But also be aware that libraries have so much more these days. The Batavia branch has games you can borrow, stem kits for kids, a seed library! On top of that check out the events on their website or social media, they have so many free activities for adults and kids alike, from art activities to movie nights to so many more. We have been to paint nights for both adults and even my 1 year old, they had a cool baby race my daughter participated in, we gave been to trivia and always participate in their summer read program. Stop on by they have stuff for everyone!

While its definitely NOT the huge glass roofed facilities one finds in universities and big cities, its definitely a notable one of a kind place all it's own that I'm personally quite fond of. The staff is kind, helpful and polite and all in all this library offers incredible value to the community.

In the urban decay town of Medina, NY - this little library is a life saver. Though the library…read moreitself is rather small, they will quickly get you any books or DVDs from more than a dozen other branches if you request them. Everyone who works at this library is very friendly and they update their Facebook page frequently. They're very in touch with their community and they do a lot of out reach to encourage reading and socialization for local children. There are also always flyers of events going on. I come here at least a couple times a month and I also feel comfortable letting my son play on the reading carpet in the children's area and nursing him in a quiet corner of the library. I don't know what I'd do without this library! I wish that they could get more funding so they could run more programs and do more stuff.

At first glance the library may seem typical, full of books, movies, video games and magazines, lining shelves. Like all libraries these days the card catalog has been upgraded to a computer look up system for ease for all. But what sets it apart is the kind and caring staff, that takes the time to get to know you, offer recommendations and host events. Whether you are a child or an adult, you will find something for you. Not much of a reader? Check out one of their technology classes, holiday parties for kids and families, and free art classes for kids, and also separate art classes for adults. Although the ground floor is small, it holds the adult section only, while the kids room comes alive down stairs. Displays are updated, and activities and fun abound. Stop on out to this neat little library and check out all the cool things it holds!

This sweet little small-town library in the heart of the quaint Lyndonville village is such a…read moredarling space! It is essentially a one-room library, with one corner set up nicely for children, and fiction, non-fiction, and periodicals in the other corners, plus movies and seating in the middle. As part of the Nioga Library System, patrons have access to this small but well-kept and well-cultivated in-house collection here, and also to request holds from across all Nioga branches. But you'll still find a nice assortment of books, movies, periodicals, and other resources right here. We have our camp property nearby, and like to stop in for DVDs and magazines to enjoy while at camp, especially when rain is expected (which has been most days this summer in soggy Orleans county). Also part of this library is a small adjacent building with an ongoing used book sale that is open whenever the library is open. We've picked up some fun finds at great deals there. The librarians here are always friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help. And parking is plentiful in the good sized lot. Also, keep an eye out for the library's schedule of events, which includes free concerts throughout the summer on the back lawn. If you are so fortunate to be in the adorable Lyndonville area long enough to necessitate some library check-outs, the Yates Community Library is well worth the visit! :-)

A beautiful facility for all ages. Not meant to be a workout gym, but a recreation facility that…read moreincludes courts for basketball / pickle ball or anything else that's played on a floor. This is surrounded by a second floor track of 1/10 mile with separate lanes of walking and running. There's many community rooms for all sorts of classes offered thru the Chili website and a complete senior center. The new library is outstanding and shares the same building. Unfortunately, there is only one entrance for all the areas. Thus, in busy times, the parking spots close to the door fill up fast and it should be interesting to see seniors having to walk a distance to get out of the snow when winter sets in. There are emergency exits on the side which could be adapted as secondary entrances directly into the senior center under adverse conditions.

let me just say the facility is very nice but half there are so many times where the whole center…read moreis closed. I'm sorry but you shouldn't be closing the entire community center for, it's supposed to be open to the publi. The worst thing if you're looking to shoot some hoops, we'll forget about that it's closed almost every day for pickleball or some other stuff. again I'm sorry but the whole court should not be closed off to people just wanting to shoot hope everyday. I came from Irondequoit where there gym was open almost everyday, even when they had events they don't close an ENTIRE, huge double gym, they just say "hey stick to the far right corner hoop" "sure no problem" this is absurd, I pay taxes and can't even do something I love because it's closed 99.9999% of the time. Like I said you don't need to close off the entire gym just tell people to keep it to one particular hoop, I don't need the whole gym, I understand there are events and such but you do not need to close an entire gym for those. Regretting moving here but my lease is up in the summer and hopefully I'll be moving elsewhere and checking with the community center first. Irondequoit was far better I could go there everyday and shoot, sure sometimes they would say "hey come back at 7:00" or most of the time "just stick to whatever hoop they're not using" and I would always ask with the people playing if it was okay. The worst part is there isn't even any other courts near hear. Hopefully the director sees this and can change some things.

I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to write a review for this library, but let's fix that…read moreright now. I really enjoy this location. You get the charm of the original building paired with the modern beauty of the Bausch & Lomb structure both are worth seeing. The library offers a ton of programs for kids, teens, and adults. Definitely check their website, because there's so much going on. Becoming a cardholder is easy, and once you are, make sure you look into their VIP section, you can snag free or discounted tickets to local attractions. You can check out physical books, audiobooks, and ebooks, and they're great if you need computer access or printing. They also have plenty of study areas and quiet spots to get work done. Honestly, they offer more than most people realize (myself included until recently!). The only downside is parking and it can be a bit tricky. I'm not sure if they validate or offer any vouchers, so it's worth asking. I was lucky enough to find street parking... but yes, you do have to pay. A great library with so much to offer. Highly recommend exploring everything they provide.

The children's section was large with lots of books and plenty of activities.

I was there in early May when everything is just starting. They had a little library book sale and I picked up a David Sedaris book for a quarter. There is a great children's section. There is also a wonderful remembrance area for Flight 3407, in the back. This library also had a cute Sherlock Holmes display case that was donated to the library. This library is clean and beautifully maintained. The librarians were friendly as well. There is a large parking lot. For a Friday afternoon it was quite busy. They had a great work area for people wanting a quiet space.

Plus they were open later, which is convenient for us. So after work, off we went. The Clarence Library has plenty of parking in a big lot, which was light-and-bright on a cold, dark night. As soon as you walk in, you can see the full expanse of the vaulted, open space. It is a nice-sized library, with well-marked sections. Movies are to the right, adult books to the left, teen and children materials in the back, periodicals in the back-right corner, with all the other sections you'd expect to find at a library somewhere in between. There were computer workstations spread out in pod-like setups throughout the space, a few together in each pod, and some chunks of seating areas too. It took me a minute to find my Harry Potter items, as the books were not in Youth or YA, but rather in a separate "Series" section in the middle of the library. And the movies were in a separate "Family Viewing" section, too. But a friendly librarian helped me find everything that I needed, which was all in stock. Clarence is a very nice, bright, inviting library. When we need something and the hours/availability are convenient again at Clarence Library, we'll be back! :-)
