    I came here to try the Wi-Fi here to install the MoS system on my old MacBook. Unlike Starbucks Wi-Fi, it works! I'm super happy. The staff are super friendly, the library is much bigger than i thought. It also has a nice cafe. Plenty chairs and desk so you can sit down with your laptop doing some work or just reading a book. You don't really need a library card to get in and sit down. I guess you will only need that if u want to borrow something from the library. It's so close to home, i think this will be a place to go on a rainy day!

    My family and patronized this library since it opened 12 years ago. I like it that it is opened late at night to cater to everyone. It is also open during the weekends. I currently have a book club, and this library offers book club kit which you have to sign up online to avail of this service. This place is huge! It has everything you are possibly looking for, if the library don't have it onsite the librarian can help you look for it on the database. I also like it that the library has the online digital services, as long g as you have an account with the library you can sign up and can borrow online, and pick up your items at the library at the kiosk . One perk is you can also sync your library account with overdrive app and can borrow digital books or audiobooks. The librarians seemed very helpful, attendant helpful with me when I was there, I was trying to locate a particular book and I was so pleased on how fast everyone seemed to help their costumers.

    This is one of the most unique libraries I've been to. They facilitate lots of programs, concerts, educational experiences and other events. There are conference rooms available to the public so it's even possible to work there. As an entrepreneur I appreciate public spaces that accommodate business needs. As a mom, I love that the kid area is huge and pretty closed off from the rest of the library--so you don't have to worry about being quiet. There are areas to play, areas to read quietly, areas to study and use computers. This library even has a café! I haven't ordered anything yet but my appetite is piqued. There is just so much space! The facilities are modern, clean and the staff is friendly. In this library whether you want a place to quietly withdraw or meet a group and socialize, you will find a spot. Even if you're not looking for a book, this library is A great way to spend a few hours.

    This newly built branch of the Boone County Public Library system serves as its headquarters. Crowned with a spectacular (and controversial) copper dome, this 75,000 square feet library has ten meeting rooms, nearly fifty public computers, and an enormous children's library with spacious play area. I'll get my only yet substantial complaint out of the way: for a main library branch, this place doesn't have many books. I'm not talking about obscure or overly specialized texts. Several times, I've looked for classics by Dostoevsky or Faulkner or general interest books on subjects like web programming to no avail. These books are available at other branches and the helpful librarians will be happy to have them transferred, but I'm kind of impatient. However, the library has an amazing youth section (actually half on an entire floor) located on the second floor. From baby-proof picture books to teenage tomes, this extensive collection will have something for younger readers to enjoy. There's also a play area with puzzles, puppets, bead mazes, trucks, dolls, and big cushiony stuffed animals, as well as several computers with educational games, in the enclosed children's library. I'm not going to knock this branch too much for its lack of books (the library isn't a year old yet) because the staff's superior customer service makes up for it. Additionally, this library serves as a much needed community education and outreach facility for citizens of all ages.

    This Library is Awesome! I love the look of this place - all the way from the moment you drive up to it, to every space in the place. I wanted to start snapping pics for Yelp but since I was the driver, I thought I better wait until I stopped. I did take one, but it was unseasonably freezing so that's all you get.. I was with a group of Human Resource colleagues who met in their meeting room which is perfect with cushy seats and big windows. The hostess always make us feel so welcome to be there.

    Organized chaos, but it works for me

    If you need (almost)anything media related(within reason), look no further. Looking for answers that are difficult to find, just ask anyone who works here. If they do not know, they will find out. Everything I needed was provided, and much more. DO NOT OVERLOOK the lil cafe and delicious foodstuffs that are sold INSIDE!Probably the most well thought out library I have had the pleasure of visiting and utilizing(except for the one we found on a patrol in Afghanistan, that was just surreal). I can't wait for tonight's event of the experiences related by a survivor of World War II. So take it from someone that has seen libraries in 19 different countries and 36 different states, y'all are lucky here in Kentucky! Thank you very much. "Nolite scientia non quaeritis"

    This continues to be my and my children's favorite branch in the Hamilton County system of…read morelibraries. Yes it is small. Yes it has a small parking area. So why is this branch our favorite? The customer service here is impeccable! We moved, and this branch is too far away to come to with any regularity. We have tried several other branches near our new home. None of them come close to the special place these librarians create. The Miami Township Library has created a magical place for children. If the children really respond positively to a particular song, Miss Kathy will work it into future programs. The librarians try and learn every child's name. This makes the children feel special. Another way they make the childen feel special is that they interact with the children before and after the programs. At the other branches we have tried, there are children who are clearly regulars. Those librarians show little to no recognition of them. They don't seem to try and get to know the children, new or regular. My youngest is always disappointed when we go elsewhere. Those librarians don't hold a candle to Miss Kathy, and all the other librarians and volunteers who make the Miami Township branch so remarkable. All the early mentioned hiccups have work arounds. The branch may be small, but items may be transferred here from other locations. Place the transfer from home, either online or over the phone, and the book/media items are to this location in roughly three days. Transfers may also be placed in branch. Additional parking may be found on the other side of the building, at the community senior center.

Our speaker was Debbie Beckett, Travel Advisor from ATD cruises & more. There was no pressure to purchase anything, simply a light informative meeting that was fun to attend. The meetings are held in the "Depot room " at the library. I enjoyed learning some new interesting facts about the Hawaiian islands, as well as several travel tips. We also had a free prize drawing, and yea Me, I was the lucky winner. I have an aloha bag, with coffee cup, beach towel and flower lei. I'm all set Mark your calendars for June 10th, 2019 at 6:00. The next meeting will be about visiting National Parks.

    It's a great library for such a small town. They expanded recently and now have a huge children's…read moresection, more meeting space, and a little cafe. There isn't always a lot going on in Lawrenceburg, and the library does the best they can to remedy that. There is always some sort of event going on here, from educational speakers, reading hours for kids, or even concerts. They also have art shows pretty often with lots of unique stuff. I grew up in the area, and although there really aren't a lot of things I can claim to love about Lawrenceburg, the library has always been a little haven for me. Also, they carry all of my mom's books (quick promo for MIchele Stegman) so I have to give them major props for that!
