    Richardson residents are so lucky to have such a wonderful resource - and it's free!!…read more I've been a card carrying member for decades! When my boys were young, they enjoyed the Young Author workshops. They were able to make a hard covered book and illustrate it too. In fact, a few years ago the library was downsizing their homemade collection and they even got in touch with me to see if we'd like his book! How wonderful that now my son can share a book he made when he was in the 6th grade with his children! How kind that they took the time and effort to track down the original authors some 30 years later! When I was taking care of my grandchildren before they started elementary school, I would bring them to Wiggle Worms and we enjoyed many of the programs they offered. I have also enjoyed many of the Richardson Reads One Book programs over the years. It was fun to see some of the autographed posters of the authors advertising their RROB hanging in the temporary library space. At the events, I enjoyed hearing directly from the author their "behind the scenes" info about their book. All of the librarians I have ever come in contact with have always been so pleasant and helpful. On a recent trip, I was asking a librarian for a book suggestion. I had just finished reading "Theo of Golden" by Allen Levi and was looking for a book that was similar to it. It ended up being one of my all time favorite books and I was sad when I finished reading it because I loved it so much. The librarian kindly recommended three books to me and I checked out two of them on the spot. As I was leaving her desk, I discovered a seed library that was housed in an up-cycled wooden card catalog cabinet. You have to be a certain age to know what a card catalog is! Ha! So cool!!! I'm so excited that they will soon be re-locating back to the original library location at Arapaho & US 75/Central expressway. This temporary location will close October 11 and then they will start the huge task of moving everything back over to the newly remodeled space. A solid 5 stars for the Richardson Public Library!!!!! Readers are Leaders!

    This is a nice neighborhood library. And it's super quiet in here. This is the quietest library I…read morehave ever been inside in my entire life. And I have lived in 6 states, visited several and been to plenty of libraries all over the place. My mouse for my laptop clicks so I don't want to use it, I'm sticking with the touch pad on my laptop. I am going to do everything in my power not to sneeze, cough or breathe too loud. I'm in libraries and coffee shops quite a lot and have grown accustomed to hearing children's chatter, music or phone conversations. Not here though, it's old school quiet like libraries of yesteryear. There is a large, wonderful area for children but on this side of the library you don't hear them. I love libraries this size. There are chairs, desks, tables, love seats, study rooms, media rooms, meeting rooms and even vending machines for your snack break. The restroom is nice, big and clean. And books, of course, they have a huge selection and if I moved to Collin County, which I probably won't, I would likely frequent this location. I don't know anything about this neighborhood but this library is really nice.

    It was time to get a library card that was mine. Was time to stop borrowing friend's cards. I love…read moreaudiobooks! Why pay for books or buy books when your taxes, as a homeowner, offer you free book rentals! AMAZING!! I love to be read too and you can read a variety of books for free. The best bang for your buck! Really happy I discovered reading books again. Not sure why I ever slowed down. Harrington Library is awesome! Simply need to go in person to apply for the card. It's so simple! It gives you access to ALL libraries in Collin county. Everyone should have a library card! They use the Libby app. The most wonderful app at that too! Easy to use and people friendly. Links you to all libraries. They offer 3d images of mapping plans for children to make their on designs. How cool is that! It's all in house. I think that's awesome to get kids interested in technology at an early age. I wish more people would be interested in being part of a library. It's so cool to have access to knowledge. It's free! If you have a driver license you can join and be a member. I'm sure if you don't have a DL you can still join. Be extraordinary and join any library across the country! May 2024

There's plenty of free parking at the library and close to downtown and other interesting sites. It is clean and quiet with an excellent selection of books and materials along with a dedicated room for resources like sewing, printing, and special crafts.

    "I have always imagined that paradise would be a kind of library." - Jorge Luis Borges…read more Today I walked into a new Library. Well, new to me. It's in Garland, Texas, a town not far from where I live. And it felt like a kids paradise from the moment I walked down the stairs into the children's area. I saw children gathered around for a special event, and they were all filled with joy and many were giggling. What a beautiful experience it was to see such happiness around books. And isn't that what being a child is supposed to be like? The walls were covered with creative nature scenes, just like you're walking into a storybook. And they carved out the sweetest little reading nooks so you could enjoy your time, privately, with a great story. There was a wonderful artistic mobile hanging over the area where you walk down to the children's area, and fun seating for storytime readings. And let's not miss out on the slide kids can go down to get to the children's area. What a fun idea! Hats off to whomever thought that one through! Every person I talked to in this library was genuinely nice. It truly felt like a safe and happy place to be - for both children and adults. I'm coming back with my grandchildren, and I already know it will be a great adventure for us all!
