Scenic location in the woods with decent book selection with lots of computers. Compared to other libraries I think this place has a lot more to offer than its neighbors. Worth checking out!

This life decision was spurred by my daughter's (age 4) interest in books and reading! We found the Covington library and we were thoroughly impressed. The lay out of the library is well designed and easy to find the kids section. There are computers available to use and I was partial to the vending machine for snacks. There are private rooms to reserve and plenty of space to move about. The book selections were vast and the staff was very helpful when we signed up for our library card. The nice thing is that you can return your books to any king county library so even if we're not near covington, we have options. Excited we found this location!

A library card is free! I've been helped quickly on a few occasions without judgment for some of my goofy questions in trying to locate some books or using equipment. This is one of the quietest and the most clean libraries I've been to. They take their time posting ads in the front lobby about community events held at the library and in town. They hold events here like chess, family story time, social workers helping folks with resources, book clubs and master gardening. They have tote bags available for borrowing as well to take your items to/from home which I think is pretty convenient if you forget your own or end up borrowing more than you intended. You're permitted to print in color or black and white from the computer stations on a weekly basis, up to what would be a cost of $11.25 for free. 1 black and white page is $0.15, and 1 color page is $0.50. Once you hit the $11.25 in the week of what you have printed, THEN you have to actually pay for the printing. It's free up to that point. This is for all libraries within the county. You can reserve a computer to use online at home ahead of time so it's ready for you when you arrive. I think that's really cool. Even though this library is smaller and the selection is too, you can go online while there or via your own devices and get anything within King County sent to Fairwood for you to pick-up. The parking lot is large and has easy access. There are conference rooms and study rooms to rent/use and community events. They also have a scanner, copier, and fax machine. There's a ballot box out front as well as a drop-off box but it's in the building, no drive-up drop-off.

I'm a huge fan of libraries! And what's especially cool about the King County Library System is…read morethat you can go to any branch within the KCLS system and check out and return items, even if it's not your primary branch. It's convenient to access the different KCLS branches if in the area, so when we were in Issaquah, I decided to check out what this library had to offer. Located on Front Street in Issaquah the branch is a good size for services and such. It's smaller than my primary branch, but is larger than other ones I've been to. There was a large meeting space right by the entrance, that you can reserve for free. Parking on Front Street is pretty easy to find; however, I did see a parking lot behind the library. There was also a Friend Shop where you can purchase used books for two bucks or so. And though it's not in a separate room, it's located in the entrance way of the building and has an honor system where you put your money in the cashbox. There seemed to be plenty of space for tables and chairs spread out throughout the library for lounging, in addition to a couple study rooms. Book selection was average, but saw that the DVD selection had a better assortment of TV shows than my Bellevue branch. It's nice to know that when in Issaquah I can check out this location for what it may offer and utilize the same services that I can at my primary branch.

You are allowed so many pages to print for free weekly up to a certain amount in b&w or color. My printer died, and I don't have the funds right now to get a new one, so the library has been a saving grace for me. I also have had to use the scanner/fax option to get things in, and it's really a blessing, considering it is 50 cents a page to do this at FedEx Kinkos and it's free at the library.

The area around the library has been under construction for a number of years. I agree with a…read moreprevious post that parking is tricky because there's limited space around the area. I'm not a fan of parking garages. The library itself is spacious and very open. The high ceilings and bright natural lights greet you as you walk through the door. There are plenty of rooms for studying/conferences. The librarian is so helpful. There isn't enough self checkout computers. Also, they close early on the weekdays (I think 5pm). Bummed that they don't have handy little paper/pencils to jot the codes (location) down near the lib catalogs. My old dementia brain can't remember anything. Pro tip: if you need a particular book, it's better just to put it on hold. Said that it was available but couldn't find it.

We were pleasantly surprised to be meeting friends in this area on a day when the library was…read morehaving an outdoor special event. I have to say, the staff at this library set the bar HIGH for KCLS - engaging my children (even the shy one glued to my leg) in what they like to read, finding books for them that they haven't read before but match some of their interests and validating their opinions about the books they were reading. They also ran a tight ship organizing a popular summer lunch program. On this particular day, there weren't enough bag lunches for the number of people who came - but they scrambled and arranged for more. Wish we lived closer so we could enjoy this beautiful community more!

During that time, you could place your books on hold and schedule a pick up time. My favorite part was that I could add a 'surprise bag' of books for my toddler, and they would set aside 10 awesome selections. Such a time saver! Granted, it's not the biggest branch, but I can always have any book sent here and held for pick up if I don't mind waiting. Overall, an awesome library!
