So grateful for libraries .... I am 72 and I am So grateful…read moreto my father who got us library Cards and made sure we went to the library every week. at the Old West Park library branch...open since 1869..... So many places around the world I visited before I ever flew in a plane..just grateful for libraries! Check with your families and friends Make sure they all have a library card, still really easy to do!.... Your niece's nephews and grandkids let them know how cool a place a library is... I live within walking distance of the Franklin branch library and have nothing but good things to say about it. Nikki Hayter is the. Supervisor, she started As a Librarian at Franklin and moved to another branch and then came back as the Franklin supervisor. The Franklin library is everything a modern library should be, With multiple focuses- families, children with all kinds of events every month, family DVDs, people to help seniors gain access to audio books regular large print books, and get computer help. Adults helped to.get access to computers for job searches, regular reading research, and just plain reading. I am so proud that the library provides a community refrigerator that gets all kids of food for people to take if they need it. They also have a repair Cafe operated by volunteers that help members get things fixed. Check out Franklin's front desk for further details on everything or the Des Public Libraries web site.

Libraries are such a wonderful resource! The Franklin library is walkable from my home, but for…read moreothers it is on a bus line and next to a bike trail. It is so great they collect food donations to put in the entryway for people to take. I have seen lots of perishable items (veggies, fruits, bread, prepared meals) available because they have 2 large refrigerators, as well as the typical shelf stable items you might see other places. For library services I love that you have access to material from any of the other Des Moines libraries at no cost to have it brought here. And they have a number of classes and other activities that happen throughout the month.

Hands down the best library in the metro. Such a huge collection of books, movies, and many other…read moremedias. The staff is beyond amazing, I constantly cannot find things, usually sitting right in front of my face, and they always manage to help me out. The facilities are always very clean. The walker Johnson park is adjoining to the the library, so it is a great spot to play some Pokémon go, get a book, and have a great day!

As a longtime Urbandale resident, I've been going here for about 15 years. It is a nice clean,…read morespacious, and high quality library in a quiet suburban area. I've always felt safe coming here--in fact, my parents used to let the library babysit my little sister and I for hours! The staff are all super kind and helpful. The computers for catalog searching have improved substantially and it's super quick to look up an item. Self check-out is also quick and reliable. There is a plentiful amount of tables to do some work on and the public wi-fi is reliable. Aesthetically, it may not be as pretty other libraries, but it's very clean and nice regardless. They have a lot of video games to rent for free which is nice for video game lovers! For new popular books, the library does a good job of getting them in stock. As a new Nook user, the experience of checking out an ebook is very easy as well. In the past, there used to be a cafe and I hope it gets revitalized as there are times I want a quick bite to eat or a drink! That would be my top wish for the library. Overall, I would recommend this place!
