They have a really neat kids section with a fun jungle themed sitting area for the kids with stuffed jungle animals to sit on and really neat murals on the wall. I like this library a lot because it has the technology to easily do research and browse through the electronic catalogs, but yet still has the old school library feel to it. The staff has always been friendly and extremely knowledgeable when you have a question. The drop off is a little hard to fin at first, I wish it had a big red sign or arrow pointing to it, it can easily be missed!

It's been awhile since my last review of the SE Library, so it's time to update my review. But,…read moreagain, full disclosure, as it's a library, it gets five stars. Unless, the employees are mean, all libraries get five stars. So, with that understanding, on to the review! The building, inside and out, is nice, but it is definitely small, when compared to most other area library at least. The downside to the size of this library is that it is hard to find a spot to actually read because this is a rather popular library. Realistically though, you can just take your books home, if there really is not a place to sit and read. But, if you're looking to study, you may want to call ahead to see if they have some kind of study space available or to at least get a feeling for how busy they are that day. And, speaking of studying, this library also has computer stations available. You have to sign up, but it's a pretty quick process. And, along with the size comes a reduced selection as the book selection is not extensive. But, you do not have to worry about wasting your time looking for a particular book because they have an online catalog. However, they do have a rather extensive collection of DVDs, with a few Blu-Rays thrown in as well. Again, if you're looking for something specific, you should call ahead or check out their online catalog. The children's section is separated from the rest of the library, and it even has its own separate computer stations available, just for the kids. I appreciate this type of firewall because it keeps the kids out of my area. And, the staff there is always watching, so you can feel safe taking your kids here. As for the staff, they are warm and courteous. If you need help, they will do whatever they can to make sure you get what you need. And, of course, as with any library, they have community boards (near the front doors) that advertise groups, story times, community events, and the like. It's a quick way to get the rundown on what's going on in our community, and some of the groups are interesting. All in all, I recommend this library if you're in the area. Of course, if you're not, check out YOUR local library. I'm sure it's cool too.

I love the library.

Now onto specifics, this library is tucked away off Greek Oaks, near the dog park and animal center, and has plenty of parking, though on a busy day you might find yourself parked off onto the side. I signed up for a card here, and found the process painless thanks to the friendliness of the staff here. I've also had trouble locating books and again immediately received assistance from the awesome staff. Computers/ work stations/ tables can get crowded, so if you're here to study, you might need to take the walk around a few times to get your ideal spot, and while doing so perhaps pick up a presidential auto-biography...wait, that was me...maybe I also picked up a YA novel. They offer a self checkout, which is quick and easy. and also they have a small coffee machine, it costs a dollar, but hey, perfect study fuel. Computers also offered, and also a children's section of the library. Friendly staff and books/ media galore? Yes please! Great place.

Many programs are offered every week for people of all ages. The property is well maintained. The staff has always been lovely. Very helpful and friendly. There is a pretty decent selection of books, movies, etc. but I feel like if you are looking for newer items, it has to come from the Main library. The renovation and expansion to the library is great; however, I wish there would have somehow been more parking spaces added. For some events (many), there is nothing available in the lot. Even on the right lane of the street, which the library uses for parking on busy days. One last note, this library can and usually is very noisy. There are many children's toys, which are being thrown around. Lots of running and screaming. I did notice today that they put a new sign up with rules. People have loud conversations on their cell phones while on the computer. It's definitely not a place where you can expect to study or focus at any given time.
