I visited the Jamestown Public Library after I decided that I wanted to begin reading again. I had…read morenot been to a library in years and I was very skeptical about the selection this historic building would have. I was very pleasantly surprised! I stopped by one evening and as soon as I walked in it was like going back in time in the best way possible. This building is absolutely beautiful inside and out. I was helped by the library manager, Jim, and he was very friendly and helpful. He explained that the building was built in 1915 and was originally a school for the area. After being used for years it was almost torn down, but the alumni saved it from destruction and it was turned into a public library. There is a big array of books in all different genres and subjects. I saw some new releases I want to read as well as classics and everything in between. It was great to explore what they had in such a peaceful and beautiful setting. Jim let me know about book clubs they have, children's story times and that they offer e-Books, DVDs, and audiobooks too. He was very helpful and informative. I was able to make my selection and was given my own library card and saw that they still use the nostalgic stamps when you check your books out! I left with my book, my new library card, and a new excitement for reading!

Came here on a Wednesday morning to get out of the house and apply to jobs. I live at the edge of…read moreHigh Point so it was only 12 minutes from my home which is a good location. There are three things that I pay attention to when visiting a library, (1) the WiFi, (2) service to patrons, & (3) sitting space. As far as Jamestown Public Library fares, (1) the WiFi was shoddy. I had to reconnect at least 5x (which didn't take long but still), (2) the receptionist halfway spoke to me when I walked in so the service was "meh." I later saw other librarians who asked if I needed help so that was nice. Lastly, (3) I sat in the corner at a table. The area had ok lighting and there were plugs available for my computer and phone. It's important to not that library is sort of old fashioned so don't expect too much.

It's also right next to LaBauer park and the children's center so it makes for a great day out together.

You can use the printers with a library card for 10 free prints a day (they are $0.15 each so up to $1.50/day). I will say just like with any place you need to be aware of your surroundings! There were a couple of times I was making sure I kept an eye out, but luckily there are a lot of people around as well as a security guard that makes his rounds. This made me feel super safe! The restrooms were also relatively clean!

The setting is so serene and unexpected that I almost thought I had taken a wrong turn when I went to meet someone there. However, when making my last turn, there it was in all its archival glory. The Greensboro Public Library - Kathleen Clay Edwards Branch is simple and stunning all at once. It has mid-century modern architecture, with well-kept grounds nestled in the forest. Since I was at the library for a meeting, I didn't get to explore any of its collections. However, I loved seeing the long, welcoming entranceway with its bench and wall of plaques. Once I entered, there was a rotunda with a beautiful mural on the ceiling, and smiling staff to greet me. The place was clean and had that familiar smell of old pages and adventures waiting to be read. There were separate study stalls, meeting rooms, a Children's Reading Room, a Computer Room, and a Sun Porch (which is where I planted myself). This library was different than any I have been to, with greenery all around it. It was very peaceful, inside and out. I will definitely be back, and it is a Kiesha Speech-recommended library, for sure. Enjoy!
