Holy mackerel, it's hot in New Mexico (that's not news) and while waiting for dark, this was a fantastic stop. The library is quite large and there's lots of seating. Of course, tons of fiction, non-fiction, reference, periodicals, children's, young adults and media. I found a desk with power outlets and windows that was quite comfortable. The staff is polite and helpful. You do not need to be a Roswell resident to use the library, only to borrow materials. [Review 17444 overall - 57 in New Mexico - 962 of 2022.]

I just love our little library. It is quiet. Access to computers. And it has a large selectionread more

I came here for the first time this past weekend to finally sign up for my library card. I'm…read moreimpressed, even surprised, by the quality of this library for it being in Lubbock. Also, this location was my only choice because it's the only branch open Sundays. The collection is entirely on the main floor. When you come in, fiction is mostly to the left and through the center, children's in the back left corner, non-fiction center back, and a huge section for genealogy research in the back right corner. In the front right side and corner is a computer area open to all visitors - it seems like a first come first served situation. There's also an armed police officer who seems to be always on duty here at a desk near the front. It's actually my first time seeing this in a library, and I come from a much larger city. Staff was helpful in getting me signed up. Probably the greatest benefit is in being able to join the Libby app for ebooks and audiobooks. But nothing will beat the brick and mortar library for things like graphic novels and a nice focused place to study.

Lubbock's central library, Mahon, is near the Civic Center in downtown Lubbock. Plenty of…read morecomputers, always a cool place to hang on a hot summer day, and a small, but decent supply of fiction and non-fiction books. For a growing city, I think they should be expanding their stock of books, but you can generally find a book or two on your topic of interest.

This is a beautiful modern Library. It actually looks newer than it is. It doesn't look like it'd…read morebe more than a couple of years old but when I asked the librarian she said it was built in 2002. It's kind of out in the boonies with nothing else near it but a lake that looks man-made. Inside it is absolutely beautiful. The restrooms are very clean and include a baby changing area. There are lots of books which I unfortunately couldn't check out since I don't live in town. It isn't the friendliest Library for a stranger compared to others I have been to. I carry my smaller eBay items with me when I travel and needed to come in here to print a label for a rubber stamp I had sold. I had to go through a bit of a rigmarole and pay a dollar to be able to use the internet either on their computers or on my personal phone. I went ahead and paid it but I have to mention that very few of the libraries I pop into when I travel charge to use their computers or their Wi-Fi. In fact I can only think of one other, in Indiana, and the last time I went in there they did not charge for it any longer like they had 5 years ago. I was able to get my jobs done and the printing charge was nominal, 15 cents per copy, so my total was only about 90¢ for everything I wanted to print out. If I sell anything else on eBay I suppose I will be back again but it kind of cuts into my meager profit to have to pay a dollar just to print a label out.

My experience here was brief but good. I had come in to hear the grandsons of Crazy Horse give a…read morelecture and the venue was listed as the Harrington Library Consortium, but when I went to the address it turned out to be the Downtown Library. I have driven past it but had never been in it. I didn't have occasion to use the computers or check out books but it looked like they had a large selection. I can't give them 5 stars as long as they charge people to use the computers. That's not very helpful to out-of-towners that need to find a computer and print something out. It means it costs us $1.20 a copy instead of $0.20. Later I found out I could have things printed for $0.15 at OfficeMax so I stopped coming to the library. If I lived in town and wanted to check out a book though I'm sure it would be fine. The two people I asked directions of were friendly enough. The first one didn't know the answer so she pointed me over to the other one. She directed me to an upstairs room where I managed to catch the second half of the lecture since I was running late. The lady who seem to be in charge of the event was super friendly and pleasant. I'm sorry I don't know names.

One of the movies will be "missing" and you would have to pay 37 dollars for it, plus late fees. No matter whom I call, circulation, each library, etc. They give you the run around and referred you to another library. In the end you end up paying for the movie and more.

I hope they keep up the good work and bringing in interesting speakers for the enlightenment of their patrons.

You can often see groups of them here along with parents doing storytime and other activities. It is, therefore, not usually quiet here as the building is also quite small. There's also a huge selection of mostly fiction, a smattering of nonfiction, DVDs, and a waning collection of audiobooks on CDs. Unfortunately there is not a music collection. You can also access a digital library on the Libby app with your membership here. Through there you can find even more audiobooks in particular. There are computers with internet access and limited seating for reading or study. They are always clean and organized. There's a community info board in the lobby, a "free stuff" box, small selection of books for sale for a quarter each, and some library themed things for sale too. Staff always does a good job of displaying monthly themed material. Recently they put up a display of banned books - how edgy! Check the calendar of events for the occasional movie nights and more.
