Not only is it beautifully designed with plenty of areas to read and work, but it also offers services such as 3D printing, streaming movie services, and the NC Collection, a fantastic resource for anyone looking into their ancestry. Two things I want to highlight: 1) the seed library (free seeds!) and 2) events. The library (not just this one but all of the libraries) has fantastic events for adults as well as kids. For example, I went to a meeting of the Nicholas Cage movie club, and it was so fun. They also offer lectures on a wide range of interesting topics (the paranormal, ham radios, etc.) as well as practical classes (computer classes for seniors and Spanish classes). I could go on and on-- the library is a fantastic resource in our community that has something for everyone.

It's awesome and we are so lucky to have something like that available. When I was visiting family in GA, my sister was so jealous. Not only can you make holds, but you can view their entire catalog, link to hoopla and Libby, request inter library loans and much more. This location...I thought I'd mention that there are two parking lots, one on each side of the building. They are not connected to each other though. If you live in Durham County and especially if you pay taxes, you should definitely utilize the library since you're paying for it! :)

I like to thank of myself as a public library advocate (can you tell I'm a nerd lol) because I tell all my friends about how they should use the library and get books for free! I love that Durham County Public Libraries make it easy for you to place holds on books you're interested, and all you have to do is go pick them up when you get an email saying your books are ready for pick up!? They also offer audiobooks (available on OverDrive or Libby apps). Due to COVID-19, the libraries are not open completely currently. They're only open for book pickups. Once you get an email saying you have books ready for pickup, you can head to the Durham county library website and make an appointment. I will say that having to make a 15 minute appointment ahead of time can be tricky (non-covid times, you have about a week to pick up your books. They just sit on a "holds" shelf), but I am so thankful for the option to borrow physical books during this period. They have your books (and others' on a table in the lobby of the library. A staff member (way more than 6 feet away) will ask you your name so they can cross it off the list, but it is essentially a no-contact pickup. They only allow one person in the lobby at a time. I've felt safe every time I've gone in! If you're not already, you should be a library card holder!

The librarians and staff are helpful and friendly if you need anything. I usually request books/items on the DCo Library App, which allows you to request anything within the Durham County Library system and have it shipped to your preferred library for checkout. There are no fees for late returns, which I think makes checking out books stress free and more accessible. I also enjoy that I can walk to the library when the weather is nice!

The library is full of tall windows that allow natural bright light in. It also has plenty of big tables with chairs, however I would definitely recommend going earlier in the morning on weekends if you want a guaranteed table as they fill up pretty quickly. However they also have lots of couches with side tables that I sometimes use as a desk when tables aren't available (sometimes I prefer that since I am a comfy studier). At the entrance, they have a small coffee shop that I have yet to try. On the sides, they have a few conference/group rooms (which tend to be booked anytime I go) and downstairs, they have additional tables. They also have ample parking near the upper and lower entrances.

Limited selection of books as well, but they do have some decent books. Public parking lot has a fair amount of parking.

It also seems like they have pretty regular events on a weekly basis (book clubs and the like), so I'm excited to go back for one of those in the future. Fast service, great ambiance.
