I also noticed that this library does some wonderful community engagement activities and is conveniently located right off Route 11! It's also been very easy to renew the books I took out online so I could finish them, but that's a plus for the whole Luzerne County system.

I like the programs that the library offers, like the after school meal program for under privlidged kids that they hold 2 days a week. The materials selection is not as big as you would think, considering the massive size of the building, but I can understand, considering that the library had to be rebuilt a few years ago due to a major roof collapse during a bad snow and ice storm. I guess they are trying to rebuild their collection. There is a plenty of parking available in their parking lot, and they also sell coffee, tea, and snacks to help benefit the library. Very nice place to hang out. :-) *Top-notch bathrooms. They are very clean.

It's located right across the river from Wilkes-Barre and easy enough to get in and out of.

The town almost floods every few years and most of the town is built over old coal mines. Watch your step!

It reads: "William Camp Gildersleeve (1795-1871). Prominent merchant and ardent abolitionist significant to the Underground Railroad in Wilkes-Barre. He provided refuge to fugitive slaves at his home and business near here. In 1853, Gildersleeve testified in a US Supreme Court Case, Maxwell vs Righter, in which a fugitive, William Thomas, was shot and wounded by U.S. marshals. The case and his testimony received national attention, especially in African American newspapers." Gildersleeve Street is the one-way street to the right of the fire department.

If you go to King's, choose a major in computer science, nursing, or physician's assistant. Otherwise, you may end up like me. King's admission rate is 77%, and the national average is 65%. According to PrepScholar, "[w]ith a GPA of 3.38, King's College accepts below-average students." I found that to be the case, as most students seemed not to care about the classes or much else for that matter. The career planning office is a joke. They had interviews for used car sales jobs. Need I say more? If you don't major in something that is medically or computer science related, your degree will likely be worth nothing from here. I was doing well in life until I got the King's. I was a loyal student and supported my school. They didn't support me. They ruined my life by giving me a costly degree that had and has no value.

Unlike other locations, it doubles as a college bookstore for Wilkes University and King's College. I'm disappointed by the lack of a film or music section as other Barnes & Noble locations are a great place to find art house DVDs and Blu-rays. This location does host many events, including open-mics and poetry readings. They also stock a number of books by local authors and take an involved role in the community art scene.
