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!!

It's clean, good sized, and has a great selection of books. I always enjoy the various sections they have with new books, staff selections, and more based on different topics/interests. There's a meeting room in the back right corner which, I assume, you can rent out. If you're needing to use a computer, there were 10 or so set up at a station towards the back. The only thing I wish they had (and perhaps I'm just not seeing it) is self check out for your books.

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.]

This library is fantastic and everything a library should be as a resource for our community! If…read moreyou have only been coming here to vote, you are missing out. Not only is it beautifully designed with plenty of areas to read and work, but it also offers services such as 3D printing, streaming movie services, and the NC Collection, a fantastic resource for anyone looking into their ancestry. Two things I want to highlight: 1) the seed library (free seeds!) and 2) events. The library (not just this one but all of the libraries) has fantastic events for adults as well as kids. For example, I went to a meeting of the Nicholas Cage movie club, and it was so fun. They also offer lectures on a wide range of interesting topics (the paranormal, ham radios, etc.) as well as practical classes (computer classes for seniors and Spanish classes). I could go on and on-- the library is a fantastic resource in our community that has something for everyone.

In addition to the books, its decor is attractive and its atmosphere cheerful and welcoming. Works by local artisans is prominently displayed, and the interior is well lit - my husband, who is visually, had no trouble navigating. In fact, if you're disabled and use a wheelchair, you'll find it delightfully accessible and very easy to navigate. The aisles are wide and there's an elevator to the upper floors. The selection of books is OUTSTANDING. Every genre is welI stocked, and I really, really appreciated the great selection of fantasy/sci-fi books. I'm an older reader who well remembers the era when public libraries paid little attention to this type of lit and reading fans had to buy their own books. ALL types of fiction are generously stocked, the biography section is outstanding and I found so many great books on sewing and crafts that were so informative I ordered my own copies of some of them. There's ample seating if you want to spend time reading onsite, and the staff is very welcoming and helpful. This library is a local reader's delight.

MY FAVORITE PLACE EVER…read more Not because the campus is huge and 10 minutes away from home. But because the library is hugenormous. It is open 24 hours and only till 10 for the public. They have computers and lounges and quite rooms. Have I mentioned I love books? The fact that this place is accessible at all hours and has direct sources neighbored, I am one move away from becoming a student just because of it. They have lots of little areas with different chairs and tables to divide them. A coffee shop which is nothing but the obvious neccessity. Oh, and I like that they have these tables in which students can write on to study. Pretty cool right? I learn something new everytime. (pun intended) :)

This place is open until 1 am on some days since it is attached to the library. You do not have to enter the library to get ice cream. They have a window right by Hillsborough street. Locally produced by the university, this is a must try if you are visiting or living in the triangle area. My favorite flavor from there is s'mores. Also, their milkshakes are too good!

Very clean library but honestly even after the multi million dollar remodel, this location is still very small and not very well stocked.
