I love libraries. Surrounded by ideas and physical media I feel.... happy. I worked at a library…read morefor years when I was in college and always feel at home when I'm at my local library or visiting one elsewhere. I recently moved to the area and was amazed to discover that my new local library just happens to be the best library I've ever been to. The selection of books is excellent and the children's section is wonderful. But they go above and beyond in so many areas; They have a great selection of the normal fare movies, audio books, and magazines. But you can also play and check out board games, graphic novels, telescopes, and fishing rods. They have a teen area. Study areas. A bookstore, where you can find great prices. And they have a cafe. Visit and support this gem of a library!

When I pulled up to this library I was already impressed. It's so spacious with a thought out,…read morefunctional design that makes sense for a large library. The cafe space is no longer in use by the coffee cafe but this library still has a lot going for it. There are multiple meeting/ community rooms and reading lounges. The children's library is huge and every librarian that I spoke with was so helpful and nice. Desks, tables and armchairs are all over the place. It's wonderful here.

My visit started out fine. A kind employee helped me locate a pencil sharpener. However, around…read more4:30 pm today, an EMS crew with a stretcher hovered around a woman sitting at a computer. She hadn't been bothering anyone, making sounds, or causing any issues. She was just sitting there. They proceeded to ask her questions about how she was feeling, what day it was, etc. She was talking coherently but the three EMS employees and a library employee had her circled for at least 15 minutes after taking her vitals and wouldn't leave her alone. Obviously I don't know what happened. But I saw them wheel her into the ambulance. Beware if you're having an off day, or act a little eccentric. You may end up taking a thousands-of-dollars little ride if you don't answer questions to someone else's liking. Disturbing and uncalled for.

Once you figure out which floor houses your section, you can hone in and set up base. Because few students actually can read, there are spaces aplenty in which to hide away, say, with that leather-bound Wordsworth I just found that, me thinks, is old enough to have been handled by the poet himself. Anyone with any pretense to scholarly activity will call it El Dorado.

Downstairs in the Taneyhills Library is the Friends of the Library Bookstore. This review is about…read morethe bookstore, not the library. For decades, I have only been buying my books at the Friends of the Library bookstores around the country. The money goes to support the library. The community donates their books, most of them brand new and hardbound. This is the BEST Friends Bookstore I have ever seen. I come to Branson several times a year, and I load up on books. I buy bags and bags of them here. It is an enormous room full of bookshelves. They are well organized and categorized for easy perusal. Nowhere on earth can you beat these prices!

Ugh, I just got done running home to get a utility bill to show to renew my library card. I've had…read morea library card here for 5 years. First when it was a private library and I donated money for an annual card and now the second year since it has become a public library. I voted YES to it becoming public because I grew up appreciating having access to a library. Now, seeing how elderly the population is here, I hope more and more benefits will be developed for them through this community library. Short version to my mediocre star rating is based on the inefficiency of the one website that the staff can utilize to confirm residency, its ineffectual. As a resident of 5 years and a tax payer for 5 years, I could not be found. I sympathize with people further out of town, the elderly, new commers, and previous or on-going library patrons having to prove who they are past showing their drivers license. The information my paper file they hold has the exact same information that appears on my drivers license! I'm an election judge in Taney county, and the legal residence in the United States are allowed to vote legally easier than trying to obtain a library card here. I receive surveys to better this library and diligently fill them out. I hope this note goes towards addressing this issue. The library staff deserves better tools to assist guests to this library. Thank you,

This is a great spot for study or internet but it was too quiet to try and pull off a Zoom bridge if you need to talk. Sure, a few shouting kids and the librarians tend to talk loud but I think the patrons are expected to be silent. Stacks and stacks of books, magazines, reference, tables for spreading out, comfy chairs for sitting and a "Library of Things" that you can borrow as well.

They have a good selection of movies and audio books which I enjoy. I also like the free community events like the recent Mother's Day craft and the Lunch and Learn talks. They have teen movie nights and art club and plant exchanges for adults that we have attended. I do wish they had a bigger selection of new releases and audiobooks though. And a lot of the computers, especially in the kids area, are broken. Tip: if you have a Fayetteville library card you can check out books here!
