    This library is a place to socialize rather than actually get any work done…read more Positives: printer(color or black and white), teenager section, adult section, children section, winter programs, summer programs, constant prizes, raffles, and opportunities to win items, you're able to renew items with no charge, and it's very disable-accessible. Negatives: charges for printing, lots of papers to sign, difficult process for cards, expiration dates for cards, lose a card? You have to pay for another one have to be a certain age to use certain computers, have to have your card ON YOU to check anything out, charges for late gain quickly, attitudes from workers(specified later), and loud for a library. For the rude workers: Renee: VERY RUDE. She's the main worker. She's in charge of both the children's section AND the teenager section of the library. While she's pretty good at taking charge of the children's section, she has NO idea what she's doing in the teenager section. She's on top of everything in the children's section, but when it comes to the teenagers, she's coming in late to the programs, shutting down some of the favorite programs, never refills the snacks that the teenage section is known for and loved for, and is fairly rude to all the teenagers. I have also heard that she is very rude to the workers as well. A bad person in general. She's seen at the children's section most of the time. The workers behind the counter and in the teen section are very nice people! I love talking to Shannon and Danielle. While the people upstairs can be rude at times, the people behind the counter on the main floor are very polite and love to help with any problem that you have. Mostly pleased with this location. Renee is the only reason why I put this rating at 3 stars. You'd think I'd put it at four, but the negative effect she has on the library is so great that I have to put it a 3. I recommend this library to a LOT of people, I just recommend to stay out of the children's section.

    This is my favorite library on the planet. Maybe because it's in my home town. I moved away from…read moreCoal City when I was 15 and have never found a library quite like this one. It is a landmark in the community. It's a beautiful library. It has so many fun things for kids to do, especially during the summer. There are computers for people to use, printers to print things out if you don't have a computer, lots of kids books and things for kids to do, rooms to hold meethings in - you name it, this library's got it.

    My family and i canme in to the library to read some books and get warm but we were quickly met by…read morethe library director who had words for us if we were the slightest bit loud while reading our books i also think its funny how you are not allowed to have a sip of water while there are water fountains in the library the rules of this library are a joke and outdated just like the library director Sadly looks like i will be getting them reading material elsewhere which is sad because i remember going to the library as a kid and really connecting with the librarians there and obtaining so much wisdom ughhhhhh please do better

    My favorite thing about this library is the friendly staff. They are welcoming and always ready to…read morehelp out if needed. It is a one floor library. They have an online system so you are able to access your account from home to renew books, places holds, request books from other libraries, and view due dates. I mostly went for fictional novels. They have plenty of newer authors and most of their books are hardcover. They have a small section (two aisles) of large print books. Their children's section is decent in size with a small play area for the kids, nothing special but my three year old loves it. Their nonfiction section has a little bit of everything, but again, nothing out of the ordinary. Typically I needed to request nonfiction materials online from other libraries. Their magazine section is quite nice and there are several pieces of leather furniture for cozying up and reading on. I liked how they had a magazine exchange where you could bring old magazines to add to the bin for others and take other people's old magazines home with you. They have plenty of computers that can be accessed with a library card but you may not use them if you have fines. There are walk up computers for quickly looking up call numbers and books are easily found where they should be. Overall, a great library.
