Love this library! Also, after reading a couple reviews talking about homeless people at the public…read morelibrary, I thought it important at this point to give people a little information about what the Pioneer Public Library offers and who all is allowed/not allowed to be there. So, here goes: First of all, the City of Norman has a non-profit mileage reimbursement program. This program is designed to provide free transportation to individuals and families in Norman who are currently, or who have recently experienced homelessness. The East Norman Pioneer Public Library is one of the participating agencies of this program. So, the public library is qualified and has been approved to be one of the prominent transportation pick-up/drop-locations for those needing such services. Also, the presence of homeless people in libraries is not a problem. The way some of these patrons have spoken about homeless people (and have also given the library a poor rating for allowing open access to everyone) is unacceptable in general, let alone having the confidence to write about ppl experiencing homelessness, which is a dangerous, uncomfortable, and alienating experience, is bewildering. No one is entitled to use the public library more than anyone else. The rules of behavior remain the same for everyone, and anyone can be asked to leave if causing disruption or harm. Public libraries are there to facilitate public access to information... If someone smells, if they talk to themselves, if they have lots of bags with them, etc. - none of these things render someone a non-person or an illegitimate library user. So, either have a one-on-one conversation with the City and Library Director or find somewhere else? And may your surroundings rise to meet your standards... eventually...

I was very impressed, the front staff was very welcoming and enthusiastic about everything the library has to offer. Downstairs is the friends of the library bookstore, the computer lab and various workspaces for those who need internet or a printer/scan/fax. It also houses the children's section, audiobooks and all new fiction. By new, I mean NEW fiction. Stuff I was surprised to see no one had checked out yet. The second level is dedicated to adult fiction and YA fiction. Plus it also has a 3-D printer that can be used by any member and some other gadgets.There was a glass enclosed conference room that looks like anyone could reserve it and the third level is Adult Fiction LARGE print books and Non-fiction. There are so many architecturally interesting details despite it being very modern and there were plenty of areas to study or use your own electronic devices such as a kindle or a laptop. My only gripe is the non-fiction section is lacking. This isn't a library suited for a research paper or academic assignment even for a high school or middle school kid.

The staff is nice and helpful. There was an osteology exhibit this time and it was fascinating and well put together. They have a selection to pick from and all types of seating and studying spaces. Lots of computers for use and I even saw one guy watching a livrary movie on it. Never feels too crowded. I am always worried parking will be a problem, but I have found a close spot everytime I have come. There are homeless who use the facility, but I have never had any issues. None of them seemed to be on anything so security must be monitoring for that.

The customer service staff at the front desk are always friendly and helpful. They all seem to enjoy their jobs and enjoy helping people. I would not be able to make my extra side money without their help. They truly go the extra mile. Aside from the staff, the programs, services, and special events at this library are fun and educational and most of them are free. They offer more traditional events like storytelling for kids but they also offer classes for adults where you learn some new skill all for a very low cost. .

One of the staff members (a man working at the front desk/checkout area) was extremely rude to us. Instead of offering help or speaking politely, he raised his voice and acted disrespectfully when we asked a simple question. It made my family feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Libraries are supposed to be friendly, safe spaces for everyone, but this person's attitude completely ruined the visit. I hope management addresses this behavior so other families don't have to experience the same treatment.
