Staff at this location are INCOMPETENT…read more I returned a book two weeks BEFORE the due date. Four weeks after returning the book, their staff sent me notifications, letters in the mail & called me, harassing me that I "didn't return their book". I went to the library & spoke to multiple staff, they ALL told me, "The book is not here, you never returned it!" They REFUSED listening to me. They were CONFIDENT, SO SURE, I had not returned the book. "We know how to do our job! It's a very complicated & step by step process that requires a few people. THE BOOK NEVER CAME INTO THIS BUILDING! You need to check your shelves, your car, you need to check your whole house!" After being interrupted by multiple staff, yelled at & spoken down to, I went home confused & discouraged thinking it must have been my fault. I turned my house upside down, I cleaned out my car looking for this book. I didn't sleep for two nights straight, thinking & wracking my brain, "I know I returned the book, I can't explain what happened." Two days later, I get an email telling me they had found the book. I spoke to the staff on the phone & in person, NOT ONE STAFF MEMBER WANTED TO APOLOGIZE for how they treated me & spoke to me. When they thought losing the book was my fault, they were so arrogant & cocky, yelling at me, interrupting me; but the moment the book is found, NOT ONE CHICKEN-HEADED staff member wanted to show their face. I know why they didn't want to see me, they were too cowardice to even say, "We are very sorry for how we treated you, we will try harder at trusting you next time." It turned out, the book was in a box, under an employee's desk. Their staff had MIS-PLACED THE BOOK & they blamed me. I used to enjoy coming to this library. In previous years, I had very positive conversations with their staff. From now on, I will NEVER trust this location again. It's so important to treat another person even with a little understanding & compassion, it goes a long way. And if you're wrong, at least have the decency to apologize. No, these people SUCK at their jobs. Maybe they keep their professionalism in a box, under the employee's desk.

I have been at this library several times in the past year to meet with clients in private. The…read moresad thing is, it's a nice library, but not very handicap accessible inside. The elevator at the front of the building is always broken, so you have to go to the back of the building if you want to use it. It's also very small inside the elevators. The stairs are very steep and exposed. There are only a couple of study rooms, all located upstairs. They are usually available, though. The bathrooms are ok, not the cleanest. The parking lot is free and easy to access to the building. The wifi is not very fast and constantly kicks you off. But if you need to meet with someone privately and also need some wifi, this is pretty much the only place in Marion to do it.

Hopefully you never have to go here they are so hateful and nasty, you know if you want to feel bad…read moreyou want someone who has some sympathy, it is not here, the officers are very petty and you definitely don't want to deal with them one but, so if you're going to be naughty don't do it in grant county and I mean that

The Mayor of Anderson, Indiana is Mayor Broderick Jr. and he is always out to lunch! I just moved…read moreto Anderson Indiana and I had to call his office to beg for cleaning the streets. The agent refused to transfer me to a supervisor and hung up on me! I had an issue with the Anderson Utility Company and Julie gave me the run around! She lied that a board worker is going to help me and I have not heard from anybody! The buses don't have air and the drivers send you to the mayor's office jokingly! They know that he is out to lunch! I wonder where does his state and federal budget go to?! If they are poor, request more funding or collect donations from the public. It is sad and intolerable to deal with these present conditions in Anderson. This city has many possibilities for growth and progress and yet the Mayor does not care! He is incapable to help its citizens who voted for him! The city is in 1944 era! This is the extent of our government in Anderson, IN.

James Dean is an Indiana legend who captured hearts and was taken too young. This small memorial…read morecommemorates the site of an apartment (now gone) in which he was born in Marion, Indiana. I happened upon the memorial while looking for a place to eat. There is a large sign pointing to the memorial and a historical marker at the memorial. A large granite monument with impressions of Dean is surrounded by benches to sit. Dean died in an automobile accident at the age of 24. He is bury in Fairmont, Indiana, where he grew up. He had made three movies depicting life in the early 1950's. While he died before I was born, I remember watching reruns of his movies with my mother. I think of her as I see the memorial. There is limited street parking near the memorial and no amenities.

What a nice tribute to James Dean! I was so excited to see that Marion, IN, gave quite the upgrade…read moreto their memorial in honor of Dean's birthplace. This is a small but nice park with a gorgeous memorial. Lots of free parking right next to it.
