    Big plus.

    Dual-flush toilets! See pic. And ALOT of people suck at putting trash in the basket.

    Conference room

    This library offers two stories of books, a huge conference room that can be checked out, and unfortunately, bathroom stalls that might barely be 3-feet tall. I brushed it off, thinking to myself that it must be for child safety or something like that. While washing my hands, I made eye contact with a man while he was sitting on the toilet. DO YOU EVEN KNOW how uncomfortable it is to make eye contact with a random stranger while they are pooping? Let alone a drunk, homeless stranger? I truly hope you never have to endure it. He wouldn't stop complaining about the breach of privacy and poor design of the miniature bathroom stalls. SO many swear words. I will NEVER EVER EVER NEVER EVER be back to this library. I literally ran out of the restroom, hoping to never see the man again. So far so good. Permanently scarred though.

    I tried to enjoy this library as much as I could because I had my crazy 2 year old with me. But its a very pleasant place to bring your children, yourself or friends. Very new, updated and clean. Organized and a cute space for you to bring your kids to study. Quiet like it should be and located in the heart of Burien. Close to tons of little stores and restaurants, so if you're spending an entire day studying here you won't have to worry about starving.

    This place is perfectly located in downtown Burien 2 blocks away from where I live. I've been coming here a lot recently. I love their quit area on the second floor! Perfect place to get all your ducks in a row.

    See all

    A friendly environment awaits, and the library also offers a meeting room that can be reserved for gatherings.

    Good place to study. Places to plug in. Lots of places to sit. In a good area to catch a bite. I'd recommend it!
