It is in a nice new building that is shared with Albemarle County. There are county ESOL offices upstairs and the county warehouse downstairs. Northside has a vast selection of books and other materials. You can do everything from check out a book to check out an internet hotspot for school work. Have kids and want to go to the Virginia Discovery Museum? You can pick up free passes here. The same is true for Va State Parks. The State Park kit includes a backpack with educational activities for kids. Interested in sewing or embroidery? Northside has maker kits that can be checked out as well. One of the services that I use are their meeting rooms. You can check out meeting spaces for 2 hours at a time. They are enclosed spaces with up to 4 people. It has an exterior monitor for presentations with multiple inputs. Don't want to come inside, no worries... they have drive up window to pick up and drop off books. Don't want to do that either? They have a great digital library where you don't have to leave your couch. If you want it, Northside has it!

I came to this library after a day spent coworking with a colleague. We had already worked most of the day from a coffee shop and were ready to say our goodbyes. I still needed to get some work done for the day before heading home to Richmond when I found this library on Yelp. I love all the seating options and different rooms in this library. I found a quiet corner with a great desk near an outlet to finish up work for the day. The wifi was strong and I enjoyed all the natural lighting. Although I didn't browse the books, it seemed like they had a lot of variety. I enjoyed taking a peek at their new releases/recommended books at the front. It's a great library to pass some time at.

The love of reading is such a great gift and they really try to make this a place that children can explore, ask questions, and create. Adults should know to be respectful of noise levels. People who have complained should have asked those around them to tone it down. It's always been quiet in the adult areas when I have been there.

The staff is very fast with pulling your reserved books and it makes checking out a breeze.

They have film, books with indexed information, a large area is dedicated to genealogy and history. This was a very helpful visit and great experience. If you have time because you'll need it and your family comes from Virginia this is a good place to find information. The staff is friendly and helpful giving you pointers, they can lead you to locating information. I was able to find a document from the early 1800s regarding the marriage of my ancestors, it was amazing. This Library offers more than just books for you to view it offers a window into history, life and Virginia the good and the bad.

The staff is always friendly and efficient. Parking is usually ample. It's clean and well maintained. So, why 3 stars? They apparently haven't caught on to the idea that libraries are a place of quiet study. Right now there is a child roaring loudly and unchecked. Two ladies were standing next to me talking like they were in a stadium (maybe to be heard over all the kids). There is another mom standing behind me cooing loudly to her baby. There are kids running and playing some sort of hide and seek game screaming, "I can see you!" Happy, enthusiastic kids are fabulous- just not in a library. If you want to get some books or movies and be in and out, it's great. If you want to bring your kids for an activity, great again. If you want to do something that requires quiet and concentration, pick another spot. There is no attempt to modulate tone at all. That's just the culture of the place.

They have a bookstore as well as a clearance section near the entrance., these books have been marked down to $1. As you can tell I'm a regular. What can I say, it's a multiple purpose library! Don't tell anyone but normally I bring lunch here and eat outside lol don't judge me! #Nerd life!

It's an excellent place to study, especially compared to the UVa. libraries or the libraries closer to or in Cville. The library is rarely crowded. Parking in the lot and on the street is ample.

Oh, and you have to drive to get here, if you're in Cville. (Maybe that's a good thing for those of us who do drive out to Crozet.)
