Allowing child grooming books in the library--while censoring websites they don't like, aka, RT.com…read more(the Russian news channel). 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 {:

Friendly staff and beautiful library. My only complain is…read morethe shelving (for childrens, I haven't been to the adult section yet). Can we adopt the dewy decimal system here?! Having the same author on multiple shelves because they are shelved according to book name is really irritating. We should be able to come in and see all of what one author has to offer in one location.

Even though I lived in Midland for about a year and half a few years ago, I never visited the main…read moreMidland Library branch here. 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.

Not a fan, the ladies working here never look up, greet you, or even try to be nice. The childrens…read morebooks are organized very oddly. Some are not organized according to author and instead shelved by the name of the series or book. As an example, let's use J K Rowling, if the library has four different series of hers they will not all be in on location but will instead be spread out on different shelves according to their title. This is the oddest thing I've ever seen and very frustrating when any other library you've been to utilizes the dewy decimal system and shelves books according to the authors name so they are all nicely located on one shelf location. The centennial library is much friendly but the same odd shelving is happening over there too.

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.
