We LOVE our Library! The staff is always so friendly. We've been going since 2011. My kids all grew…read moreup with the library since they were babies. We would go to the children's reading club, did a craft and had a snack afterwards. My children are all older now pre teens & teens, they've joined the summer read programs, available to win prizes. The library staff is always hosting events and or going to events. Always so fun at the library.

I travel around the city a lot, and I often find myself popping into libraries to spend time and…read morelook for resources. The Auburn building is a great library space -- it's a shame it can't be replicated in more areas of the city. The foyer is open and warm, with a statue of the branch's namesake keeping safe watch over the books. I'm always blown away by the amount of light that is filtered into the space through large windows, a feature that makes this library all the more inviting to both adult and child. The layout is wonderful (for a city the size of Auburn), with separate areas for children, (and story time), older children, and teens, with "suggestions" to guide reluctant readers. This branch always seems to have an abundance to documentaries and CDs, as well as a healthy collection of graphic novels. On top of the friendly staff at the front, there is a second resource/help desk in the middle of the library, between the fiction and non-fiction shelves, to help any library or technology newbies. Note: Since the library takes hundreds of pictures, and posts them on line. I will put the link here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/eckhartpubliclibrary/
