I've been coming to the Eva Perry for over 20 years. Their quiet room was perfect for when I was…read moreworking on a professional certification. I would sit at one of the carrels for hours, without interruption. This is one of the largest libraries in the county. They have a huge selection of mysteries and general fiction, and their children's section is also quite large. They have regular story times for even the youngest family members, and they have regular workshops on subjects like gardening and writing. Check the boards when you walk in for more information.

There are lots of nice things about this library…read more I like that you can place books on hold and specify which library location you want to pick the books up at and they will email you once they are ready. Then you just need to go to the hold section and grab your books. You have the option to check out books with a person or utilize their kiosk to self-checkout. At this location, self-checkout is easy as you can stack up to four books at a time and the kiosk easily and quickly knows what books you are checking out. You can print a receipt or have an email sent to you with a list of books that you checked out. When returning books, you have the option for a drive-up outdoor drop-off from your car or a drop box inside. There are always plenty of staff members willing and able to assist you. There are plenty of tables and computers and I like that they have a quiet room.

I came to visit for the first time and went to baby story time and it was great! The staff and…read moreother families were very nice and welcoming. The area for story time is large.

They must have…read morebeen mainly upgrading the infrastructure because I don't see any real physical evidence of remodeling. There is plenty of parking & a quiet room for ADD & special needs folks with spinners etc. I love almost all the librarians with one notable exception who shall remain nameless but I'm told she gets lots of complaints. The internet isn't as strong as I think it should be for the amount of people who use it! I do appreciate that the librarians have tables set up with their favorite books. I do wish they would go back to the old days where quiet was observed but the Apex library is better about that I've found. I wish wake county libraries would have DVD's the way Durham libraries do.

Pretty good selection of books. I especially like the table with the staff's recommendations…read more Nice place to study if you don't mind having a good number of other people studying all around you. Has a great quiet room where several people can study without too much distraction. The desks throughout the open area in the library are generally taken if you come here after school. Lots of local students study here. My kids have met tutors here to study and done their own independent study here. The staff is friendly and helpful. Bathrooms are decent enough. Dated but generally clean. Library was closed for a few months so this may have changed. I didn't visit the restroom on my most recent visit.

I'm SO GLAD the libraries have their "books on the go" program up and running during the pandemic…read more The library staff work hard to get books into the hands of community members in a safe way. The pick up system has worked flawlessly and kept our house full of books for my kiddo (and saving me from buying tons of books for my avid reader!). Being connected to the rest of the library system allows for access to so many books, and they seem to arrive at the chosen branch more quickly now that "books on the go" has been up and running for a while. My kiddo and I are excited to get to pop back in and browse once it's safe to do so again. She's excited to have the opportunity to check out lots of the books on the shelves and find new favorites on her own. This is a great branch to do just that without feeling overwhelmed by too many choices.

The photos I took do not cover how incredible this five story library truly was. Set on the NC…read moreState University campus, this is a hidden gem for book lovers and those who love Swedish design. It is massive and as soon as I walked in I felt right at home. I stumbled on this while looking for things to do in the area while attending a book signing. Being a book lover and author, this was an obvious choice. My friend and I explored the first two floors (we were pressed for time) and were in awe. I wish Charleston had something like this because I would be here every single day working on my next manuscript. There were several rooms, desks, and seating areas for readers and students alike to choose from. The large windows allow for plenty of natural light that offsets the bright interior lights. They have a wide collection of titles and studies! Highly recommend that you check it out. Just remember to be quiet and respectful as students may be present working on their projects.

My teenage son studied here for his final exams. He appreciated the later closing hours compared to…read moreour local library. I appreciated the safe location and the kind staff. On the other hand, my son complained about the slow public wi-fi, which is a pretty big negative when you're studying using your laptop. He said it took 10 minutes just to get connected to the wi-fi. But for that, this seems like a nice spot to study if you've got a personal hotspot (or access otherwise to faster Internet). Hopefully, there is faster wi-fi for NC State students.

I love this library! Ever since they reopened last year it has become my library of choice. It…read moreisn't the largest library in Raleigh by any means, but it still has everything you need! I really love the drive-thru book drop off. I usually swing by before I bring my son to school and it's very convenient that we all don't have to get out of the car to return the books. I also love the self checkout stations inside the library. They are pretty magical, especially if you are checking out a ton of books. The children's section is great! It's set up in a way that is very clear and easy to follow depending on what age group you are looking for. I loved the candy land inspired interactive game they had setup in December. My son had so much fun checking it out. I especially loved that it was open if the library was open, you didn't have to go in at a specific time. I also love their Lucky Day section at the front of the library. You might get lucky and score a book that would otherwise have a super long waitlist. Such a neat concept! In general Wake County's online library system is awesome. It's so easy to reserve books and e-books as well. At North to pick up your books just head straight in towards the back by the main checkout desk. You can easily find what you need in alphabetical order there. I used the word love a lot of times in this review, but I really do truly love our Wake County library system. It's the best!!

The library is full of tall windows that allow natural bright light in. It also has plenty of big tables with chairs, however I would definitely recommend going earlier in the morning on weekends if you want a guaranteed table as they fill up pretty quickly. However they also have lots of couches with side tables that I sometimes use as a desk when tables aren't available (sometimes I prefer that since I am a comfy studier). At the entrance, they have a small coffee shop that I have yet to try. On the sides, they have a few conference/group rooms (which tend to be booked anytime I go) and downstairs, they have additional tables. They also have ample parking near the upper and lower entrances.

Really enjoyed this library location. It's located in the same bldg as the cultural center downtown…read moreHolly Springs. They have the farmers market in the parking lot every Saturday, year round. The library has self service to check out books. You can even look for books online, place them on hold, or submit a request. If the book you check out will expire, it automatically renews the return date unless some else has requested it. Locating books was pretty simple, I didn't have any trouble. They have several computer stations too. Cost 10 cents per page when you print documents. The staff were all very kind and helpful. It was really easy and quick to sign up for a library card too.

This could easily rival many main branches of most libraries. I was here for a bit to get out of the hotel room and do a bit of exploring. On the second floor are several tables with power to the surface. Comfortable seating. And a wifi network that worked really well. Big areas with stacks of books and a large parking lot. It is all you need and I am a fan. [Review 11629 overall, 1410 of 2019.]
