I was surprised since the library in Houston all close at 6:00PM. Library is a place where we can being indoor with the AC and a restroom to use if need to. There are plenty of parking space here and there are some steps to go up to the main door and there is a ramp near the handicap parking space. My only complain is there is not enough tree planted area here for some shaded parking space. The first floor is the kids section. and downstairs is the adult section, they have stairs and elevators. There are pretty of chairs and table. There is a puzzle table where anyone can work on the puzzle and that was where we spend our time there. The staff here are very friendly by helping me to pronounce the name of the library was named after properly.

When my boys were young, they enjoyed the Young Author workshops. They were able to make a hard covered book and illustrate it too. In fact, a few years ago the library was downsizing their homemade collection and they even got in touch with me to see if we'd like his book! How wonderful that now my son can share a book he made when he was in the 6th grade with his children! How kind that they took the time and effort to track down the original authors some 30 years later! When I was taking care of my grandchildren before they started elementary school, I would bring them to Wiggle Worms and we enjoyed many of the programs they offered. I have also enjoyed many of the Richardson Reads One Book programs over the years. It was fun to see some of the autographed posters of the authors advertising their RROB hanging in the temporary library space. At the events, I enjoyed hearing directly from the author their "behind the scenes" info about their book. All of the librarians I have ever come in contact with have always been so pleasant and helpful. On a recent trip, I was asking a librarian for a book suggestion. I had just finished reading "Theo of Golden" by Allen Levi and was looking for a book that was similar to it. It ended up being one of my all time favorite books and I was sad when I finished reading it because I loved it so much. The librarian kindly recommended three books to me and I checked out two of them on the spot. As I was leaving her desk, I discovered a seed library that was housed in an up-cycled wooden card catalog cabinet. You have to be a certain age to know what a card catalog is! Ha! So cool!!! I'm so excited that they will soon be re-locating back to the original library location at Arapaho & US 75/Central expressway. This temporary location will close October 11 and then they will start the huge task of moving everything back over to the newly remodeled space. A solid 5 stars for the Richardson Public Library!!!!! Readers are Leaders!

I came in to get my library card and put a hold on a certain title I'd been waiting on before relocating, which to my surprise will arrive tomorrow! I checked out a couple other titles to read around the pool this week. Service at the front counter was the absolute sweetest and most helpful! I'll definitely be stopping in monthly and look forward to checking out some of their events and book clubs.

Love that they still put out "new media" when you enter the library. Some don't do that (ie:…read moreHarrington). Very noisy likely coming from the Children's area. It seems staffers don't or can't do anything to enforce the quiet. To a certain degree, it's the Karen parents who could care less what their kids do. The parking lot was crowded where it counted.

There is plenty of seating on both levels. There is a vending machine and seats to eat your snacks. Plenty of restrooms. It's two levels and very organized. They have books for sale at great prices.

It's been ages since I have been to a library to really use it. It's a refreshing change to get away from my house and work. They have rooms you can book to use. This is great for extra quietness. The concept is open and spacious with a variety of different styles of chairs. It's cozy and comfortable and very inviting. I will be very SOON! Plus there is plenty of parking.

It was time to get a library card that was mine! Was time to stop borrowing friend's cards. Why pay for books or buy books when your taxes, as a homeowner, offer you free book rentals! AMAZING!! I love to be read too and you can read a variety of books for free! The best bang for your buck! Really happy I discovered reading books again. Not sure why I ever slowed down. Collin County College is awesome! Simply need to go in person to apply for the card. It's so simple! It gives you access to ALL libraries in Collin county and the State of Texas. Everyone should have a library card! I wish more people would be interested in being part of a library. It's so cool to have access to knowledge. Be extraordinary and join any library across the country! The only draw back is they don't have audiobooks. Suppose students don't have time to read anything but text books! If you return the book late you will be charged late fees. Only fair. There are rules you have to follow. Others are waiting for that book: Be kind and return on time. July 2024
