The service can be hit or miss, depending on who is working that day. For being such a small location, they do a great job at making sure everything is always in order.

Going to the library and looking up books is fundamental in my opinion. Instant gratification isn't great for these kiddos all the time. This library is close to the new crib and although they are going through some renovations, the bones are still strong. Everyone here is so nice and helpful that it doesn't feel like it's real... but it is I love this place. Having the playground outside is a nice little brain dessert after some good reading

I've never had any issues finding books or using the computer, and often come here to study or do remote work at one of the many available tables with outlets. I know libraries are a public service and there's no financial incentive for the employees to keep this place so well-maintained, but you can tell everyone in the community cares about making this facility a friendly, pleasant space for people to enjoy.

I'm a UM alum so I'm biased - the Richter library has many fond (and less fond) memories for me as…read morea student. The standout here is the Cuban Heritage collection, which is open to the public and has an amazing collection of lots of artifacts from Cuban history. Everything from the original daiquiri recipe to copies of ration cards. The collection also partners with the Freedom Tower. A wonderful resource for the community.

Lots of mixed feelings about this place…read more Plenty of computers and floor space but oddly not enough tables and chairs. The study rooms are like freezers but midday on the second floor is an oven. Plenty of printers but the wifi is spotty. Recently the management changed study room policy greatly limiting the flexibility of group work- resulting in mostly empty rooms as opposed to the constant battle for them. The stacks are quiet but have terrible ambience and even more terrible internet connectivity. It can get a bit creepy at night as desperate study spot vultures circle the shelves behind you. Accidentally taking the elevator down to the M level is also reminiscent of a potential horror movie scenario with its locked cage gates and dimly lit narrow aisles. Nonetheless, the place is open 24/7 during finals and is a reliable place to surround yourself with people doing mildly academic things. You'll at least feel a little less guilty about not studying after sitting here for half the day. Try the music library or the law library for a better library experience. If you're just here to get books, Richter is just as good as any other. At the end of the day, Richter is a University Library which could be a lot worse and has a fair number of amenities, and at least- does it's job passably. More like a 3.5 but I'll round to 4 for effort!

This was one of our usual picks for visiting with the kids years ago, 8-10 years back…read more We now started visiting again and have enjoyed our experiences. They have done some renovations. Library is quite big, with a ground floor and second floor. The kids' area is very spacious and nicely done. You can do arts and crafts upstairs, even when we went and it wasn't during the times that they do it, they provided us the items to do there or take home.

This library is not the newest one of the bunch. It replaces the old library located on Eighth…read moreStreet and 67 Avenue, the old building now housing Allegro Music. The branch moved down a few blocks, not too far from the old one, to a new shopping plaza which caters to the technological needs of modern libraries. This new building may be slightly larger than the previous one, although it feels the same as the old one. The spacing and the lighting inside are far superior here than at the previous site. Even though the collection is small, you can easily navigate through the book shelves without lack of lighting. This building has glass panels to the north, giving the interior plenty of light and almost no heat. Available here you will find many computer stations and a printer. It is not a very big library, but it has all the basic amenities. There are also tables for groups, chairs for individual reading, and a kids corner, and also a clean restroom and a water fountain. The most precious find at this location is the DVD collection. If you are looking for movies, novelas or TV shows in Spanish, here you will find lots of it. It is a very large collection. Next to the DVDs are the books in Spanish, though they are bestsellers and celebrity books. This library has Wi-fi like all the other libraries. Because of the very limited parking space, it is best to use this library to pick up books only, or for a quick web surfing. The patrons are many and after all, availability is limited.

I usually request my books online and pick them up here. We've come for story time on Wednesday at 6:30 and my little one has a lot of fun. The librarian Pablo is usually the one who runs story time. He gives out coloring pages, crayons, markers and has even let my little one choose a book she'd like for him to read! The area for kids has a carpet and 2 bean bag chairs for the kids to relax and enjoy their books.

After COVID, they have new people working there. They even had renovation and it looks like a completely different library. Their decorations are always on theme, so beautiful and creative. And for a itty-bitty library, their calendar is jammed packed with programming for kids, teens and adults. We come for tutoring on Saturdays and for special programs. But this place is always packed with families with their kids having fun during storytime and arts and crafts. They have a small collection of a little bit of every genres for all ages. They also have dvds at no one checks-out anymore which is sad but they also have video games for all consoles. They have computers with internet access. The staff are actually really friendly and really helpful. It's too bad that we will see them call the police because some people can't act right, especially knowing there's children around. Overall, this branch has become our favorite. We come here atleast once a week and are always welcomed by the workers.
