    I'm a sick old person on oxygen. Lol. The Librarian helped me fax some copy and saved me a lot of time!

    This library has a great kids section and helpful librarians. My kids come…read moreBack every month to do the scavenger hunt. Easy to get a card and comfy tables to work at while my kids pick out books

    This is going to be a rant, but I am not happy. I used to go to the Gonzales Branch Library all the…read moretime, mainly for the idea lab. It was hands down one of the best things the city had to offer. The staff in the lab were always chill, helpful, and actually seemed to care about people getting creative and making stuff. It wasn't just a room with some machines, it had life. People were learning, sharing ideas, making dope a projects. It actually felt like a community. Now? It's been CLOSED for almost FOUR MONTHS. A quarter of a damn year. For "staffing issues." How long does it take to hire and train a few people for a space that isn't even open all day? Who the hell is running this place? When I have brought it up to staff, they basically agreed that whoever in charge has no clue what they're doing. They didn't say it outright, but you know how to tell when someones like, your not wrong but the walls have eyes and ears. If even the employees are frustrated, what does that tell you? How do you think people in the community like me who cant use the space feel? Meanwhile, the space just sits there, locked up, collecting dust, while our tax dollars are still paying for it. And on top of that, parking at this location is already trash, and when I asked about it, the guy at the front desk smirked and told me to "get used to it" because once the construction next door is done, there won't even be a parking lot anymore. So now we have a closed idea lab and a library that's about to be even harder to get to. Seriously, who thought this was a good idea? And let's talk about this excuse of "improving our experience," as I was told one of the times I dropped in to see if its open again. How does shutting it down completely improve anything? That's straight up nonsense. I asked around, trying to get a real answer, and staff either didn't know or wouldnt say. It was like they were keeping some big secret. Makes you wonder if something shady went down in there. But honestly, even if something shady did happen it doesnt even matter what that was because at this point the real shady thing is whoever is in charge of getting this place running just not getting it done. That is the real crime here. I even went to another idea lab across town, hoping for something similar, and it was dead. No energy, no community feel, just cold and boring. Gonzales had something special, and now it's just gone, and at this point I have to blame mismanagement at the top. Four months is more than enough time to train someone for a whole new job. You could build a small house in that time. But they cant figure out how to staff a room that was only open a few hours a day? Either someone in charge is straight up bad at their job, or they just don't care. So what's really going on? If staffing is the issue, tell people why you have all this staff sitting around at desks all around the place and cant get a person in there to open the place. And let me be real here, staff are only sitting there at those desks because thats what their boss or bosses want them to do. That is the priority of the higher ups or the bosses boss. If there's a plan to reopen, share it. At this point leadership has screwed up, own it and dont keep us in the dark like were idiots. Open the idea lab back up, or at least give the community some real answers. We deserve better than this.
