No one can enjoy themselves with the Karen working, and it honestly ruins the entire experience of a library. Secondly, no where in the policy or guidelines does it state that people can't sit at the back of the library, but yet today while I was sitting there, a police officer pulled up and told me that a librarian had called the police and said I needed to move. A very Karen-like move for a certain librarian to pull off. I had to grab my things and move to the front of the library, just because a librarian woke up this morning and decided she wants to be a Karen today.

I love libraries. Surrounded by ideas and physical media I feel.... happy.

I recently moved to the area and was amazed to discover that my new local library just happens to be the best library I've ever been to. The selection of books is excellent and the children's section is wonderful. But they go above and beyond in so many areas; They have a great selection of the normal fare movies, audio books, and magazines. But you can also play and check out board games, graphic novels, telescopes, and fishing rods. They have a teen area. Study areas. A bookstore, where you can find great prices. And they have a cafe.

I love to read so one of the very first things a did after moving to Tulsa was get a library card. This place is a library lovers dream. It is huge. Nice big parking lot with handicap-accessible parking. Drive up Dropbox is available so you can drop off your books if you don't have time to go inside. This library is clean, even the bathroom sparkled. Helpful staff scattered about and they are always more than happy to help you find anything or answer questions. There are many computers and I saw several large study rooms where people were studying. They have a huge children's section that's closed off. I'm not sure if there are books in there but there's plenty of room for the kids to play. I'll be honest sometimes I just wanna get away from the TV, people and life's stressors and one my favorite things to do is to take my Kindle or the book I'm reading ( I like both ebooks and regular books) and go to the library, curl up in one of their comfy chairs and read for several hours especially in the summer when it's hot outside. If you like to read and haven't checked this library out, I highly recommend you do so.

I visited the library after attending a block party rally event calling for more transparency in…read moretulsa courts by requiring camera placement in each courtroom and judge chambers. i decided to go in the library after the event in large part because of a previous court case i'd observed, in which a judge asked a party representing herself to provide copies of her piece of evidence, but because the court copy machine was not working, she had to go across the street to print copies from the library. and due to the potential postponement of a court date i surmise such a delay could engender, i'd decided to print a copy of the flyer i received promoting the event from the library printer, as i'd not used any copying machine at that library location since its remodeling. the print and copy station, located on the first floor, at about the middle of the room to the right, facing away from the main court adjacent entrance, was user friendly based on the experience i had. the copy machine charged 25 cents to print the flyer with color, and it would have been 10 cent if i were printing in black and white. further, the copy machine, located in the picture to the far left, includes instructions for how to use it, with the only confusion i'd experienced being which direction to face the document in the insert slot, so you might want to pay a lil closer attention to that aspect than others when printing a copy. lastly, having not visited the library for any significant amount of time since the installment of study rooms to the second floor, i got a close look into some of the several reservable glass enclosement quiet rooms overlooking downtown, a distinct feature among all library locations i've visited, in tulsa or otherwise.
