Great children's area!…read more We were in the area and decided to stop by and visit. The library is open on a Sunday which is rare for most libraries. They have a spacious children's area with lots of books and areas to play. There was a giant boat, aquarium with colorful fish, interactive table, plus a great play area for children six and under. My kids loved all the stuff to do in the play room and I loved that the door was shut so they wouldn't interrupt others in the library. They also have a family bathroom that is perfect for kids just starting to potty train.

There is a nice open area on the first floor where you can meet with friends and converse or just enjoy nature from the large windows.

I spend more hours than I can could here as a child and teenager, and the librarians here (Mrs. Dibling!) are one of the reasons why I'm the voracious reader I am today. Too bad budget cuts have caused them to close on Fridays and Sundays. Still, their reduced hours still have them open more than a lot of libraries in similarly-sized towns in California. Pity.

The facilities are nice and they have a separate area for young adults that's apart from the kids which I always think is important. As far as online goes, they are part of the Ohio Digital Library so you get access to everything through Overdrive online, which is great. They seem to have quite a few activities going on all of the time like tutoring from BGSU students for reading for kids, seniors activities, story time for children, etc.

Ashton pretended to be nice in order to get free stickers off me then would glare and refuse to speak to me afterwards. A staff member admitted they use Hispanic children as translators, but if no child is around they just hang up or don't help the patron. I emailed them kindly twice bringing up concerns just for them to treat me even worse than before. My kids and I would leave crying after interacting with staff because none of us could understand why our local librarians were being so mean to us. I asked for the Hispanic children's books to be put at an appropriate height for the age range of the books and that they be brought out from behind all the resource books because it felt unfair and dehumanizing to have them go all the way to the back of the room. Sending Hispanic people to the back? I also just wanted adult Spanish books to improve my Spanish, but because the director has added things for the adults in kids lives so I figured he'd be excited. Danielle U. seems to like to shove people out of conversations and talk over them. She also had no concerns for a child and instead offered to throw him out for me because he asked me for a ride. I feel she should've checked on the child and not try to kick him out. The staff nor director Gary seem to want to fix the situation or offer any form of clarity as to why they've been treating me along with other patrons so poorly
