It's clean, bright, and appears to have terrific resources. If I were a local, this is a branch where I'd come regularly to research and write. If you're like me and are traveling in from out of town, this is the closest branch to the airport--a short cab ride away--where you can come and get some work done.

This library has done some awesome updates when it was rebuilt. Everything is much more hi-tech. I…read morelove the room with the fireplace!

I spent about two hours here this afternoon at this beautiful, modern library, and it made a strong…read morefirst impression. The building is open and bright, with plenty of seating spread throughout the space and I had no trouble finding a table with power nearby so that I could settle in and send a few emails. It's the kind of place where you can get a lot done without feeling crowded and the overall atmosphere is calm in a way that makes focusing pretty easy. The only real bummer is the study room policy. They only allow library card holders (i.e., residents) to use them, which meant that I had to leave before my Zoom meeting so that I wasn't disturbing other patrons. I would have stayed longer otherwise, because everything else about the visit was great. Even with that limitation, it's a well-designed and welcoming library, and worth a stop if you're in the Dayton area. [Review 964 of 2026 - 340 in Ohio - 26143 overall]

Woodbourne Library is one of two branches of the Washington-Centervile Library system, with the…read moreother being the Centerville Library located just 3 miles south from this location. As of this review, it's open from 10am-9pm during the week, 10am-5pm on Saturdays and 1pm-5pm on Sundays. All Dayton Metro Library branches are closed on Sundays, so this is a nice option to have in the area. The most recent renovation and expansion to this facility occurred in 2018, and it remains clean and well-maintained. Reservable spaces include three 'quiet' rooms for up to 4 people, two meeting rooms for 4-6 people, a creative space for up to 20 people, and a large community room for up to 80 people. Of note, the three quiet rooms have a single, small round table, which makes it difficult for more than 2 people to use at the same time. The meeting rooms are located in the middle of the library and lack windows to the outside. Other spaces include a few scattered smaller tables in the front of the library and one 4 person table in the far back corner which is usually highly sought after as it is isolated from the other areas and provides some privacy. In addition, there are four 4-person tables in the middle with outlets, and three 2-person tables adjacent to these, although without outlet access. In another area, they have some other 2-person tables with dividers in the middle thus making them individual spots. There are lots of reading chairs spread throughout. Although this may sound like a lot, the tables (particularly the 4-person ones) fill up rather quickly, so I've always thought they could use a few more. I've also noticed that this library is rather busy most of the time, especially compared to some of the others in the area.

We only saw a bit of the library itself. We were there for the Aviation Trail, and sadly the…read morearchives weren't open yet- I think they are open noon-4.

It is a small space, but it is packed with history and details about the Wright Brothers early beginnings in the bicycle industry. There are displays of historic bicycles and a few hands on demonstrations comparing early bicycles to flight. It was cool seeing how they envisioned and executed using bicycle parts into their eventual airplanes. Absolutely worth a visit if you are learning about aviation history.

I joined one of the guided tours, and the park ranger walked us through the memorabilia and stories tucked into the building, connecting the dots between the brothers' bicycle business and the spark that eventually led to powered flight. It's a company space that is packed with interesting details and the ranger's explanations made the whole visit feel more alive. Learning about the birthplace of aviation hit even harder here since I've been to Kitty Hawk and stood at the launch site on the beach, so seeing where the ideas were born added a nice sense of full circle. The shop is simple, authentic, and worth the stop in Dayton and exploring the aviation trail. [Review 972 of 2026 - 348 in Ohio - 26151 overall]

Naturally, we headed over to check it out when we saw it was open. The building is both very impressive architecturally, as well as a really great library. The kids section is so neat, with a lot of fun little touches all around the inviting space, such as play areas, school supplies, and more. There was a cool zoo program going on when we came in, which was quite fun to see!

The library has printers, copiers, fax machines and everything else I need to use to complete my tasks or assignments. The staff have ALL been FANTASTIC, friendly, are knowledgeable and help me out every time I can't figure out how to do something on the computers. They have saved me a lot of time & stress by using their skills. THANKS LANE PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR BEING AVAILABLE TO USE AND HAVING STAFF THAT KNOW HOW TO FIX MY "Boo-Boos" ONLINE!!!!

We visited yesterday for my teenage daughter to take her driving test. Although busy, as soon as…read morewe walked in, those working at the BMV and giving driving tests were kind, helpful and put people at ease. As I waited for my daughter to be called and why my daughter was taking her test, I watched several driving test staff come out and call names to take someone out for their test and every single staff member was kind, warm, smiled and engaged with the person. I watched an anxiety decreased among every single person who was being tested. The feedback to my daughter after her test was intentional and kind. As she passed, we then had to go to the other section of the BMV to get her license and again, every person we encountered was lovely. This BMV was extremely busy, but it was like a well-oiled machine. Everything moved fairly quickly and every person we encountered was great. Thank you Huber Heights BMV for just being all around stellar. You made going to the BMV a great experience - which can be hard to do! Thank you and we appreciate you!

This location has always taken care of us, even when other BMVs told us "no". My husband had an…read moreexpired NM license, but was on active duty in the military, so it was still considered a valid license by NM's laws. Just before he retired from the military, he went to get an Ohio license and was told by another location that he'd need to take the driver's license test, since his license was expired. We came to THIS location, and they figured out how to get him an Ohio license without having to take the written and driving exam. Today we came to register a new vehicle and found that they have changed their system (due to COVID) and now screen you when you walk in, give you a number, and direct you to stand on one of the circles on the floor that are 6 feet apart until your number is called. We were out of there in under 15 minutes. Everyone who works there is always friendly and polite.
