    I visited the Calvert Library with my wife and our two granddaughters for story time, and we had…read moresuch a great experience. The staff are warm and welcoming -- they start by going around the room to meet everyone, then teach a few simple sign language signs before turning them into a fun song. After that, there's another song, and the leader talks about the months, weeks, days, the weather outside, and what season it is. Then they read a book or two and finish with a fun activity for the kids. I may have missed 1-2 things in there It's really well organized and enjoyable -- a wonderful place for families and little ones to learn and have fun together. The girls 2-3 really had a great time, afterwards we go out to the play area and they play with some off the other children that stay after. Excellent

    This is like my 3rd visit. Yes, I am a part- time reseller. I was just told that resellers are…read morebasically not welcomed here. There is a 25 item limit. This is fine but what if I wanted to purchase more than 15 items. I don't see a rush to purchase these used books. I am a reader too but I have very little time to read. I have a very busy schedule. The life of a reseller is busy. I was approached by a worker who had apparently already counted my books that I had set off to the side. She said, "you have almost reached your limit". Money is money. I mean technically speaking i could go back in and get 25 more if I wanted to be petty. You can't even make an honest living these days. I'll stick to my home library. Charles County. There is no limit. Smh.

    We absolutely love the James City County library. It's a first class library that's personable and…read morecomfortable. In addition to books, they have lots and lots of DVDs, and a children's section, which includes an area to play. The children's section has its own glass door so the kiddos can enjoy themselves without the noise traveling to the other parts of the library. I love how the library staff arrange books they recommend and new titles so you can easily find them. They also have a terrific borrowing program with other libraries. Plus, if they cannot obtain a title for you, then,au often purchase it to add to their collection. When you enter the building foyer, there often are seeds and plant clippings to take at no charge. It's a great way to share plants! Another good aspect of the library is that it's open every day! Parking is plentiful.

    I have lived here 8 years and never visited this library. My loss. I recently got a library card…read moreand I am glad I did. I use the Libby app mostly to get audio books. We have a good selection to choose from. The library itself is very nice. The huge kids section is perfect for your little ones and is closed off from the rest of the library via large glass wall and doors. This is great for keeping the happy kid noises down. I was very supervised at the huge DVD and music section in this library. Too bad I no longer have a means to play them at home. The history section is quite large as one might expect in this historical town. The display sections for new and promoted books are very nicely managed. There are plenty of comfy spots to sit and read too. WRL has a lot to offer for everyone. Even my picky, science fiction, nerdy self.
