Apparently, the library system believes we are unable to make up our mind about what's happening in the war... They are also closed on Holiday weekends! Good Lord! When are people out of work? When are kids out of school? The weekends--they close! Very poor library system--and I've lived in many states, this is the worst I've ever seen. Sad {:

We have visited the library NUMEROUS times so far since living in Midland…read more The staff always have been friendly and helpful! We liked the Curious George exhibit they had over the summer. Interested to see what other ones they will have! This is definitely a smaller library than other ones I have been to. We've mainly only been in the children's section and the DVDs. With 3 young kids, I rarely have time to read an adult book. I do like the modern look of the library. Cool chairs, awesome projections on the floors, etc. We typically come a few times a week!

Luckily, I was able to on a work trip since it was a very short walk there from my hotel. On the outside, it looks very large with beautiful decorations and paintings all around the building. When you walk in, it's a bit underwhelming. It feels like a stale business office. The book selection is actually pretty decent although I was disappointed in their oil and gas book selection given that Midland/Odessa is THE oil town of America. I would say the highlights of this library is that they have 2 gaming stations with games for PlayStation, Wii, Switch, and Xbox, and they have plenty of computers. I would recommend this library for residents of Midland but people visiting will probably find it underwhelming with its offerings.

The library was decent. It was large with a lot of books.

The girl who got us our library cards was very helpful. There was another woman from the kids section that was very polite and kind. Now, the reason for the lower score is the hours. They close at 6 on Monday through Friday. They are closed on Sundays. Signs say they will close on Saturdays starting in September. I take my son to the library and that will be hard to do once school starts with these bad hours.

I came here for the first time this past weekend to finally sign up for my library card. I'm…read moreimpressed, even surprised, by the quality of this library for it being in Lubbock. Also, this location was my only choice because it's the only branch open Sundays. The collection is entirely on the main floor. When you come in, fiction is mostly to the left and through the center, children's in the back left corner, non-fiction center back, and a huge section for genealogy research in the back right corner. In the front right side and corner is a computer area open to all visitors - it seems like a first come first served situation. There's also an armed police officer who seems to be always on duty here at a desk near the front. It's actually my first time seeing this in a library, and I come from a much larger city. Staff was helpful in getting me signed up. Probably the greatest benefit is in being able to join the Libby app for ebooks and audiobooks. But nothing will beat the brick and mortar library for things like graphic novels and a nice focused place to study.

One nice staff member tried calling the museum for me. When that failed, she asked a few questions to her supervisor who never left her desk during the 5+ minute conversation. I used to work at a library and I'm so glad to see that people still use them. Free, ample parking in a private lot. Beautiful, colorful mural on the parking lot side along with plenty of outdoor seating & shade. Thank you, Lovington!

You can often see groups of them here along with parents doing storytime and other activities. It is, therefore, not usually quiet here as the building is also quite small. There's also a huge selection of mostly fiction, a smattering of nonfiction, DVDs, and a waning collection of audiobooks on CDs. Unfortunately there is not a music collection. You can also access a digital library on the Libby app with your membership here. Through there you can find even more audiobooks in particular. There are computers with internet access and limited seating for reading or study. They are always clean and organized. There's a community info board in the lobby, a "free stuff" box, small selection of books for sale for a quarter each, and some library themed things for sale too. Staff always does a good job of displaying monthly themed material. Recently they put up a display of banned books - how edgy! Check the calendar of events for the occasional movie nights and more.
