Baltimore Review 6/Many: I stopped in this nice library a few days ago while traveling through…read moreBaltimore, looking to escape the heat with a few others and also to go to the bathroom. The ceiling here is gorgeous, and I like the listing of the various services offered to people in the area. Apparently, there was a guy who he thought was clearly high or similar, staring at anyone entering the men's bathroom. From the bit I interacted with the staff, they seemed friendly and helpful. I looked through a bit of their offerings, and they had a surprisingly large number of old films to rent, among other things. In short, a nice place to visit and take a load off.

This isn't my first choice in libraries as it's not necessarily the closest to me, however it might…read morehave to be. This location is utterly breathtaking in terms of accessibility for people in the city and the architecture. I champion all libraries and we should be flooding them to take advantage of the clubs, panels, classes, and other resources. Today I checked out the Carmelo Anthony exhibit which has been extended to the 19th of January. It's completely FREE! It was truly a great exhibit and so amazing to see and relearn about so many pivotal points in his career, community impacts and soundtrack to his life and career. You also can sign up for a Melo library card (limited edition)!! I think this is a great initiative to get people into the library again and reintroduce why the library is an amazing place to be!

I visited the Calvert Library with my wife and our two granddaughters for story time, and we had…read moresuch a great experience. The staff are warm and welcoming -- they start by going around the room to meet everyone, then teach a few simple sign language signs before turning them into a fun song. After that, there's another song, and the leader talks about the months, weeks, days, the weather outside, and what season it is. Then they read a book or two and finish with a fun activity for the kids. I may have missed 1-2 things in there It's really well organized and enjoyable -- a wonderful place for families and little ones to learn and have fun together. The girls 2-3 really had a great time, afterwards we go out to the play area and they play with some off the other children that stay after. Excellent

This is like my 3rd visit. Yes, I am a part- time reseller. I was just told that resellers are…read morebasically not welcomed here. There is a 25 item limit. This is fine but what if I wanted to purchase more than 15 items. I don't see a rush to purchase these used books. I am a reader too but I have very little time to read. I have a very busy schedule. The life of a reseller is busy. I was approached by a worker who had apparently already counted my books that I had set off to the side. She said, "you have almost reached your limit". Money is money. I mean technically speaking i could go back in and get 25 more if I wanted to be petty. You can't even make an honest living these days. I'll stick to my home library. Charles County. There is no limit. Smh.

Great place to grab a coffee, flip through some books, and just hang out for a bit. It's got a relaxed vibe. If you've got kids, it's an easy win; there's a small reading area inside and a patio with this cool little wooden playhouse that kept mine busy for a while. We ended up staying way longer than planned just chilling. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I want something easy and laid-back.

This Library is very cool!…read more This was my first time visiting this library and I was very impressed with how aesthetically pleasing it looks on the inside, how many breakout rooms there were, a gaming room, separated area's for children's play, teenagers, study space/working space, lounge space for older patrons with bigger lounge chairs, etc. I spent about 2 hours here with some children and they very much enjoyed the children's learning area. There were magnetic busy boards, busy games, wall games, magnetic dominos, puppets, magnetic people mix and match, and the books! While here, I noticed people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities enjoying the services of the library. It was very clean and I was impressed with the spread of variety of things for different groups. There were DnD groups renting out rooms, coders, puzzlers, arts and crafters, and much more. It was a very pleasant and safe experience, we will visit again.

5.28.26 I hadn't…read morevisited a public library in decades, but over the past few years I've rediscovered my love of reading--especially memoirs. I had been purchasing books online through thrift retailers, but a friend suggested borrowing them from the library instead to save money. After browsing the library's website, I was pleasantly surprised to find a wide selection of newly released memoirs available. I'm now saving a significant amount, and the three-week borrowing period is generous--especially with the option to renew if there are no holds. The library itself is spacious, bright, and very welcoming. While I haven't fully explored it yet, it appears to have dedicated areas for children and teens. In addition to books, I noticed they offer DVDs and have far more computers than I remember from the library I used to visit in Montgomery County decades ago. The staff I interacted with while setting up my library account and locating newly released memoirs were both knowledgeable and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I also appreciate the convenient exterior features, including a book drop located right out front and a parking lot with an awning that provides coverage for cars. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with what this library has to offer and the welcoming service I've received so far.
