Bedford Library always felt like my home away from home. Everyone was kind, the environment was…read morewelcoming, and they have a really great selection of books. I really appreciated how they always stayed on top of new releases and would order highly anticipated books to have them on hand when they came out. They also have a really efficient process for putting books on hold and picking them up when they're ready for you. One of the features I think is the best is their "library of things." Now, instead of just books and computers, you can also check out various items to help around the home (tools, cooking, etc.) I've since moved to another side of the state and I miss this library often. I highly highly recommend that anyone in the area get their library card ASAP.

I absolutely love this library. Their staff is always friendly and helpful. The library is always…read moreclean, there are tons of activities, and the children's area has a monthly scavenger hunt that my grandchildren love. They also have challenges to keep reading fun! I have library cards to all three libraries in the area but Bedford Public Library is the one that I consider my home (and I don't even live in Bedford)

As well the maker spot is an amazing resource from their quilting and sewing machines, 3d printer and other things you can use at the library. They also have a pretty good summer reading program.

They have study rooms and I especially liked the Langston Hughes Study room, a lot of areas to sit and read. Great areas to co-work. Snack machines on first floor.

I used to be a big library person when I was younger. Raising kids and working full time in a…read moredemanding job meant that me time was at a premium and my love of reading was temporarily set aside. When I relocated to Colleyville and went to vote in person, on a whim I went downstairs and got a new library card on the spot. They laughingly told me that new users often ticked up during election season for them. Now, the best parts. The only portal makes it super easy to request books, and I can swing by the handy dandy drive thru and pick up during library hours. They have a wonderful service where you can submit a request for a list of recommended books just for you based on what you share about your interests, favorite authors etc. I'm on my third list and Kara has nailed it every time. I've found some great new authors and enjoyed some books I never would have found otherwise. Just another reason living in Colleyville is pretty awesome.

The Colleyville Library is an outstanding library. They put on great events throughout the year,…read moreespecially in the summer. Their storytimes are so fun for littles. Most of the storytimes are not drop in - You have to register in advance and commit to an 8 week session. I think this results in a higher quality storytime - the librarians get to know your kids, they have crafts and other fun aspects to the storytime, and it's never overcrowded. Many other events offered do not require registration. The kids play area is the best I've seen at a library. There is so much to do! My kids all still love playing there, and will happily move from table to table building and playing for HOURS (even the older ones!). I do think, since this is a small library, you really have to utilize the online hold system if you want to pick out specific books. Especially when it comes to popular kid's books, it's unlikely that you're going to walk into the library and find it on the shelf. That's ok with me - the hold system saves me time because I reserve it online, the library tells me when it's been turned in and sets it aside, and I swing by the drive through to pick it up. Through the interlibrary loan system, you can get *almost* any book or movie you want, even if the Colleyville Library doesn't have it. I utilize the interlibrary loans regularly and have only ever requested ONE book that the library wasn't able to procure for me. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Two negatives I'd point out: 1. The new "no late fees" policy. Because there are no longer late fees, it's essentially "choose your own due date!" and the result is very long wait times for some book series. When I scroll through my list of holds, more than half the books are often overdue. The library should be collecting fines for this to encourage on time return of books and use the money to purchase duplicate copies of books in popular kids series. 2. Holds are capped at 20 books. This isn't really an issue during the school year, but during the summer when more kids are checking out books, you pretty much have to wait for every book that comes to mind. With 8 people in our house, we reach 20 holds very quickly. I'd prefer if they did away with the 20 book hold limit. Those negatives aside, this library has my heart! We are here at least a couple times a week picking up books and I am immensely grateful for the way the library has enabled me to foster a love of reading in my kids. We LOVE the Colleyville Library!!!

Went here today to get a new library card and check out a book. As I stepped in I instantly felt…read morewelcomed and relaxed. I went to the first counter and told the lady that I was there for a new library card and she asked me for my id or something with my address on it. I told her that I had a picture of an envelope with my name on it and she said unfortunately they could not accept this. She was so nice about it and told me that they are open until 9pm. I was able to find something with my address on it and I returned. I was able to get my library card and I went to the information desk and asked if they had the books on my list. Both of the ladies behind the counter were so nice and helpful. Unfortunately none of the books I wanted were available, but they were at other locations. The awesome ladies recommended a few, but I had either read them or they were not available. I ended up checking out their rows and rows of non fiction and fiction books. I finally decided on a Liane Moriarity book. I told the ladies what I decided and they were so nice and supportive about my choice. I used their self check out, which I love and checked out their community wall. They have tons of activities and events going on at the library and online. With your library card you can get tons of free e-books.

What stood out the most was the customer service--the staff were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. One area where I think there's room for improvement is the overall layout and atmosphere. The library feels a little dated, and it took some time to understand how the collections were organized. The main sections are divided into fiction and non-fiction, with laminated signs on the ends of the shelves somehow indicating the different subcategories. I think the browsing experience could be a little better with clearer, larger signage for popular subjects such as Cooking, History, Geography, Travel, Biography, Science, Technology, Business, Health & Wellness, Music, Arts & Crafts, Home & Gardening... That would make it much easier to find what you're looking for without needing to search each aisle. A warmer interior would also make the space feel more inviting--perhaps softer lighting that's still comfortable for reading, along with updated shelving and furniture to create a cozier atmosphere. Overall, it's a wonderful community library with excellent staff and a great collection. A few updates to the layout and design would make it an even more enjoyable place to spend time.

Unfortunately, no one was available to speak with me; however, a phone appointment was scheduled for next Monday at 10 a.m. Woohoo! The lady I spoke with was very accomodating and satisfied every question and concern. She was ultra-professional and didn't seem in any hurry to move on to the next person. This showed me how much she really cared, and that I simply wasn't a number or random student to deal with. This is an open-air campus, which means the buildings aren't connected. Wonder how that would fare during inclement weather. Anyway, please check out this school.

What irked me was that the buildings were not all connected to each other so if you had class in one building and then class in another and it was raining, well good luck getting soaked or whatnot! Also when I was there, there wasn't that many spots of food choices on campus, just a Subway from what I remember. There was no coffee shops on campus from what I also remember, the closest one being that Dunkin across the street that I'm not even sure if it still exists or whatnot. The advisors there too weren't necessarily the brightest either as they had me working my own schedule out and what classes to take.

The library is very clean and a good study place, they also provide activities for kids/adults and work with other libraries in the area! :) I see people complaining about the WiFi and I have to say their wifi isn't the strongest and find it better to be a study/reading center or maybe just use your own WiFi to have a better connection. Hope this helps anyone who wants to visit! (I'm from Fort Worth and some of the Fort Worth libraries I been too has been messy and very empty/lonely with older books. There's actually a few people that come in and out of Arlington libraries with many up to date books which makes me happy!) Happy readings

I simply followed the prompts, selected the parcel size, and one of the available lockers opened automatically to accommodate it. Dropped off, done, and out the door!

When one was finishing up, he asked the next customer to come up. He works very efficiently and fast! I asked Marcus how to write my friend's address next time. He was able to answer it and I'm glad I asked so I can avoid the lines next time. Thanks, Marcus!
