So have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy the Longview library. I like to say libraries have saved…read moremy life... its just amazing how you can find what you really need and it almost seems like it finds its way to you. Longview library is no exception. When it comes to my main interests since I've been here, like health and wellness, they have some of the latest new books by top people when I look for them, such as How Not to Die, by Dr. Michael Greger, MD! The staff for the most part is the best I've ever known in any library, especially David Hamblin. Always ready with a warm smile and ready to help with any questions or need, although he has now moved to the geneology department so I don't see him as much. Which is another point, they have a whole separate area for looking up ancestry and important local historical records. Pretty cool! They also have regular events! One of the best is "Chappaqua" in the spring, where they reach out by providing a fun day outside, with vendor booths and live music by others in the community. Lastly, I love getting audio books on CD and they have a great selection of both CDs and DVDs. It's a big library with lots of stuff. A great children's section as well-- You should go check them out!! :)

The library is of a size that one would expect for a community the size of Alto, yet it has distinguished itself by the vision, scope and quality of its special collections. The Stella Hill materials are unique enough that they would be considered a major collection within a larger institution such as East Texas Research Center, History Center at Diboll, or at Liberty. And -- the staff makes their collections very easy to access and work with, with easily accessible materials and finding aids that are well-cared for and regularly updated. Stella Hill Memorial Library has established themselves as a unique and important complement to the larger archives in the area, and I encourage you to check them out as you make your way through your research. Thank you Stella Hill Memorial Library and your staff -- we all really appreciate your work and I myself look forward to returning to visit.

Definitely worth the little tour that they have. It is free to visit but I do recommend bringing some cash as they accept cash donations. They do not offer much of a gift shop and if you wanted anything you would need to pay cash.
