In the age of iBooks, Nook, and Kindle...The public library has become a thing of our childhood…read more What used to be the information supercenter is now a dated glimpse of what was... That said, I REALLY enjoy the Roanoke Library. My wife and I moved to Roanoke in July 2011, and I kind of stumbled across this little gem. Here's a summary: - It's small. Cozy, but not too small - every time I go, there's only one or two patrons in the whole place. - Free Wifi. A lot quieter to study/work here than Starbucks. - They carry fairly new items (in my category of interests, anyway). I managed to secure the Steve Jobs biography on hold, within a few weeks of publication. Beats spending the money on Kindle. - A part of the TexShare program, which allows me to borrow books from other libraries after being a local cardholder for 6 months. - Good movie selection, and blu-rays. Current stuff, stuff I would think would be "too new" for the library. Also, the week-long policy for movies is a plus. - Decent online holding and renewal system. I can check out a book for 2 weeks, but renew it up to 5 times online. Wow! That's cool. All in all, this childhood place of memory has re-entered my list of favorite places - good resources, friendly staff, and a quiet environment.

The new library is great, if you have not seen it you should check it out! This new facility is…read moregoing to allow the library to do much more for children's programs, community events and to expand their book collection. The management of the library system seems to be doing some great new things. Each time I go in, I am able to find new books that are current and are of interest to me. There are a lot of computer terminals for those individuals looking to gain access to the internet. The new library also has some great work stations with power at each station in the center of the table. This is a very comfortable library now and a strong library system for such a small little community.

My kiddo likes to play with the robots and program them to do sequences. There is a great selection of books as well. You also have access to the digital library through the ap when you enter your library card number. Such an abundance of resources available to our family, I am extremely grateful!

Not even a table with puzzles or paper with crayons. Their Saturday story time Is boorrrrinnnggg, too. Today's visit, & probably my last, I was kinda turned off as soon as I entered the door bc no one greets you or even says hello back (or maybe I just didn't hear them cause all the staff were wearing masks... in 2023). But as soon as my curious 2yo wandered into the computer lab/stem room & found a bin of legos that she touched for a total of maybe 8 seconds lol, the bald headed man marched in there & started watching us, making me feel as if I'd let my toddler freaking steal something?! I even said oh sorry she's just a curious toddler, we're just wandering. He didn't say a word & continued to be rude & correct anything she touched. Just wanted to put my experience out here before I submit my formal complaint. I'll stick to Saginaw library-- so kid friendly & the staff is always so friendly. Two stars for cleanliness & organization.

I went to the charging station, but the chargers were VERY slow to charge. They would not charge above 9%. This was disappointing. I went home to make certain that my phone was working and it worked with other chargers. Printing is 10 cents a page for black and white. The printing machine was very easy to use. The library was clean and organized. It was very hard to move around in a wheelchair . It would be beneficial to have more ADA wheelchair spaces. The renting policies for books and videos are great.

I really appreciate that because our trip to the library is usually hurried and we need to find good books fast. The librarians always help us find the books we are looking for. Don't miss out on their app, Cloud Library, that lets you borrow e-books and audio books. We use the self-checkout every time and it's really fast and easy. You can even scan your library card barcode on the library app. The library also has a number of private rooms you can borrow.

It also helps that they have a bank of computers as my modem had not come in the mail yet and I needed to do some work. I was earmly greeted and assisted as soon as I walked in. The facility is large and well stocked. They even have an ancestry area to help you find out where you come from. It is just next to the REC center and has a drive thru book drop.

Before ever setting foot in the facility, I walked the grounds admiring the artwork (sculpture adorning the area heading into the front doors) and incredible landscaping (a running fountain and plant life). Of course residents of Grapevine qualify to apply for a library card. In addition, employees of the city are also eligible for one. Too bad I don't live in Grapevine; however, I am free to use their services but without the ability to check out material. Very gracious! PLEASE visit your local library.

Recycle Books Records is a true Texas gem!…read more This amazing used bookstore and record store is located in the heart of Denton, TX inside a 100+-year-old opera house. They have been independently and family-owned for over 40 years, and they are a must-stop for all book and music lovers out there. This store is HUGE with over half-a-million books, movies, music and memorabilia. However, I think what makes them extra special is the curated selection of Horror and Thriller books, including some very unique collectibles. I am more into contemporary, so keep in mind those books are located on the top floor of their second building. Their children's book section was also incredible but frankly I didn't have the patience to go through them. This store can be a little overwhelming so definitely take a breath and ask for help if you can't find the genre you are looking for.
