Jamestown Public Library - Stamped book

Jamestown Public Library

I visited the Jamestown Public Library after I decided that I wanted to begin reading again. I had…read morenot been to a library in years and I was very skeptical about the selection this historic building would have. I was very pleasantly surprised! I stopped by one evening and as soon as I walked in it was like going back in time in the best way possible. This building is absolutely beautiful inside and out. I was helped by the library manager, Jim, and he was very friendly and helpful. He explained that the building was built in 1915 and was originally a school for the area. After being used for years it was almost torn down, but the alumni saved it from destruction and it was turned into a public library. There is a big array of books in all different genres and subjects. I saw some new releases I want to read as well as classics and everything in between. It was great to explore what they had in such a peaceful and beautiful setting. Jim let me know about book clubs they have, children's story times and that they offer e-Books, DVDs, and audiobooks too. He was very helpful and informative. I was able to make my selection and was given my own library card and saw that they still use the nostalgic stamps when you check your books out! I left with my book, my new library card, and a new excitement for reading!

Came here on a Wednesday morning to get out of the house and apply to jobs. I live at the edge of…read moreHigh Point so it was only 12 minutes from my home which is a good location. There are three things that I pay attention to when visiting a library, (1) the WiFi, (2) service to patrons, & (3) sitting space. As far as Jamestown Public Library fares, (1) the WiFi was shoddy. I had to reconnect at least 5x (which didn't take long but still), (2) the receptionist halfway spoke to me when I walked in so the service was "meh." I later saw other librarians who asked if I needed help so that was nice. Lastly, (3) I sat in the corner at a table. The area had ok lighting and there were plugs available for my computer and phone. It's important to not that library is sort of old fashioned so don't expect too much.

Clown show I will never recommend such a horrible school ,mean staff members who clearly have…read morehideous attitudes ,like I did something to them its like they hire anyone from the streets to work at that school and I'm always at fault when sometimes I did nothing wrong i feel its not fair, I feel its impossible to graduate because they're not there to help me succeed but to purposely pull me down when they find a reason not to like me wouldn't ever want to go back

My experience attempting to attend school here was largely mixed. Applying and getting in was not…read moretoo bad. Bear in mind im not a college age person. Im 36 and have an established family and life. I was attending to get a certificate. Upon getting accepted, it was time to get books a week or so before school started. This is where my beef with the school comes in. There are a lot of bureaucratic rules and regulations with going from station to station getting books and particularly with just trying to get information. I am not sure how GTCC hires staff, there is a certain perception that they may use temp staff. Alot, (not all) were very apathetic and uncaring about anything they were helping with. There is alot of conflicting, contradictory info given. It was a joke after a very short time. One lady working in the cashiers area was incredibly rude to my wife, who was simply asking questions we had. There was absolutely no excuse for that. The point being, if you have never been to this school, be prepared to talk to people that do not care one bit about customer service, being nice and respectful, or attempting to take pride in the job they were doing. It was very frustrating. I decided not to pursue this certificate for other reasons. This was negative experience was definitely a factor in the decision. Be warned.

We were looking to get a library card to check out books and use the online services that most…read morelibraries offer, such as music and movies. For some reason even though this branch has been around since dirt was invented it was not on Yelp. We walked in and talked to the librarians who, when we told them we wanted to get library cards, perked up and were very excited. It was nothing to get the cards, we showed our IDs selected an online PIN, and gave an email address. We got the cards and walked around to see a few authors that I had read in the past and wanted to see about getting into them again as well as a lot of DVDs to check out if you wanted. There was a kids section as well for those who have young ones and a few computers and printers. When we were wandering I saw this box with the author that I was interested in reading his books again and it said (his name and $5.00). I called to the libarian and she said that patrions will donate books for sale. I asked, where are the books?" and she said that box, so I said oh they are $5.00 each and she said no, the whole box....what the what...!!!! I bought the box of course and it had 10 hardback books in great condition and only two I had read....bargain...! Who knew you could find things like this at a library. Anyway I am in process of setting up my online accounts so I get the music and other items offered for free.

I had the opportunity to visit this location today because I wanted to vote during the early voting…read moreseason. To my surprise they were not very busy and I was able to go inside and vote in only about twenty minutes. I liked the ease of this experience and will come back again to browse the items that are avaible here on a daily basis.
