That said, this library is receiving my 5 star rating and Charleston my gratitude for developing this treasure. I'm impressed with the design of the library addition, both beautiful design and interior functionality. The librarians are knowledgeable and always willing to help locate an item or look up a requested rarity. The genealogy section is vast and the kid's area is clean and bright. I've found a great variety of new authors and discovered a few paperbacks that saved my summer. Also, they have a computer station that I was able to use for 2 wks when I finished school and turned off my internet while moving. Overall, if you don't own a library card then you don't know what you are missing for free :)

Although my review is only a 2 in the Yelp world, I still believe a public library (regardless if…read moreit appears to be as antiquated and dated as the Vigo County Public Library) is a vital resource to a community. So my heart wants to give it higher stars, but it is what it is. If you go to libraries in general, as I do, this library is indeed just at best a 2. It is not a bad library, nor did I have a bad experience, it is just kind of an old crappy library. I would describe it as somewhere between nostalgic and antique. I say this based on having visited this library 20+ years ago (there might still be some of the same material floating around), it still has that feeling of a time capsule and times gone by. In a world where people can look at an atlas on line or simply buy the book used on Amazon, maybe libraries are simply loosing their footing in many peoples eyes. I hope this is not the fate of this institution, despite my 2 rating. While stopping in today to simply check it out, this library is indeed being used by people in the community in which it serves. I saw many at the public computers browsing the web, kids in the children area reading books and smiling attendants at the front desk. There was a little art installation set up down one corridor. I parked myself on a bench and read a bit while observing the happenings going on in the lobby of the library. Something about this space seems old, but old like a blanket your grandma had (which is good and bad at the same time....this is how I feel about this library). If you wanted to pop in to read the local paper, while catching some A/C in a welcoming spot & safe place at no cost, you could come here, and I suppose this is at the heart of a public library. This library is basic, needs a freshening up of some sort and serves this local population in a way that only a small time community library can. After writing this review, I think I might be a library snob and only just figured it out.

Cunningham Memorial Library is one of my favorite locations on campus. My first visit was in 1985,…read morea nostalgic imprint that remains with me to this day. There are lots of stacks and study spots, even a cafe in the entryway. I didn't spend nearly enough time here as a student, but I still appreciate this concrete behemoth! The card catalogue is gone but plenty of old school history remains in the stacks and the archives. My visit on this day was for historical research on student organizations and ISU presidential papers. The special collections team were most helpful in identifying relevant holdings and giving me access to review documents related to my topic. Advance notice is needed due to storage location of the archives. Legacy materials are held in a different location on campus, thus staff need time for document retrieval.
