Just wanted to write a review and thank you for hosting the Meet and Greet for Lovina Zook! It was such a special event and I felt so blessed to be able to attend. My family had never visited the Grapevine Library before, and we were amazed at how spacious it is! There was ample parking as well. I am planning to come back and check some books out, my family reads A LOT!! read more

This library ROCKS. We all know libraries have books. That is where they live and they just let you take them! All you need is a card they would love to give you, and it is free! What could be better? Well I will tell you, they also have a genealogy center. Do you need a quiet room for a zoom? They've got you covered. Need to borrow a computer and print out your resume? Got it. They even have a wall dedicated to job hunters, with flyers showing you local businesses who are hiring. But it is not just books, they have the STRANGEST collection of things you can check out. For example, bongos. Yes bongos. Also metal detectors and sewing machines. New to the area and would like to meet people and learn to play mahjong? I believe that is on Thursdays. This is also where I come to perform my civic duty and vote on all things from school boards to presidents. Libraries are an important community resource and their value is immeasurable. They are the original search engines. An entre building offering knowledge, entertainment, and resources. You can do a great service to your community just by signing up for a library card. read more

Very low capacity available for story time, we come early each week and they won't let us in!

Having worked in Grapevine for quite a while, I finally visited the public library. Wow, it was huge and had just about everything I could hope for, including a vast genealogy department. Before ever setting foot in the facility, I walked the grounds admiring the artwork (sculpture adorning the area heading into the front doors) and incredible landscaping (a running fountain and plant life). Of course residents of Grapevine qualify to apply for a library card. In addition, employees of the city are also eligible for one. Too bad I don't live in Grapevine; however, I am free to use their services but without the ability to check out material. Very gracious! PLEASE visit your local library. read more

What a great library! Great programs, friendly staff, caring and inclusive. Easy to find materials, online is great too, easy checkout.

The staff here are so kind and helpful. Nice private rooms and great activities for kids.

Whenever we are in Grapevine, we take our grandson to the library here. The staff is so nice and helpful and we love the book selection for kids! The fish tank is always fun to see! read more

Okay so I go here very often now, it's usually very quiet in here but some people bring over their little ones to the adult side of the library and let them run around and scream which is super annoying when you have A.D.D and try your best to concentrate on reading a book. Anyone with littles ones who bring them over to the adult side of the library, please be considerate of others around you that are trying to read/study. No one wants to hear your kids screaming like banshees and running up and down the book isles. read more

Great place to study for homework. The library staff is very helpful with research and locating that hard to find book. Easy check out for items. My only qualm is that they do not have a large selection of books on CD or MP3. They do have very current books on NY times best seller list. Very large magazine selection as well. One of my favorite libraries. read more

Really wonderful library! They have puppets and such in the children's area that the kids can mess around with. As well as an old green bathtub that my daughter loves to climb into to read her books. They have a very homey library, and a sectioned off teens area, which I'm sure the teens really like having their own area. We really like their summer reading program and they have some great activities come thru there! read more

Great place to study and do homework. They have some private study rooms and large tables for you to spread your things out. Always plenty of computers to use, fax, copiers, and color copies. Good children's area and DVD collection. read more

Grapevine Public Library - Libraries Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

The library formerly was five stars. Then they "improved" the computer system. All of the old benefits are gone. It doesn't pull up new books unless you have a specific name. If you put in the author's name it pulls up books from approximately 2011 to 2015. I can't do a "hold" without phoning the library. It no longer shows the current list of top novels. How can the City of Grapevine allow this inferior programming to continue? I don't know if it is still happening, but the library computers were down because the new improved computer system didn't work with the computers. Only the computers for the staff worked; not the guest computers. read more

Having moved to Grapevine from out of state, I had my Grapevine library card before I was able to get a Texas driver's license. We used the Grapevine libary a lot at first for various tasks, but some disappointment is beginning to set in. When I had a disagreement with our property managers and wanted some insight into Texas law on the issue, my request for information caused them to vaguely throw up their hands and say "We don't know where to look!" I had very much the same reaction a few weeks ago when I asked for information on local community colleges and programs to improve job skills. Now imagine my surprise when told that this library does not participate in any inter-library loan programs. This after roaming the stacks and not finding many books on topics of interest to me. I have actually only ever checked out one book that came to my attention after being mentioned in another book I was then reading. This library has a large children's area, and large collection of old movies on DVD (which allowed me to view many movies not available elsewhere). From what I can tell, they have a lot of genealogy resources, but is probably no of great use to me as I am not a native Texan. In short, this library feels short-sightedly limited to a narrow range of Grapevine residents, and leaving many others to look elsewhere for library services. I now have a library card from another local city, and have already signed up to brush up my software skills. read more

I traveled to the Grapevine PUBLIC Library to do research on my family. It was my understanding from Denton County the Grapevine PUBLIC library had a great genealogy section. The library opened about 7 minutes late, so 10:07am, I told the 1st person I saw I was a non resident visitor, no problem, and asked where the genealogy section was...she pointed the way to that section. The door to the genealogy department was locked!!! I had to ask another librarian when it would open and I was told "SHE ISN'T HERE TODAY! " ??? and the only genealogy research I could do is on standard internet access computers in the library!!! The genealogy department, has its own computers dedicated to that department with different databases!!! I never got a response when I asked when SHE would return or who HER name was, but I find it ridiculous that a PUBLIC library restricts research on ancestry, because 1 person controls that department!!! Is this every Friday? Is this restricted even more than what I encountered? Even if this woman donated 100% of the materials that are 1000% locked up behind glass walls and doors, it still should be accessible to the PUBLIC!!! NO SIGN ANYWHERE indicates the genealogy dept is closed on certain days , nor should it be closed AUTONOMOUS of the rest of the library it's housed! I expected better of the city of Grapevine, what a disappointment and waste of my time! read more

Okay, you know what to expect out of a library so let me just highlight some of the extra awesome things that Grapevine Public Library has. They have a drive through. Get online, request what books you want, and they'll shoot you an e-mail saying they are ready for you. Just drive up and pick them up, and when you're done you can drive up and drop them off. Awesome! Are you one of those fools spending money on Audible? Why?? You can download audio books from the library for free and play them on your iPod, computer, or whatever electronic device you fancy. Lastly, they have self checkout here. So if you are antisocial and don't like interacting with librarians, or you just don't want to wait in line, you don't have to! Also, at one point in time, they had the most amazing collection of Harry Potter paraphernalia on display here. It was a thing of beauty to behold. Just be warned, the front of the library is inexplicably faced away from the street it is on. You will be driving up to the back of the library and be confused about how to go in. Drive around to the other side. read more

My kids love the Music and Movement class here. So much fun. The best part they love of course is the dancing. We love summer reading!

This is a great library especially if you research genealogy. They have a dedicated genealogy librarian and section. I am not a Grapevine resident but I am happy to pay the $25 annual fee to use the facilities. They even have a drive thru to pickup your on hold items provided you call ahead. The on-line resources are plentiful. I drive a very long commute and they have a ton of Audio books online and on CD to check out in the library. read more

Great library with awesome collection - both in library and online. I use Overdrive app with this library and it works wonderfully!

This is one of my favorite places to study because of their more extensive hours and public study rooms. Staff is very welcoming and friendly and the facility overall is big itself, although it is only a one story. Printing is accessible through your laptop or phone simply by sending the document to the grapevine library printing website, which is convenient if you just need to print something and go because you can simply send it from home! read more

Friendly! There was plenty of space for the computers, perfect shaded parking, and they have a drive-through!

I spend time every day they are open at this library. I cannot list the excellent services they provide. Just read the other reviews and you can see just how great this place is. Extremely oriented toward children and teens but you can also use internet linked computers for up to 4 hours a day if you have a library card. My advice, if you are a Grapevine resident, get one. They have a HUGE selection of DVD and CD offerings of the "Great Courses" series. These are expensive to buy yourself and free to check out at the library, If you are on a budget, as I am, you can learn languages, watch movies, take high level courses, listen to audio books; plus they have BOOKS. read more

A really good library. Great children's programs and play area. Staff always friendly. Not as wide a selection as the Dallas library of course. Nice study areas. Lots of programs. Lots of computers. read more

Library has plenty of places to study (with electrical outlets to charge your laptop), the seating can be awkward for me, but I can manage. The library on some days is hot and some days are cool, but during the hot scorching months like August, I would expect the A/C to be on or at least noticeably. The WI-FI connection is generally good, you don't have to worry about signing in and agree with terms, the bathrooms were nice and it was pretty smart to lock the first entrance doors to the bathrooms as thieves may use those doors as their advantage to scat the building. The parking here is good, but you have to be careful and watch out for other cars "suddenly" coming out of nowhere when you back up. It makes me very surprised to see a library with more than five study rooms, that's even more than Coppell, South Irving, Lewisville, and Bedford! The architecture of the place is very nostalgic, gives me late 1990s, vibe but I do love it! read more

I love this library! It is bigger than all neighboring libraries. They have a separate kids and teen section and plenty of places to study. Their book selection is large and they also have online resources where you can check out digital and audio books. read more
