Our local library is truly such a special part of our community!…read more I can't say enough about everything they do for the kids in our area. From story time to the wonderful teachers and staff, they create a place where children can learn, explore, use their imaginations, and genuinely feel excited about reading. We absolutely LOVE story time, and the teachers who make it so fun and engaging for the kids deserve a huge thank-you. They put so much thought and heart into what they do, and it shows! We are so lucky to have a library that goes above and beyond for our children and families. Thank you for creating such a welcoming, educational, and fun space for our community!

Oh my gosh, I LOVE IT!…read more This dream of a library is practically out of a Norman Rockwell painting. It's small, brightly lit, well organized and staffed with extremely friendly people. Being Portal, the librarians know and trust their patrons - there are no library cards (you check out on a name-only basis) and due dates are easily extended. This library makes life in Portal not so isolating and truly brings the positive side of rural living to the foreground. Plus, have you seen the pictures? It's adorable!

This is a second review. My first review was written after only one visit. Since then, I've visited…read morethis excellent library at least two or three times a month. Now I wish I could give it more than five stars. Has anything changed? Well, some of the books and videos are in different places. There are new personnel and at least one has moved away. But nothing else has changed except I am even more fond of the library and its staff. I have gotten to know them more personally, and gotten to know more about the function of the library itself, and know they and it really do try to fulfill every request. Need a book that doesn't seem to reside in any library west of the Mississippi? Chances are the really nice folks will try to find it for you, even if a complex search is required. Reasonably, there might be a financial cost for some rare or esoteric book, that has to come from far away, but surely no one can carp about premium service. Heck, even such outfits as Amazon charge more for premium service -- and Amazon doesn't begin with a basically no-charge service in the first place. One last​ comment: For years, ever since he was a kid, Baxter Black has been one of my heroes. And recently Baxter Black himself made a public appearance at this very library! And I got to be in the audience! Baxter Black is as fascinating in person, and on video (he presented one that was hilarious), as in print and on radio. To sum up: I LOVE THIS PLACE!
