I went every single week on Saturdays when I was a kid for several years. I only remember having an…read moreerror with checking out a couple times. They have an above-average selection, comfortable areas to read in, beautiful exterior and interior, helpful librarians, storytime for kids and events for the community that are wholesome unlike so many other libraries. I moved to an area with a much smaller library and ran through their crummy selection in 2 years without even trying, and my college library has unfriendly librarians and a censorship problem plus obscene displays, but this library is all good in my book.

The north branch opened on May 14th, 2011 and I'm already addicted! Addicted to books that is!…read more The library is beautiful architecturally and very state-of-the-art. There is a library self-checkout, drive through book drop off, meeting rooms, coffee/snack machine in the lobby, fun kids section and tons of books, audiobooks, DVDs, music - you name it! The whole book search and check-out process has been significantly streamlined and made very efficient. I usually have books from the other Peoria libraries sent to the north branch, and instead of waiting for the librarian to try to find your book, they now have "holds" in a special alcove section, alphabetized by YOUR last name, so that you can quickly find the book yourself, check-out and start the reading fun. The other cool thing about the north branch is that it has a "bookstore," similar to (but not as extensive) as the Lakeview Museum book court. The used books are EXTREMELY cheap, with a range of 20-80 cents a book. Everything is just so new and shiny! Even the seating area reminds me of a collegiate study library. Very nice indeed!

I do not understand why my mail box can not be closed each time I have mail delivery. I have…read morecomplained off and on about this for the last few years. Very easy to lift and close. Have talked to the supervisors in person because no one answers the phones. They said they would check into it and make sure the carrier knows to shut the door. Also can someone explain to me why the Peoria Post Offices have phone numbers that do not work listed in a phone book that was just distributed to my house less than a month ago?????

Love this place! I was calling up the library to ask if they rented out bike repair tools, and…read morethey're the only place around Peoria that does. They rent out a bunch of things such as educational games and tools for kids, binoculars, puzzles, and so much more. There are some tables dedicated to coloring or being part of finishing a puzzle. Plenty of tables to do work with lots of outlets and fast internet.

They have a seeds library where you can donate and take seeds for herbs, vegetables, and flowers to attract wildlife. Librarians are always friendly. There's also a walking trail and park nearby which makes it convenient.

Very Nice Customer Service. I have been using the Mossville post office for the last 5 years and…read moreall I can say is the post person ( I believe her name is Terri ) has always been polite and very professional. I have had to wait in line on occasion and have seen her interact with customers and have never witnessed her being rude or short with anyone. Always pleasant and taking time to talk with folks. I know she has rules to comply with that she has no control over. Maybe the person who gave her the one star review didn't comply with the rules and they didn't like it. I know for a fact this postal employee has given her own money many times to pay postage for mail and packages for veterans and charity groups. There are some people in this world who can't be pleased and with social media they can put out whatever they want whether it's true or not and that's a shame.

Terrible customer service. On multiple occasions the woman working here has been rude,…read morecondescending, and unhelpful. I stop at this post office out of sheer convenience but I will never return after a recent encounter with her. I've sent multiple care packages from several different post offices to my Marine son-in-law who's overseas and the one time I tried to mail from this location this same woman gave me a hard time and refused to send my boxes, claiming my custom forms were not filled out right. I filled these custom forms out the same way I've been filling them out at every other post office and have never had an issue so I was completely caught off guard. I was blown away by her patronizing tone with me throughout the ordeal so I decided to leave and go to another post office. I recommend taking the little drive up north to Chillicothe for all of your postal needs. The man who works at the Chillicothe post office is a veteran himself and was happy to send my boxes with the EXACT same custom forms I filled out for the woman at the Mossville location.

This library is popular & could use more local investment (more computers & materials) because it is a great service to the Peoria community and family friendly. You can always reserve books & movies online or by request from other libraries to pick up here as well. Useful for my son's report. The children's librarian goes above and beyond.

Not a fan of what the city did to my previously favorite branch, Lakeview! The only return drop is…read morenow the same old ones OUTSIDE so you can stand in the rain or cold while dropping your books one at a time into the miniscule drop slot. They got rid of the human librarians and replaced them with self-scanners that no one can use (which is why grocery stores are removing them but COP is just now thinking they are new technology). The wait to use one of these scanners is longer than the humans because the patrons can't work them and get a 15 walk-through/training session instead!!! All of the books are now crammed together along the right side of the main room so that the left side can just be hideously painted cinder blocks. PLAIN CONCRETE, no posters, no art, no photographs! It looks like they shoved everything over to paint that wall but forgot to move some books back over. The New Releases and Holds bookcase is set so close to the wall now that two people can't pass by each other while browsing. There is a huge box in the center of the room which must be an information desk although there is no sign indicating this. There are librarians sitting in there although I haven't seen anyone requesting help. What was wrong with having them up front to help check out and letting people ask for help there? Honestly, thank God I have a Kindle.
