I've been coming to this lovely library since 1952. Children's story hour with Mrs. Crisco, and picking out my own books! It is my happy place and the architecture is beautiful. Cozy reading nooks, friendly competent librarians. Wonderful dark and heavy library tables and chairs set quite the mood as well as comfortable leather seating options. A bank of computers with printing options available and helpful staff for assistance. Perfect for tucking in on a rainy day or reading the many available magazines and newspapers! Enjoy the views through the leaded glass windows of the beautiful landscaped grounds and relax a while. You won't be disappointed! Join Friends of the Library and enjoy notices of coming events and services...you won't be disappointed! read more

The architecture and history of this library is worth the stop. The grounds of the library are beautiful and well manicured. Trees and flowers are labeled. The librarian will give you a tour and share with you the history of this beautiful building. Not the usual type or style of building you would find in a small east Texas town. Built in 1934 during the Big oil Boom. In addition to being a Beautiful library, we spent a little time in the children's section. Great selection of titles and genres for all levels of readers. On the bulletin board we quickly checked out some of the summer activities. We live out of town. But if we were local this would be a place we would frequently come too. read more

Smells horrible. The workers are rude. Book selection is minimal and to get another book from a different library sent takes weeks. Plus they charge fines when you've put the book in the book drop box and I almost had to pay for a lost book until I begged them to check the drop box. They aren't even open after 5 or on the weekends for those who work or go to school. I have stayed away since almost getting charged for a lost book and can't say I ever want to get another one from them after that whole ordeal. read more

Even with the earlier closing time, I'm certain we had time to get a card and the books my kiddos needed for a report. I even had a list of the books needed. We will be traveling further to get our library cards to a library that embraces and encourages literacy, as this one seems to be a lost cause My advice for the library management is to seek employees or find volunteers that will welcome patrons, not turn them away because they want to leave early.

Come and participate or come and watch because there is fun for people in all walks. I HIGHLY suggest it!
