The library has been our go to since we moved to garland in 2021. The entire library system in garland is amazing and helps me keep my kiddo busy all summer or during school breaks. From baby story times, to toddler activities, and even up to teen board game nights or adult book clubs, there is always something to do. The new library is gorgeous and the staff is so dedicated to helping. Even without an event, we go and read in the book books or play a board game on the bottom floor in the kids section. I am sad the slide didn't work out and wish they would remove it - I think it ended up being too dangerous and the slide is now closed to the public

Very helpful at the front desk. Looks clean and quiet. They have lots of classes offered and readings for younger age groups.

Wonderful children's selection. The librarians I've sought help from have been courteous and accommodating.

One of the women working downstairs at the reference desk was extremely rude and unaccommodating. 6/11/19 @ 4:20

Upstairs area can get noisy due to children but downstairs is more secluded with private study rooms and work areas.

I love bookstores and Libraries, and I've been lucky that until now, I have found ones I love. But…read morethe Richardson library just doesn't make me get excited to come into it. The children's book area has plenty of books, but there's a lack of imagination and creativity. Again, I'm just not inspired to want to walk around and engage with the books. It feels too sterile. I hope that makes sense.

The Richardson Public Library has been a staple in my life almost all of my life. I remember…read morecoming to here to research papers I was writing all the way back to my young school days. While the library is all the things a library should be and you would think it would be, the Richardson Public Library is SO much more... For example this past weekend they held "Eggstravaganza" which was essentially fun, games, and of course, an Easter egg hunt, for the kids. They also hold Mah Jongg lessons and host a Mah Jongg League, host computer classes, AI lessons, teach Excel, host job clinics, as well as several other events (check out my photo of the current and upcoming events calendar). These activities have been a great way for me to not only support them, but also re-connect with the community. The library is SO good in fact, last week they won the Achievement of Excellence in Libraries Award from the Texas Municipal Library Directors Association. Wgat's more is that this is their 20th year in a row of winning this honor...Congratulations Richardson Public Library and thank you to all the staff and volunteers for doing what you all do!!!
