Apparently, the library system believes we are unable to make up our mind about what's happening in the war... They are also closed on Holiday weekends! Good Lord! When are people out of work? When are kids out of school? The weekends--they close! Very poor library system--and I've lived in many states, this is the worst I've ever seen. Sad {:

Friendly staff and beautiful library. My only complain is…read morethe shelving (for childrens, I haven't been to the adult section yet). Can we adopt the dewy decimal system here?! Having the same author on multiple shelves because they are shelved according to book name is really irritating. We should be able to come in and see all of what one author has to offer in one location.

I visited the downtown library for the first time in a few years. I think the county did a great…read morejob by filling this large building's space with books and other materials. The way the library had been used prior had quiet a bit of unused space. Now, all I see is shelves, and shelves and shelves of books, and other learning materials. I appreciate and enjoyed the little display cases showing off cameras and dolls, i.e. The only thing I wish that Midland County would have taken into consideration was that this building could have used a great deal of natural light and should have instructed the architect to provide tall and wide, shatter proof windows. If you read, you automatically realize the need for light. Natural light is always the best. Artificial light is a necessity for dark, stormy or winter days as well as night hours and we will never escape those scenarios, but the tall, wide shatter-proof windows would have been an absolute great thing to have.

Even though I lived in Midland for about a year and half a few years ago, I never visited the main…read moreMidland Library branch here. Luckily, I was able to on a work trip since it was a very short walk there from my hotel. On the outside, it looks very large with beautiful decorations and paintings all around the building. When you walk in, it's a bit underwhelming. It feels like a stale business office. The book selection is actually pretty decent although I was disappointed in their oil and gas book selection given that Midland/Odessa is THE oil town of America. I would say the highlights of this library is that they have 2 gaming stations with games for PlayStation, Wii, Switch, and Xbox, and they have plenty of computers. I would recommend this library for residents of Midland but people visiting will probably find it underwhelming with its offerings.

This is a wonderful public library. The librarians put so much care into keeping it looking nice,…read moreclean, welcoming. They really think about the collection items their patrons will be interested in, and host educational events/speakers that bring value to the town. The children's section is clearly a labor of love and there's even a cozy fireplace in the back of the adult section. I felt so welcomed by the staff when I visited in April and will look forward to returning.

This is literally the tiniest library I've ever visited. It is wedged in between two larger…read morebuildings so it may be a shock to see how small it is. The librarian isn't very friendly to outside guests. When I walked into the public library the lady asked me could she help me. As if I was lost. That's not a nice welcome. I told her I needed to study and she kept repeating herself.. big table in the back as if she wanted me immediately stop talking to her. Most of the walls are taken up by books along the shelves and against the shelves may be one or two chairs for visitors to sit. The decor which lines the walls are mostly Texas based to single framed picture of an older designed house, with a windmill adjacent and yellowed to dead grass is portrayed, you'll sense the rustic feel when you're inside here. They also have a huge chimney furnace in the middle towards the end of the library. Must be such a light show to see as mini lights and red coal light up. The same lady that questioned me seemed a little off. She so bored to a point where she started dusting the book shelves. Then while I was studying she notified me of a rat that crawled into the air vent my vehicle. It was very strange to me that she told me this. Either she didn't want me there or she always does this to visitors. Either way it's very poor conduct. I'm not sure if Post is a racist little town, but the lady inside the library didn't seem too polite to hold a conversation with me. She even told me that she would hate for the rat to be killed. I checked underneath my hood and didn't see a rat sooo maybe she is delusional and suffers from psychosis. I don't know but there isn't a restroom inside with is very inconvenience unless the paranoid lady inside lied.

I came here for the first time this past weekend to finally sign up for my library card. I'm…read moreimpressed, even surprised, by the quality of this library for it being in Lubbock. Also, this location was my only choice because it's the only branch open Sundays. The collection is entirely on the main floor. When you come in, fiction is mostly to the left and through the center, children's in the back left corner, non-fiction center back, and a huge section for genealogy research in the back right corner. In the front right side and corner is a computer area open to all visitors - it seems like a first come first served situation. There's also an armed police officer who seems to be always on duty here at a desk near the front. It's actually my first time seeing this in a library, and I come from a much larger city. Staff was helpful in getting me signed up. Probably the greatest benefit is in being able to join the Libby app for ebooks and audiobooks. But nothing will beat the brick and mortar library for things like graphic novels and a nice focused place to study.

Plenty of…read morecomputers, always a cool place to hang on a hot summer day, and a small, but decent supply of fiction and non-fiction books. For a growing city, I think they should be expanding their stock of books, but you can generally find a book or two on your topic of interest.

This is a smaller library branch but it has all the things you need including comfortable chairs for sitting, study carrels for working, tables for coworking and a large selection of fiction, non-fiction, periodical and reference materials. The free wifi worked well and the seating is comfortable. The library also has public restrooms and a huge parking lot. I enjoyed my time here. [Review 17432 overall - 443 in Texas - 950 of 2022.]

You can often see groups of them here along with parents doing storytime and other activities. It is, therefore, not usually quiet here as the building is also quite small. There's also a huge selection of mostly fiction, a smattering of nonfiction, DVDs, and a waning collection of audiobooks on CDs. Unfortunately there is not a music collection. You can also access a digital library on the Libby app with your membership here. Through there you can find even more audiobooks in particular. There are computers with internet access and limited seating for reading or study. They are always clean and organized. There's a community info board in the lobby, a "free stuff" box, small selection of books for sale for a quarter each, and some library themed things for sale too. Staff always does a good job of displaying monthly themed material. Recently they put up a display of banned books - how edgy! Check the calendar of events for the occasional movie nights and more.
