    This review is for the Route 66 Museum located inside the Library…read more Find the museum entrance to the right of the information desk. We were not sure what to expect from this community collaboration and it is an excellent collection of artifacts and information. The floor plan is roughly shaped like a "P". We almost passed a whole section so be sure to walk down the side aisle. A guest room has been recreated using salvaged items from an actual guest accommodation. Photos of businesses in their prime. The history of how a tent with cots eventually became a fist class hotel. One area goes over roads made of dirt and organizers trying to get better roads installed. Historical maps show early roadways in different parts of the country. The Ozark Trail association played a large part in updating roads in MO that eventually became part of Rt. 66. Information on the 'Bloody Highway' include mass murderers and sad accidents. You'll also find info on the'Will Rogers Highway'. Room keys, matchbooks, post cards, souveniers. So much very interesting information about who was involved in the creation of Rt. 66, how it was consteucted, how businesses changed through the decades and more. You can quickly walk thru, look at the many recreated full scale business models and photos, or spend a couple hours reading all the information. Free of charge. Donations welcomed.

    Not a good experience for me. Ordered the wrong book all they wanted to do was argue with me about…read morewhose fault it was I will not go back there. They won't post anything under three stars

    Modern library, though the layout is both good and bad. Good flow but bad for noise…read more Kids area transmit sound to magazine and all other areas, the librarians behind desk are often too loud conversing with each other or patrons (due to bad layout and periods of boredom when there is no one there?). And Frequent flopping of the swing door and some staff loudly putting stuff away (think angry dishwasher loading)...ugh They need a glass partition like at the library in Sedalia, more study rooms... I've rarely seen any students even during peak after school hours... They need to rearrange the the tables and move some librarians from the cluster area... I tried moving to different areas but noise/sound seeps into every area...the architect or interior designer needs to get a sound meter and understanding of how sound travels...though it's on the staff now and hopefully they will figure out a better rearrangement...and vacuum the seats to remove the cat/dog/human hair/dust. *To staffs credit they sometimes spray the seats and pipe instrumental music in the center to offset noise...and reduce fees on faxing (Camden libraries have free outgoing).

    Looking for a place to kill time before a meeting, I remembered that all small towns have decent…read morelibraries with free wi-fi, even if they don't have a Starbucks. This particular library is outstanding, spotlessly clean and a heavenly place to visit on a hot, sticky day. The librarians had some very classical music playing in the background and the a/c was perfect. There are plenty of comfy chairs and tables, lots of good light and super clean restrooms. I found a plug by one of the comfy chairs to charge my phone and check my email. Beware though, there is a strict NO CELLPHONE policy in place. I'm thinking texting and checking email is okay, chatting is not. Check the used book section as you come in, I bought two hard back books in perfect condition for .50 each!! There is a large children's section and the requisite public computers. What an oasis in the middle of nowhere, this lovely library is. Unfortunately, they will lose a star because as I was leaving at 5pm (they close at 5:30) I heard the librarian say "Hey folks, I'm going to shut the wi-fi down." Are you kidding me? Is that wi-fi switch on top of a big mountain, accessible only by helicopter? Lame, our taxes pay your salary, this place is very important to so many people. Please don't do this close early because one of you wants to go home early.
