -1 Star. Kids section is too small which in itself is not bad if you have the shelves loaded with treasures. Unfortunately, all the shelves are filled embarrassingly with garbage reading material (twaddle) vs good literature or high quality illustrated books. My home library exceeds what my tax dollars have paid for at the government library. Maybe they have to follow some sort of state list of books that are agenda-pushing, PC, profane, non-intelligible? -2 star. Rude service. Books are great, book lovers are usually great. We share a common interest as bibliophiles. But the staff here is always annoyed at your presence, seems to have a disdain for children, and does not understand that service is part of the job. I understand this is a low-budget library (which is another issue. Shame on you Town of Little Elm. We need readers to grow leaders!) but underpaid and undersupported staff act less like passionate inspirers of literacy and more like McDonald's employees who hate their life and anyone who interrupts them. -3 star. Study space is lacking. Whether the design of the building is at fault or just the atmosphere here, it is not a great place to plug-in and get some work done. When I had a situation where I had to work outside of my home, I had to drive all the way to Lewisville library just to get some work done because Little Elm did not provide that. My situation was temporary but what about young students who may not have a quiet place at home to work? They may not have proper internet or study space? The town library is supposed to be a haven where all can come and learn, grow and participate in worthy work. It is a place to be inspired, to be fed by ideas. It cannot be lifeless and dead. It cannot be unhospitable. Otherwise all those tax dollars, all those bricks, all those employees are absolutely worthless. Wasted. It is no "amenity". "For lack of knowledge the people perish." We can do better, Little Elm! read more

Small library but just enough for my two year old. We only go once a week for the story time for toddlers but we always make sure to borrow some books. Good selection on toddler books. The staff who reads the books for story time is very friendly and remembered my daughter when we went for our second reading time. The place is clean and seems the building may have been renovated. I haven't borrowed books at the library since I was in high school, but they have this cool computer that let's you borrow and return books without ever speaking to any staff. Not sure about all the bad reviews although there was one library staff that wasn't quite as friendly as the others. It's located right next to the police station so even if we happen to go there in the evening, I'd feel safe. read more

This is a nice library space, it is however a bit loud for any actual study, research or reading

This has got to be the loudest library in Texas. It doesn't matter when you come either. They do a lot of kiddie stuff and are not considerate enough of the other patrons to even close the door. Forget about actually working or studying here. Even if they aren't doing kid stuff, they still do not ask other disruptive patrons to be quiet. There always seems to be a problem with the printer, the internet, or the wifi at any given time. LE is too arrogant and did not go into partnership with Frisco ( a MUCH better library), so if you want to use the Frisco library you have to pay 50.00/year. Guess I'm going to have to do it though to get any work done. read more

Not impressed at all. Refused to give my daughter a library card saying she was too young, after some discussion they finally let her. Addressed it with them after the fact and they said it wasn't their policy to refuse. So someone had some really poor training. The story times are not age relevant. The younger kids get left behind. Stories are geared more towards four-five year olds than toddlers even though it's for that age. Small selections for kids, although my daughter would rather play with the chairs and computer. Would rather drive to Frisco or Mckinney library than waste time here. read more

Really nice and helpful staff. It is easy to renew online. Great small library. You can request books from other library's.

The people there are so rude when you ask them a question. I just needed to renew and you jumped down my throat because you actually had to do your job. Sorry. read more
