The Bothell Library was my go-to library until they closed for remodeling. For a while, I had to go to the Kenmore Library, which is less convenient, smaller and has limited parking. I'm very happy to see my neighborhood Bothell Library open again for business! Although it seemed to have taken a while to complete, they did a great job on the renovation! Library is appealing on many levels and looks shiny new. There is a large parking lot which allows more patrons to utilize this location. I particularly enjoy that Bothell has two outside self check in book drops with 5 minute parking right in front. Super convenient. There is also another book self drop inside in the lobby. This previous visit, I had a book hold transferred over to the Bothell location specifically so I could peek inside and see the renovations. A Welcome Information desk is located right as you walk in and was staffed by two librarians. The Check Out was to the right which was also staffed and self check out had many scanners available to get in and out conveniently. I was greeted by friendly faces and offered endless help. I picked up my "hold book" and checked out seamlessly. The Children's section looked inviting and had quite a bit of titles and a specific reading nook area set aside for story time. A nice perk for parents to select books and not have children running about. I'm happy to see the Bothell Library open once again. With all of the renovations happening in downtown Bothell, the Library will also have its own fresh coat of paint. read more
