In the age of iBooks, Nook, and Kindle...The public library has become a thing of our childhood…read more What used to be the information supercenter is now a dated glimpse of what was... That said, I REALLY enjoy the Roanoke Library. My wife and I moved to Roanoke in July 2011, and I kind of stumbled across this little gem. Here's a summary: - It's small. Cozy, but not too small - every time I go, there's only one or two patrons in the whole place. - Free Wifi. A lot quieter to study/work here than Starbucks. - They carry fairly new items (in my category of interests, anyway). I managed to secure the Steve Jobs biography on hold, within a few weeks of publication. Beats spending the money on Kindle. - A part of the TexShare program, which allows me to borrow books from other libraries after being a local cardholder for 6 months. - Good movie selection, and blu-rays. Current stuff, stuff I would think would be "too new" for the library. Also, the week-long policy for movies is a plus. - Decent online holding and renewal system. I can check out a book for 2 weeks, but renew it up to 5 times online. Wow! That's cool. All in all, this childhood place of memory has re-entered my list of favorite places - good resources, friendly staff, and a quiet environment.

The new library is great, if you have not seen it you should check it out! This new facility is…read moregoing to allow the library to do much more for children's programs, community events and to expand their book collection. The management of the library system seems to be doing some great new things. Each time I go in, I am able to find new books that are current and are of interest to me. There are a lot of computer terminals for those individuals looking to gain access to the internet. The new library also has some great work stations with power at each station in the center of the table. This is a very comfortable library now and a strong library system for such a small little community.

My books were in so of course, I had to drop by and grab them!! There are a few changes to the…read morelibrary card policy for this branch. It's free for military and residents, but $25 for non-residents now. The summer reading program calendar has been posted and the events are on their Facebook page in case you need that reminder. They had gotten a new batch of books (including Colleen Hoover's brand new book!) and the staff were all wonderful, as always. We enjoy our Haslet Public Library so much!

I really enjoy visiting libraries and book shops. Haslet has the cutest little library right across…read morefrom a small local park. I'm using the word "little" literally. HasletPublic Library looks like it would fit on a production stage. The bookshelves are tall and close. It's very cozy in here but they do have small tables set up near the window. If you need a computer there are 4 available. There isn't much space in the computer area so they're very close together. The librarians were really pleasant which is always nice.

Nice, clean, and bright but surprisingly noisy. This was my first time visiting a library since…read moremoving to Texas and I was shocked at how loud it was. No one whispers; kids were playing with toys babies crying, loud strollers and even parents and staff were talking loudly. They also only have one private room and you're limited to just two hours. Two would definitely be better than one. I wouldn't recommend this location if you're looking for a quiet place to study or get work done. .

The kids section also has some creative play toys, and a puppet stage for the kids to play with. Denton has three libraries and you can pick up books and return it to any of the libraries. The Southbranch is closest to my house so that is the one that we visit most often. The library is well kept and clean, very bright, and has super helpful staff in case you need help finding something. The staff is always very friendly and happy to help. They have numerous volunteers to help keep the library clean, especially the kids section. Go check out this library. I'm sure you will find something you want.

The ambiance is a bit more upbeat that a typical library, almost hip feeling if you will. They have cool teen areas and children's areas that would actually make me ok with going to the library as a kid. Maybe even look forward to it...lol. I say that jokingly, but while I was there several groups of 2-4 kids came in, which I think is a beautiful thing!

So this isn't breaking news or anything, but here's my new discovery for the Keller City Library:…read moreeBooks, audiobooks and Freegal Now I'm not completely thrilled how they work, as checkouts and downloads are limited, but hey, it's free, so I can't really complain. For eBook and audiobooks you are limited to three holds and three checkouts. Lending period can vary from title to title (most are 14 days). The books I've checked out are in Kindle format, which means you need either a Kindle, of one of the the free Kindle reader apps (available for a variety of platforms). Unlike a real book, it does not appear you can return material early in order to check out more material Freegal Music gives you access to millions of songs from over 10,000 labels including the Sony Music catalog of your country (in MP3 format). You are allowed a measly 3 downloads per week. If you are patient enough, you can download entire albums. Another thing I just started looking into is Mango Languages, also available with your library card. Maybe after 10 years of marriage I will finally try to learn some Vietnamese, beyond the most rudimentary of basics that is. As I mentioned in my earlier review, Keller City Library is part of the MetrOPAC system. Other MetrOPAC Libraries, which accept Keller Resident Library cards, are: Fort Worth Public Library Benbrook Public Library Burleson Public Library Haltom City Public Library Richland Hills Public Library Watauga Public Library Oh, and here's a cool tip: If you book is overdue, renew it on-line. If the renew is successful, it's won't be overdue anymore. I'm not sure if this works with DVDs, which carry a stiffer overdue fine. Lastly, this library can be noisy. People just don't seem to know what library etiquette is. Perhaps the expectation of a quiet library is changing. I agree with Tee, if you are looking for a quiet place to study, this may not be the pace for you. The Texas Motor Speedway may be a bit quieter ;-) Nowadays I find bookstores more quiet than libraries, and many even have tables (and coffee shops).

I feel very lucky to have a library like this one in my city. Previous libraries I've been to are…read morenowhere near as active or well stocked with books. You can find just about anything you want here. They always have events and classes at this location that you can do. I especially love that they offer boardgame nights and all of the kid programs. I need to take advantage of those! I haven't used it yet but they have things like a 3D printer you can use, too. When I search for a newer book they almost always have many many copies so the waitlist goes by pretty quickly. The website is convenient to use and I love being able to add books to a to-read list. I can easily open the website in the library to find my books from the list. It will tell you if the book is available or not, too. Using the website to put books on a waitlist or check them out to pick-up is also effortless. Very clean, very quiet. I can't say enough about how much I love this library.
