There isn't a huge selection of books, but those they have on hand seem designed to catch the essence of their respective categories. There are thousands of DVDs, way more than I'd expect. If they don't have something here, there's an online reservation system between libraries. Even at 54th in line for a TV series I still got it within a couple months. There is a very small play area for kids and tons of kids books. There's also a teen room, study room and conference room. The men's bathroom is of the single serve variety and there's a changing station in there. Love this little library. I look forward to making it a regular stop on walks through the neighborhood, and taking in shows like magic, story-time and puppetry for Jr.

They recently added a wing for storytime so that it is not so overrun with noisy little kids inside the library area as another reviewer complained of. There is a fun 'reading wall' for kids to climb up, sit in little nooks, and look at books/read. They have tons of activities for kids - especially in the summer. This library is not huge. And the interior is okay but could use some updating. There's a beautiful wall of windows on one side of the building and a cozy fireplace for the winter.

The librarians, if that's what they are have zero interest in providing anything that resembles a place to study or even attempt to read say, a book. It's a real shame as it's a great building.

One of my favorite memories from when I was younger was seeing the adorable hamsters they kept in a small enclosure near the kids' area. Sometimes they would even let the hamsters explore the library in little hamster balls, which was always fun to watch. The library does an amazing job creating a space for children. They regularly host fun events and activities, and although the play area isn't huge, it's a place where so many great memories are made. There are also tables set up for kids to read, draw, and work on crafts. I used to spend so much time playing there after walking to the library with my grandma. Eventually we stopped going, but now that I'm a little older I've started coming back on my own. It's become one of my favorite places to relax. Normally I don't enjoy reading very much, but there's something about the quiet, comfortable atmosphere here that actually makes me want to pick up a book. They also have a quiet study room, which has been a huge help with school whenever I need a peaceful place to focus. This library has been a part of my life for years, and I'm grateful to have such an amazing place in the community. Whether you're looking for a good book, a quiet place to study, or somewhere to bring your kids, I couldn't recommend it more. It truly deserves five stars.

In typical fashion, they provide much more than just books. There's a community bulletin board at the entrance-I love to explore those; they give such a sense of what's going on locally. It was also autumn season and the library was giving away a roll of leaf bags-one per family. What a neat service! The vibe is energetic, but quiet-just like a library should be. Not dead, but a place where people can study, concentrate or quietly mingle. Plenty of seating as well as meeting rooms where groups can gather, such as the book club I attended. I don't love the parking lot situation. The drive up to return books crosses with the main traffic and there's no clear place for pedestrians. When there are a lot of visitors, it makes for a confusing intersection, and possibly dangerous. Otherwise, it's a lovely place to curl up with a book and enjoy!

Also, this building is getting a little dated and instead of smelling like books, it smells like an old lady's closet. Additionally, I take issue with the miniscule size of the windows. Is it night or day? You'll never be able to tell once inside. That being said, I like that is library has a completely different floor for the ankle biters. Put them underground where they belong! I'm glad I don't have to shush them, they can just be kids. The librarians are pretty friendly and helpful. They offer many computers for internet use. They have DVDs, music CDs, current magazines and even a State Parks Pass you can check out. I also like the self check out, makes getting out of there a snap. If you can, sign up for email reminders and online access, it will improve your library life ten-fold! I love supporting the library system and they in turn enjoy my late-fee revenue (albeit a very forgiving grace period at this location.) READ!

I think it's amazing that we have this free place to take kids when it's too hot or cold to play outside and they can play with blocks, crayons, a play kitchen and food, and of course books! What an amazing little gem. I've tried the Taylorsville branch which is a little "nicer" but doesn't have the play area like this. It really is amazing. This branch also offer free meals to school aged kids at different t times throughout the week, and you always see people of all ages here using the different services. Libraries are the BEST!

I went to…read moresee if I had a library card and the lady at the help desk told me I didn't and showed me how to apply. After filling out the lengthy application I went to the card desk to find out I had a card 14 years ago when I was a minor and it had a balance. The lady at card desk then asked the manager on duty and if they could set me up on an informal payment plan. She approved the plan and they left a note on my account stating so. I went back a few hours later to see a new staff. One of which was stating they were the supervisor. I stated that I had to check out with an attendant due to a balance owed, that I was on a payment plan and they said I could still check out during that time. She stated that I would not be checking out anything until the amount due was under $25. That is not what I was told by their morning managers. She was very rude and after me explaining multiple times she eventually said "did you even pay anything today?" I said I did and she very rudely stated I could check out 1 book only and that would be the only book I check out until the bill is under $25. I understand that there are policies in place but those were not previously stated to me. I did not appreciate the fact that she was not nice or welcoming at all and had a big attitude problem. I don't see how we're encouraged to go to libraries and use our local resources when there are people like this running them. It would be nice if everyone were on the same page. Most likely won't be returning to this location even though it's closest to me, I don't appreciate being spoken to like that especially in front of others. I hope she's nicer to her employees.
