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

Great place to grab a coffee, flip through some books, and just hang out for a bit. It's got a relaxed vibe.

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.

This is a Very nice library, large enough in scale, with a lot of computers for public use, plenty seating areas for work and study, brightness through the large glass wall. Beautifully designed. Ample parking included handicap and EV charging. Restroom is good size located right before the main entrance. Large kids area with books, tables, chairs and a full schedule of activities. Teen center also come with activities plans. The only downside, is the homeless issues, they just come and stink up the entire place. The SAD part is, this is not just a HCL problem , this happens to all public libraries, cause you cannot tell them not to come to a public facility. Free hclwireless unsecured wifi. Highly recommend to bring your own sanitizing wipes to wipe down everything you plan to sit and use before seated.
