This location is super close to my house and while I don't visit too often, I do visit enough to know that it is a great spot. There are books galore as well as so many other items for the public including seeds for planting, activities to complete and groups to join. While I listen to audiobooks mostly through hoopla or libby, they do also have some audiobooks on cd that are available when the ones online are not available so this is a win for me when I want to listen to a book and not have to wait. The librarians are so nice and super helpful and keep the space well organized and maintained.

I can sit with my laptop (strong, reliable free WiFi) and get work done, while my kids are nearby having their own fun with books and puzzles. Good amount of adult seating and computers for the size of this library. A window wall of individual cubicles with outlets at each for quiet study and work. Librarians are kind and patient. Good amount of educational programming here too. Parking is generally easy and it's a quick in and out. If you like to study/work/read in a small, quiet space surrounded by books - with or without your kiddos - check out the Eureka branch.

There are usually a few people around, but it's not packed. Grounds are well maintained. Take a break and visit The Awakening!

One of the best!…read more This county library is really the best for babies to kids. The entire lower level is kid heaven! There are computers, magnets, slides, imaging toys, and so many books! You can spend the whole morning here with the little kids if you need to. They even offer baby play time for newborns up to 2 years old every First Thursday of the month at 10 am. This place is also 100% accessibility friendly and the librarians can help if needed.

They also have "themed" book grab bags families can borrow (for example--"going to a hospital", "having a baby brother" etc. with a collection of kids books librarians have helped picked out that will all be related to that theme.)

Since this is my go-to branch, I know where to go. First stop is the new released. I usually get a max of two and pick up the rest I find from the regular stacks. Head upstairs to the fiction and mystery and found a light read and the next two murder/mysteries in a series I am reading. I can't miss a stop by the cookbooks; I picked out two new Mediterranean books and two by celebrity chefs. All done. I love self-check-out! You just set the books on the pad, scan your card, select done and you are good to go. My library bag was heavy today!

The second floor, accessible by steps or stairs has a computer lab and copiers available; like having a private office. Your library card gets you so much more than books...multi media access, free classes, notary services, office space. I always take advantage of the free $5.00 monthly allowance for copies. You can browse online and reserve books for pickup.

For a small town south of a large metropolitan area, there is not much more I could ask of this…read morelocation. (Note that the main branch is located in Arnold, a short drive north of this location.) They offer plenty of activities to bring in teens, adults, and families. The children section has a variety of series to get young readers interested in more reading. Good amount of sitting spots are present along with computers to search the catalog. Self check-out is available, and electronic "receipts" are optional. If the book you want is not there, the computer systems allows library card holders to access books from other libraries "on loan." (ID required to get a library card.) A clothing donation drop-off is located in the parking lot. Now for the more personal side of things. What brought a smile to my face was the cultural breath of the CDs along with modern ones like Taylor Swift. What made me feel at home were the ladies behind the counter who left me use their whole-punch (on more than one occasion) since I couldn't find mine at home. What impressed me is their collection of business/career related books which helped me study over the summers. I write these things, some of them seemingly obvious for a library's inventory, because it occasionally feels like this type of public space is not fully utilized by many communities. So, before buying a resource (for personal, school, or business), see if the local library has what you need. At the end of the day, libraries allows people to save some money and feel a part of a community.

Whether you're coming to read, study, work, or spend time with family, this branch offers a peaceful and positive experience. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Cliff Cave is not my normal library, but I stopped in on Saturday morning on the way home from an…read moreappointment. It's located off Telegraph Road. It was pretty busy and lots of people parking in front on the entry way to do book returns, I guess. The library was bright and clean inside. I just went and looked for a book, found what I needed, and did self-checkout. On my way out I noticed a table with diapers, spices, and paw paws. I wasn't sure what it was about, but I went back to the desk and asked the lady at the counter. The spices and the paw paws were free for the taking. I am not really familiar with Garam Masala, and it was a little packet stapled to pages with history, information, and recipes. So cool! I had also never tasted a paw paw before so I took one of those, too. Their sign indicated they were best eaten same day so I tried it when I got home, it was really good. I will have to see if my regular library has something like this.
