    The computer section.

    They have a massive selection of books, a clean environment, and an area where you can use computers. I came to print a piece of paper, since I don't currently have a printer at home. Fewer than 10 pages is free. It couldn't have been easier.

    WHO's bight idea was it to put books at ground level, you have to crawl on the floor to see titles.

    I could go on from the dvds, video games, comic books and other opportunities but there isn't enough space or time.

    We are new to Lewisville and my wife recently went in to get our library card. We had driven by the…read morelibrary on multiple occasions and thought it looked like a beautiful facility. My wife assured me it is just as impressive in the inside. The library has special events this summer which include the stories of three bakeries in the community: Louie and Honey's Kitchen, Ava's Cupcakes and Black Mountain Chocolate. Friday Family Films is monthly family event and they also offer Ongoing Adult Programs such as: "Hook and Loop Group" which is a monthly gathering of folks who like to knit, crochet, embroider, and such; "Yoga for Beginners" which is a free session of yoga offered both in-person or virtually; "Color & Coffee Group" allowing some coloring and socializing with the library providing coloring sheets, pencils and gel pens along with coffee and tea; "Witchy Washi Crafters" which is an in-person event where folks create chalkboards (seating is limited to 10). She also learned there are two book clubs, "Tuesday at Two" and "The Friends Book Club", which allows folks to join either in person and virtual. To say we are impressed is an understatement.

    Out of all the Forsyth County libraries this one is my favorite. It's always such a pleasant…read moreexperience when I visit. I am willing to make the drive to this location out of all the other ones because of the consistency I experience here. The cleanliness of the facility, the friendliness of the staff and the multitude of offerings they have for the community are always on point. There is a wide selection of books, DVDs, plenty of computers, children's section (that is also accompanied with toys and coloring station) and many free resources. Classes and events available for all ages every week! I really feel like there is a sense of belonging here which I think is so nice!

    We were looking to get a library card to check out books and use the online services that most…read morelibraries offer, such as music and movies. For some reason even though this branch has been around since dirt was invented it was not on Yelp. We walked in and talked to the librarians who, when we told them we wanted to get library cards, perked up and were very excited. It was nothing to get the cards, we showed our IDs selected an online PIN, and gave an email address. We got the cards and walked around to see a few authors that I had read in the past and wanted to see about getting into them again as well as a lot of DVDs to check out if you wanted. There was a kids section as well for those who have young ones and a few computers and printers. When we were wandering I saw this box with the author that I was interested in reading his books again and it said (his name and $5.00). I called to the libarian and she said that patrions will donate books for sale. I asked, where are the books?" and she said that box, so I said oh they are $5.00 each and she said no, the whole box....what the what...!!!! I bought the box of course and it had 10 hardback books in great condition and only two I had read....bargain...! Who knew you could find things like this at a library. Anyway I am in process of setting up my online accounts so I get the music and other items offered for free.

    I had the opportunity to visit this location today because I wanted to vote during the early voting…read moreseason. To my surprise they were not very busy and I was able to go inside and vote in only about twenty minutes. I liked the ease of this experience and will come back again to browse the items that are avaible here on a daily basis.

    Jamestown Public Library - Stamped book

    I visited the Jamestown Public Library after I decided that I wanted to begin reading again. I had…read morenot been to a library in years and I was very skeptical about the selection this historic building would have. I was very pleasantly surprised! I stopped by one evening and as soon as I walked in it was like going back in time in the best way possible. This building is absolutely beautiful inside and out. I was helped by the library manager, Jim, and he was very friendly and helpful. He explained that the building was built in 1915 and was originally a school for the area. After being used for years it was almost torn down, but the alumni saved it from destruction and it was turned into a public library. There is a big array of books in all different genres and subjects. I saw some new releases I want to read as well as classics and everything in between. It was great to explore what they had in such a peaceful and beautiful setting. Jim let me know about book clubs they have, children's story times and that they offer e-Books, DVDs, and audiobooks too. He was very helpful and informative. I was able to make my selection and was given my own library card and saw that they still use the nostalgic stamps when you check your books out! I left with my book, my new library card, and a new excitement for reading!

There are three things that I pay attention to when visiting a library, (1) the WiFi, (2) service to patrons, & (3) sitting space. As far as Jamestown Public Library fares, (1) the WiFi was shoddy. I had to reconnect at least 5x (which didn't take long but still), (2) the receptionist halfway spoke to me when I walked in so the service was "meh." I later saw other librarians who asked if I needed help so that was nice. Lastly, (3) I sat in the corner at a table. The area had ok lighting and there were plugs available for my computer and phone. It's important to not that library is sort of old fashioned so don't expect too much.
