It's free except for materials.

I stopped in today and they took the time to walk me through all the various pieces of equipment. For the DIY person, this is a gold mine of great equipment.

Well organized, attentive, informed staff, great selections, and quick, easy access to just about any materials available near or far. Great programs for seniors, children, and anyone in-between. Added bonus? It's just across the tracks (!!) from the Farmer's Market, so come early on a Saturday mornings during the summer/early fall, take in the best of Springfield's local flavors (including an amazing coffee from Un Mundo Cafe at the Heritage Center!!) then head over to the library and lose yourself in "the stacks!!"

VERY helpful staff will help find just about anything you need. The main branch library in downtown Springfield is amazing, a true oasis in a semi-dying city, but this branch is SO convenient, especially when you're running errands and need to either pick up or return some books or movies.

Very impressed with the kids section of this library. The first time I visited, I felt that it was…read moreso cut off from the rest of the library, which I didn't like. But this time, I really enjoyed that the section was completely separate, because it feels more free to be kid-like like there, as the other reviewer mentions. Also I was so happy to see the computer terminals in the kids section for searching for books. Kids can actually search by picture, if they can't yet read. So, for example, a kid can click on a picture of the sun, and then see pictures of the fronts of books about the sun. This is pretty awesome, and I have never seen anything like it before. Staff in the children's section were extremely helpful, and we got lots of pretty awesome books. The section is huge with a huge variety. I also enjoyed the adult section, and got a few books for myself too. Bathroom was very clean, and library was quiet.

I love my community library! I have attended a number of events here and they are always so…read moreinformative. My one complaint is that the events are so popular that you have to watch the website and sign up immediately when something comes up that you are interested in. There is a food box outside the library. Inside, snacks are always available for the young ones. I use the website to request books that aren't available in house and the process is smooth. The checkout and book return is up-to-date and easy to use. The library staff is helpful and friendly. I love the large magazine section. A lot of libraries I have been to in the past have stopped having magazines available. I'm old school and love to hold and read a magazine. There is ample comfortable seating.

Woodbourne Library is one of two branches of the Washington-Centervile Library system, with the…read moreother being the Centerville Library located just 3 miles south from this location. As of this review, it's open from 10am-9pm during the week, 10am-5pm on Saturdays and 1pm-5pm on Sundays. All Dayton Metro Library branches are closed on Sundays, so this is a nice option to have in the area. The most recent renovation and expansion to this facility occurred in 2018, and it remains clean and well-maintained. Reservable spaces include three 'quiet' rooms for up to 4 people, two meeting rooms for 4-6 people, a creative space for up to 20 people, and a large community room for up to 80 people. Of note, the three quiet rooms have a single, small round table, which makes it difficult for more than 2 people to use at the same time. The meeting rooms are located in the middle of the library and lack windows to the outside. Other spaces include a few scattered smaller tables in the front of the library and one 4 person table in the far back corner which is usually highly sought after as it is isolated from the other areas and provides some privacy. In addition, there are four 4-person tables in the middle with outlets, and three 2-person tables adjacent to these, although without outlet access. In another area, they have some other 2-person tables with dividers in the middle thus making them individual spots. There are lots of reading chairs spread throughout. Although this may sound like a lot, the tables (particularly the 4-person ones) fill up rather quickly, so I've always thought they could use a few more. I've also noticed that this library is rather busy most of the time, especially compared to some of the others in the area.

I have been at the new library several times now, and each experience has been great. Admittedly I…read morehave not been there for the books but for the environment. I currently telecommute for work but working at home can be a little isolating. So I go to the library to work in a quiet environment that allows me to focus yet is open and bright(lots of windows). The furniture is comfortable, there is free WiFi, the librarians are pleasant and helpful, and as a town resident I can reserve a meeting room for times that I need to talk on the phone with my co-workers. I know that this is not the traditional use of the library but since we pay taxes to support it, as long as I don't disturb anyone else in the process, I feel perfectly good about it. I wrote my dissertation in a public library years ago and came to appreciate them not only for this sort of thing but as a continuing center of the community. They are a hive of activity that we should maintain. And for me, when I take breaks from work, I enjoy the magazines and books available to me. Support your local library!
