I was a little disappointed in this library. With some of the newer libraries in the area (like…read moreNewport and Independence), I guess I'm a little jaded. It was plenty busy when I was there on an afternoon between 4-5 p.m. I like that most (if not all) of the library branches in N. KY seem to be open seven days a week. That was not the case where I lived in E. TN. Anyway, I sought out this branch because of a little blip I saw in some local publication about a Princess Diana exhibit. I expected more than a couple of glass bookshelves with paper dolls, some magazine covers and some collector plates. I would have appreciated some related biographies, newspaper article clippings, etc. But back to the library itself, nice children's area and plenty of public use computers.

There are so many reading groups and activities. And many great authors visit. You do not have to be a member to visit the library, there are too many benefits to list them all. Sign up for a tour! A household membership works out to be about 30 cents a day. A student membership is only $30 per year!

It's an event venue, it's a maker's space, it's a community resource, and it's central to Cincinnati's history. My personal favorite thing is that the Main library is starting to host after hours event. There was a Booked for the Night event where we got to do behind-the-scenes tours, snack at numerous food stations, and our ticket even included drinks. I hope they continue to have more evening events. It's the biggest library in the system, of course, so it's one of the best places to wander around and find a book that you never would have known otherwise. The maker space is next level. I always love a drive-thru for when I don't feel like getting out of my car. There is always something for everyone at the library, but especially at this branch. Check it out! (Get it??)

Whether it's via a book, the internet, a movie or a small group meeting, the Hamilton County Walnut Hills Library is worth the visit. The staff immediately greets you with a friendly "Hello, how can we assist you?" I've utilized the library in many ways such as: sending faxes, checking out a laptop to use while visiting, finding that one book I haven't read since high school and checking out my favorite movie to watch. They have comfy seating areas and small, private rooms for reservations. The library provides a quiet, clean place to relax and read and a place for the family to come together for quiet activities. They even provide fun chess game competitions. Maybe its time to give this library another "look" and explore everything it has to offer!

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.
