    Books, books on CD, and Play Away!

    They have thinned out their selection of hard bound books. The huge desk for librarians is gone and there are small desks placed around with helpful librarians. They have a different machines for checkout. You have a touchscreen and stack the materials inside the machine, watch the screen to see if they all check out. There is someone there to help.

    We went for a meet the author event with Gordon Korman. The building is super nice. Gordan Korman was an excellent speaker. He kept the kids engaged and was funny! However, like other library events we've been to, there seems to be a lack of planning. We waited outside and none of the doors were labeled and there were no signs up- no one knew what to do. When we were let inside the same awkwardness continued. There were many library employees there so it seems like more could have been done to make it run smoother. Overall it was a great event. I'm glad that Tulsa can get big name writers.

    It's a poke gym and 3 pokestops. Pokemon go.

    Love this huge library! This library has a ton of parking, lots of computers and study space, elevator to get up stairs, and dedicated spaces for children, yourh, and adult fiction. There are also some very nice conference rooms. The restrooms are spacious and we'll lit. The Conner's Corner is a separate area dedicated to children. Beyond all the kids books is an interactive pirate themed area. This is where the librarians do story time. Up stairs Is the teen section and lots of the non fiction. Almost all the computers are upstairs as well. Up there are lots of quite places to read or work and a help desk. It's perfect to let kids feel independent bit still be contained and supervised. The selection is great even for Manga and microfilm. And there is a dive thru drop off for undamaged media and books. The statue of a pile of books out front is a bit of an eyesore.

    This 2 story library has everything! A section for young kids to read and play, lots of computers great for research or just to pass the time, an adult section upstairs, and quiet rooms to study in. I also noticed they have a genealogy section if you need to do that kind of research which is pretty cool! There's an auditorium and conference rooms as well. It can be a bit loud in the kids area of course, but it's very peaceful and quiet upstairs and in the lobby. This is the biggest library I've been to in Tulsa and also my favorite!

    Awesome paintings all over the library

    This is a newer library and is pretty nice. The meeting rooms are excellent however the reservation system is cumbersome.

    I visited the library after attending a block party rally event calling for more transparency in…read moretulsa courts by requiring camera placement in each courtroom and judge chambers. i decided to go in the library after the event in large part because of a previous court case i'd observed, in which a judge asked a party representing herself to provide copies of her piece of evidence, but because the court copy machine was not working, she had to go across the street to print copies from the library. and due to the potential postponement of a court date i surmise such a delay could engender, i'd decided to print a copy of the flyer i received promoting the event from the library printer, as i'd not used any copying machine at that library location since its remodeling. the print and copy station, located on the first floor, at about the middle of the room to the right, facing away from the main court adjacent entrance, was user friendly based on the experience i had. the copy machine charged 25 cents to print the flyer with color, and it would have been 10 cent if i were printing in black and white. further, the copy machine, located in the picture to the far left, includes instructions for how to use it, with the only confusion i'd experienced being which direction to face the document in the insert slot, so you might want to pay a lil closer attention to that aspect than others when printing a copy. lastly, having not visited the library for any significant amount of time since the installment of study rooms to the second floor, i got a close look into some of the several reservable glass enclosement quiet rooms overlooking downtown, a distinct feature among all library locations i've visited, in tulsa or otherwise.

    If you haven't been down to the Central Library in downtown Tulsa you are missing out. I attended…read morefor an event and the space was perfect! Great place to host events, ample spots for vendors to set up, great conference room space. Parking can be a bit tricky but the parking garage felt safe and secure. You do have to keep in mind that there are homeless in the area but I did not have any concerns.
