    Modern library, though the layout is both good and bad. Good flow but bad for noise…read more Kids area transmit sound to magazine and all other areas, the librarians behind desk are often too loud conversing with each other or patrons (due to bad layout and periods of boredom when there is no one there?). And Frequent flopping of the swing door and some staff loudly putting stuff away (think angry dishwasher loading)...ugh They need a glass partition like at the library in Sedalia, more study rooms... I've rarely seen any students even during peak after school hours... They need to rearrange the the tables and move some librarians from the cluster area... I tried moving to different areas but noise/sound seeps into every area...the architect or interior designer needs to get a sound meter and understanding of how sound travels...though it's on the staff now and hopefully they will figure out a better rearrangement...and vacuum the seats to remove the cat/dog/human hair/dust. *To staffs credit they sometimes spray the seats and pipe instrumental music in the center to offset noise...and reduce fees on faxing (Camden libraries have free outgoing).

    Looking for a place to kill time before a meeting, I remembered that all small towns have decent…read morelibraries with free wi-fi, even if they don't have a Starbucks. This particular library is outstanding, spotlessly clean and a heavenly place to visit on a hot, sticky day. The librarians had some very classical music playing in the background and the a/c was perfect. There are plenty of comfy chairs and tables, lots of good light and super clean restrooms. I found a plug by one of the comfy chairs to charge my phone and check my email. Beware though, there is a strict NO CELLPHONE policy in place. I'm thinking texting and checking email is okay, chatting is not. Check the used book section as you come in, I bought two hard back books in perfect condition for .50 each!! There is a large children's section and the requisite public computers. What an oasis in the middle of nowhere, this lovely library is. Unfortunately, they will lose a star because as I was leaving at 5pm (they close at 5:30) I heard the librarian say "Hey folks, I'm going to shut the wi-fi down." Are you kidding me? Is that wi-fi switch on top of a big mountain, accessible only by helicopter? Lame, our taxes pay your salary, this place is very important to so many people. Please don't do this close early because one of you wants to go home early.

    This will be a somewhat biased review. Why? Because I work here and I love libraries…read more Trails Regional Library-Lexington, has a lot to offer. It not only has a large collection, but it also promotes literacy throughout the community of Lexington. The library is striving to challenge the stereotype that libraries are boring, dusty buildings filled with old people.

Programs the library has held in 2011: Adults: Political Round-table Talks, Card Making with the Cricut classes, Green Ideas Workshops, Adult "Lunch-time" Book Club, Adult Summer Reading Program, 19th Century Rugs w/ author Maggie Bonanomi, Recycled Art Demonstrations, Computer 101/Basic Internet/Email 101 classes Teens: Book Spine Poetry, Anime Afternoon, Halo Tournament, Super Smash Bros. Brawl Tournament, Madden Tournament, International Film Festival, Teens Travel: Japan, We Play Wii Afternoon, Movie Morning, Soap Making School Age Children: Passport World Cultures Program, Lets Eat!, Explore Russia, Wii Afternoon, Arts and Crafts Afternoon, Woodland Adventure Story Time, Wings of Love Bird Show, Brian Wendling: Juggler and Entertainer Preschool: Preschool Story Time (every Wednesday @ 10:00), special story time's throughout the year The library is an integral part of the community and goes out of its way to accommodate its patrons! You should definitely stop to say hello, we would love to meet you!
