    The Bartlett library is a gem. The staff is always so knowledgeable and willing to help. They have…read moregreat book sales. They are so sweet and kind and help you find what you need. No matter what you're into, there's a book for that. I encourage you to stop by and grab a book to read. Reading is the exercise your brain needs and the Bartlett library staff will help you find something you'll actually enjoy reading.

    I'm sitting here in the library trying to write as many reviews on Yelp as I can.The hotel staff…read morekicked me out earlier so they could clean my room so i decided to take a drive anywhere. This library is far from being comfortable but it's at least functional.Its kind of loud and more family orientated.Maybe because its just Saturday. They have an adult fiction, childrens,young adult, adult non fiction section.The printers are located up front near the check out.Also up front is the computer sign up which is more towards the middle.The information desk is next to the computers and everything else is around in the front or the behind..Basically you wont get lost anywhere in this place. The people seem pretty nice I guess.My cousin called me twice and this old lady gave me a look like I was disturbing the peace.She chooses to ignore the others talking and the rowdy kids earlier but I guess that didn't matter. This isn't really the greatest place to study or think but I'm sure they do have some info in here.Its a library afterall.

    It's been a long time since I visited a bookstore. When my child was younger we would go every…read moreweekend. I enjoyed my day exploring the books, I was helped by very nice employees who seem to love working there and I would happily return. They had some really good prices on journaling materials and other books were also marked down. I didn't find what I was looking for but I did discover so much more.

    This review is specifically for the Starbucks café inside Barnes & Noble. The customer service here…read moreis some of the worst I've experienced. We stopped by to kill some time before our movie, and I decided to grab some snacks before we leave. The cashier who took our order was not very friendly, and not surprising either given past experiences here. After waiting for a bit, our bakery items still hadn't been handed to us so I went to check. One of the baristas (I believe her name was Courtney?) didn't acknowledge me at first and curtly asked if I had already ordered. I explained that we had a movie in 10 minutes and just needed our bakery items. Instead of simply grabbing them for me, she responded with a rude attitude saying orders are processed in the order received. I would understand if I had ordered a drink but I was just waiting on cookies and a brownie, something that takes zero effort to grab. The interaction could have been handled much better and unfortunately this level of service seems to be the norm here. That being said, aside from the unfriendly baristas, this Barnes & Nobles is clean and well organized.

    This is an open letter to the black security man at the entrance with the salt/pepper beard:…read more Dear Sir, I came in today, and you were nice to me. Thank you. I sat down on the bench by the office door like you told me to. I was next to a 20-ish black male. He and I both witnessed you absolutely verbally abusing the people that came through the door. At first I was amused...but then I realized you were unhinged. You called a white couple that merely questioned where to go "aggressive" several times. We saw the whole thing go down. No aggressiveness, except for YOU. We saw you talk down to a Hispanic male, telling him you KNEW he knew English and that he needed to take a seat and stop playing. (Are you a clairvoyant? How do you know the linguistic capabilities of people who just walk in the door?) We saw you berate a woman, a man, and another couple. Finally, the young man next to me addressed you: "Hey Security guard - I'm calling your supervisor. You're talking crazy to these people". You bucked up to him and challenged him to do so. And THEN - I witnessed you use some self control. You acted a little more professionally. This tells me that you are capable of being in control of yourself and that you were aware of your actions. There was NO excuse for how you behaved today. Even if I was not the recipient of your verbal abuse, I was extremely troubled with how you handled the public as they came in to do their business today. If I spoke like that at my job, I would promptly be fired, and rightfully so. You, sir, need to retire, find a different job, or go through some therapy. You are obviously too comfortable in your job, you don't like the people you serve, and you don't fear ramifications of your behavior. Oh, and the information you spat out at me like it was the Gospel was wrong. You are not God. You need God.

    After reading the negative reviews from others, I have to admit that I was a nervous wreck walking…read moreinto this facility. However, I had a pleasant experience today. I arrived 40 mins prior to opening and there were 15 people ahead of me to get into the building. The security officer opened the door at precisely 9am and was cordial in guiding everyone through the metal detector. I pulled a number for new vehicle registration and only 4 people were ahead of me. I received my registration and tags and was out the door within 19 minutes. All of the customer service representatives I observed were pleasant and helpful with customers. I'm glad this was my experience and wish the same for everyone else.
