We frequent the center for the city of Raleigh's Girls basketball league practices. The gym here is beautiful and the facility is immaculately clean. The desk staff is pleasant and welcoming. There is a historical carousel that I am in love with here. It's a beautiful touch if you're having an event. This center features a plethora of options to throw an event for a rental cost. They offer a reception hall, studio, carousel house, 2 multi purpose rooms, the gymnasium, and fields. The center offers a beautiful view of the city skyline at night. The park on the property is gorgeous and has a wonderful playground as well as walking trails.

The Metropolitan Community Churches denomination is known as one that originated for the LGBT community, but being a different-gender-loving (straight) woman who is a steadfast LGBT ally, I feel right at home in this church. There are special things happening at St. Johns -- lives are being transformed here all of the time. There is an 845am service that is more traditional in style, and the 11am service is contemporary worship. Ethnically, St, Johns is a beautiful mix of races and backgrounds. I was raised Roman Catholic, and I have gotten to know and understand more about the backgrounds of my fellow members who come from Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Jehovah Witness, and other religious backgrounds. The sincerity with which the deacons, pastors, and friends at St. Johns pray for and with me/us is something that has completely transformed my outlook on christian spirituality. The place reeks of LOVE, and there is always someone willing to pray with you and guide you in a positive direction. Bible study group on Tuesday is always informational and inspirational. I can't say enough about how great this church is.

Bottom line: This little community library has much to offer! Lots to enjoy and explore here at…read moreMorrisville Community Library, affiliated with the Wake County Public Libraries system. So many resources in a nice, clean, well organized/maintained setting. Beyond the resources available, the staff was 5 star helpful and pleasant, awesome! The Deets: I will have to say, I came to this little community library with the preconception of it not being all that much. I was wrong. It's got a lot packed into its current 8800 or so square feet than you'd expect, with around 50,000 adult and children's books. It opened for public use April of 2020 (what a wild time to open, eh?). The current library is undergoing an adjacent construction project that apparently will make adjustments to its parking capabilities. In addition to the books/audiobooks/ebooks/digital media, they have scheduled library programs, high speed WiFi as well as public computer access, seating areas with dedicated workspace type areas, and more. Self-checkout of books is available. It is affiliated with the Wake County Public Libraries system so if you have a library card here, it will work with the other Wake County libraries as well. I refrained from taking pics inside as I did not want to ruin others' library vibe, but this place is nice, clean, well organized, and well maintained. There was security stationed at the door on my visit as well. But beyond all these things, the one thing that put this library in 5 star territory was the service that the staff provided. The person working with me went out of her way to make sure I knew what was available, how to use the library resources, made sure all my questions and then some were answered...and did so with such a pleasant as well as extremely helpful manner. Positive energy here, and welcoming as well. I am glad this little community library is in my neighborhood, all 5 stars from me!
