Tons of books to choose from, like any library but it's really nice and the people who work there have always been super helpful when I needed to find a book. When I couldn't renew my book online, it was super easy to call and they renewed it for me pretty quickly. It's a large library with movies, books, magazines, and I think you can even do e-books. I haven't tried this yet because a good book in hand is always nice.

If you want a book or other item that the library doesn't have, they can obtain it from another library in the Luzerne County Library System or make a request through an inter-library loan. The library is comfortable and feels like home. If you don't have the money to buy books, this is the place to go. With a library card, they are free to borrow for one, two or three weeks, depending on the age and other people's requests for a particular book. I have been using the library for all of my life, and if you don't have the money, you can really describe it as the People's University.

Should I buy a book? I often check it out at the library first and decide if I want it in my own collection. Fun to see people playing chess with the giant chess pieces; often very interesting displays from artists and other groups in the community. So lucky that there is a bookmobile. A very pleasant place to be if you just want to browse for books, read, and explore the possibilities (maybe the green screen or 3-D printer?) And the Steele has a green roof!

I have a large soft spot in my heart for libraries... but not this one. I've been in several times…read moreto print off resumes and every time it's the same thing: no one smiles, offers to help, and no greeting. I had a couple questions during my time there and each time I would walk up to the counter and the librarian (or aid) would ignore me and stare blankly into the computer screen... come on? You 'can't' see me? I finally got a letter stating my new permanent address in the area and went to get a library card... what-a-joke. The two employees at the check-out counter made me feel like I was putting a burden on them. At one point, I almost told the male employee to forget it and walk out. I woke up this same morning excited to go get a library card in my new town, as I am a lover of books. But this facility made all that excitement go down the drain - fast.

We are fortunate to have such a great public library. It's a joy to be here. I will not be…read moresurprised if someone tells me it's one of the best public library in the world of a city this size. I particularly love the documentary film collections on DVDs. I don't have Netflix and amazon film services ... I don't have television cables either. I really don't need it. I don't have time for it. This is how I give the finger to evil multinational corporations. I take advantage of the library catalog and use its hold service to my heart's content. I really hope the public libraries like this will continue to thrive. Those DVDs educated me far more than anything I learned in grad schools. Seriously. I've been trying to checkout a state park pass from Library of Things ... it has not been successful. They told me that they only have 4 passes and 10 in the entire library system. I will keep trying! Maybe I will get lucky one day! Hey, I heard a public library in San Francisco has sewing machines! I would love a sewing and knitting/crocheting workshops here ...helping me give more fingers to the corporations by sewing my own underwears ... why not? Maybe you can cooperate with Sew Green to make it happen ... My only "complaint" is that I wish the purchase request process was more transparent .. i.e. if I could get a feedback from the librarian as to the possibility for the purchase of a particular item I want to borrow, and receiving a notification when the item is purchased ... that would be delightful ... but then I know that we can set the catalog search parameter to alert us to the items when it is cataloged in the library system, so no complaints ... Please keep up the wonderful work! The library is one of the best ways our tax money is put to use!

I like the programs that the library offers, like the after school meal program for under privlidged kids that they hold 2 days a week. The materials selection is not as big as you would think, considering the massive size of the building, but I can understand, considering that the library had to be rebuilt a few years ago due to a major roof collapse during a bad snow and ice storm. I guess they are trying to rebuild their collection. There is a plenty of parking available in their parking lot, and they also sell coffee, tea, and snacks to help benefit the library. Very nice place to hang out. :-) *Top-notch bathrooms. They are very clean.
