We were going to go on a walk, but it was too cold and windy. We came here on a whim and discovered they had a great kids section upstairs. Granted, this is a small, older library, but they had 2 computers for my kids to play on, a toy room for my youngest and some "I Spy" sheets for them to do. We easily killed a couple of hours here. With really nothing else to do indoors with kids (other than a movie theater), this was a welcome find. The librarians were wonderful as well. You can tell they love their job.

VERY CUTE little library!…read more It's not too small, so it has plenty of options. It's not too big so it's not too difficult to navigate. I love that the computer usage is free and the printing is cheap! Definitely makes printing accessable to all community members. I appreciate their return policy, it's not too stringent and really allows patrons to be responsible for their own returns in a timely manner. The staff are so friendly and helpful! Every time I visit the associates are always smiling and welcoming. They even taught me about the Hoopla & Libby apps!!! Will DEFINITELY be back to visit very soon!

Multiple floors of rows and rows of books. Lots of rooms for various purposes. Plenty of bathrooms on all floors. And also a lot of options like chairs, couches, and benches to sit on.

Ashton pretended to be nice in order to get free stickers off me then would glare and refuse to speak to me afterwards. A staff member admitted they use Hispanic children as translators, but if no child is around they just hang up or don't help the patron. I emailed them kindly twice bringing up concerns just for them to treat me even worse than before. My kids and I would leave crying after interacting with staff because none of us could understand why our local librarians were being so mean to us. I asked for the Hispanic children's books to be put at an appropriate height for the age range of the books and that they be brought out from behind all the resource books because it felt unfair and dehumanizing to have them go all the way to the back of the room. Sending Hispanic people to the back? I also just wanted adult Spanish books to improve my Spanish, but because the director has added things for the adults in kids lives so I figured he'd be excited. Danielle U. seems to like to shove people out of conversations and talk over them. She also had no concerns for a child and instead offered to throw him out for me because he asked me for a ride. I feel she should've checked on the child and not try to kick him out. The staff nor director Gary seem to want to fix the situation or offer any form of clarity as to why they've been treating me along with other patrons so poorly

K found what she wanted, admired the fish tank, played in the play areas. Very pleasant all around. We are lucky to have a great library system in Franklin County, often rated one of the best in the nation, with many branches, which are being upgraded regularly.
