We are full time travelers so we visit libraries in different places. Payson Library is very…read morepretty, has lots of books, and a nice bookstore where I bought books for .25. However, I can only give three stars because it's one of the noisiest libraries I've been in. The librarians hold conversations (not just about books) with patrons at full volume. Constantly. And patrons seem to take the cue as well--loud talking and laughing. We're grateful for the library but would have appreciated more quiet.

Clean, inviting entrance, good parking, well laid out, quiet. The staff seemed friendly.read more

I found out this morning that there's an employee in this building that cannot read English or is…read moreilliterate and cannot follow through with a request. A DVD has to be taken from where the Dropbox is inside the building to somebody else in the building. I've been informed that whoever the employee is cannot do this and therefore the DVD hasn't been getting to the right person. I would suggest employing some people that have got some work ethics and can follow through with this simple task.

Impressive library that's huge and very well organized, aesthetically pleasing, holds an extensive…read morecollection of books for all ages, as well as looks well maintained. We enjoyed our little visit here though we only had a little over an hour before closing. The children's section takes up about half of the second floor. There's tons of books (obviously), DVDs, periodicals, and even artistic creations by children and community members. Looks like that's also a lot of different programs and events you can attend or join here. The building itself is quite inspiring as it's got some very nice architectural features like angled walls, wood paneling for ceilings, lots of use of metal textures and non symmetrical designs which really makes this library an interesting place to hang out at. There's even a cafe on the first floor in case you get hungry. Overall, we enjoyed our visit.

And I will always be grateful to them for providing materials during Covid. Sadly, the quality of service has since really deteriorated. Most of the older, experienced folks who worked there for years have left. The replacements often do not know what they are doing, and instead of taking responsibility or apologizing, they are rude and blame the patron. There are still some really kind, helpful people there, and PPL still does a good job of acquiring new material. Unfortunately, some bad apples are spoiling the barrel.

They have a nice aquarium but the fish are super skittish when anybody walks by then they barely come peeping out. Some odd type yellow fish are in there.

Other programming may be a one time thing. Regardless, there is something of interest for all. There is an Information Highways brochure that has the programs for the month. The library website also provides current listings. Come try a class or informed talk. Many classes/talks are free or minimal cost. We attended a Dark Sky talk on 3/28. This group is dedicated to reducing light pollution and protecting the night environment. We enjoyed astro-photography photos. The group has been presenting some interesting subject matter. Free to attend. They have their own parking lot and WiFi.

The main area of the library is already noisy, so it was frustrating when 30 minutes into my reading, the lady with short grey hair started restocking books. She was making so much noise and I even had my Bose headphones on. How come we can't have a quiet place in the library anymore? You would think the employee would wait to restock if there was something reading- it's common library etiquette.
