This is the closest branch of…read morethe Chemeketa Cooperative Regional Library Service (CCRLS) to my home, and so it is where I pick up my books reserved via hold requests. That process has been consistently smooth and efficient. Everyone I've encountered here has been polite and clearly engaged in their job. I've had great conversations about books, reading recommendations, and even baking tips! The staff work hard to inspire people in the community to read and learn. Since COVID (and possibly before) the librarians regularly post videos geared towards child enrichment, with story times, crafts, baking, and science experiments all being offered. I think this is a cool, thoughtful service. They also put on library reading challenges, offering participants the chance to win cool prizes (for both adults and kids) from various community businesses. The building itself is a nice size. It has both a cozy and open feel with high ceilings. They offer a sizable amount of computers for public use, as well as places to read and/or study. It is always peacefully quiet in there when I stop in. I feel fortunate to have access to such a fine resource staffed with hard-working and passionate people. It is a gem!

I was disappointed in the noise level - it's more like a daycare center than a library environment, and it's not just loud kids because the adults are also speaking in full voices. If you are looking for a quiet place to read or study, a place where people speak in reverent library-whispers, do not look for that here!

Completely empty, and empty in the middle of an unprecedented heat wave when the outside…read moretemperature is 112 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is a designated "Cooling Location" for the residents. How? Why? I find this a little weird. Very small library, but nice and neat as a pin inside. The outside looks kind of like a retail storefront. It's right on Main Street in the old part of Dallas. Very helpful staff and the Wi-Fi is very fast, even running it through a VPN. Nothing I like better than an empty library so I can have any seat I want.

She is just fantastic with all the children. We have only been about 5-6 times so far, but my daughter that is 1.5 years old just loves it! Motion Monday's are so cool! It's music and dancing! It gets pretty hot in that room so wear layers so you can peel off as it warms up. Story times seem like they always include a craft at the end, which my daughter is just barely old enough to start enjoying. This is such a great thing our community library puts on. I am so thankful for it. It's awesome to see the amount of kids and active parents that show up! Our little library is truly a gem. They also have a great children's section in the library. My daughter loves to go over there and play and read books. Another perk to the library is their free wifi and computers they have. It's just an all around neat place. If you haven't utilized our great community resource, I highly suggest you do!!

The staff members were uniformly knowledgeable, patient and helpful. The building and furniture is comfortable and pleasant. A number of the work tables are near electrical outlets. The library appears to have a good collection of books although that was not the purpose of my visit.

I am not sure if it's the workers or the rules but they make you want to leave and do not really assist in helping you find work by maintaining clean clothes, being able to have your things ironed and overall make you feel like your a nuisance and a problem. Kinda shows why people would rather be out in the cold than having a 5 minute shower and a warm bed with contentious rules that make you wonder why you strive to be so thankful...
