    This library is like a step back in time. It's a nostalgic 2 floors with a big staircase and lots…read moreof rooms used for all kinds of local activities and services to the public. They host tons of events, and when I'm less busy in summer, I enjoy attending the adult craft events. Last summer I even went to the children's exotic animal exhibit because I'm a kid at heart who loves animals. Staff are very kind. And I use my library card most for the Libby app and hoopla app to rent books and audiobooks electronically. There is always something going on and a great selection of books. Take your kids! And ignite a passion for reading!

    Lovely to go to a library and think I'll have peace and quiet, but I didn't at all when I came to…read morethis one. Unfortunately, one of the librarians is a Karen. No one can enjoy themselves with the Karen working, and it honestly ruins the entire experience of a library. Secondly, no where in the policy or guidelines does it state that people can't sit at the back of the library, but yet today while I was sitting there, a police officer pulled up and told me that a librarian had called the police and said I needed to move. A very Karen-like move for a certain librarian to pull off. I had to grab my things and move to the front of the library, just because a librarian woke up this morning and decided she wants to be a Karen today.

    Everyone is nice…read more And LOUD. The employees don't even follow the 'quiet area' signs. I asked for a private study room. They are currently closed at this time. (Not their fault) But they are competing for the loudest library award, for sure. I asked him to please keep down. He said 'Oh sure!' In a booming voice . He is sweet, but maybe doesn't get it? When you have 5 people on computers and two on laptops maybe... just maybe they are doing something very important. I mean, I don't know. I'm just a patron. Continue on... Know of a quiet study place in the area? Asking for a friend.

    After my three previous lackluster library experiences in Texas...I'll admit...I did not have high…read morehopes for this library. But goodness, I was surprised! The clerks were friendly, helpful and informative...none of that snooty "can't bother to talk to you" attitude here. I was quickly assisted in getting a library card and the nice man gave me a tour of the facility. As homeschoolers, we utilize the public library system quite a bit. I was so happy to see that this county has an online system that let's you request books from other branches. JOY JOY JOY....the angels were singing in my head. What is such a standard library service in California is hard to find here in Texas. But the Grayson County Library System kicks butt and they get it done! So thank you Denison Library for being such a great place for my family to enjoy.

    What an amazing resource in the heart of town. I'm not sure if folks realize all the various things…read morethey can do and learn about at the library and community center. In the entrance there are pamphlets and guides on filing taxes, while inside the library there are guide books on how to start a small business, file for divorce, and/or create official landlord/tenant legal documents. If you're curious about genealogy there are historical references with family information from Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, etc dating back centuries. There are even old microfiche machines in the back in case your kiddos have never heard of or seen one of them. Currently they aren't in working order but all microfilms have been converted and are available for viewing in a digital format consistent with today's media viewing. There is a kids section with picture books and a young adult section with every dystopian novel or series you can think of. If your kiddos aren't excited for regular books they even have huge collections of graphic novels and anime type books. If you can't sit and read a tangible book for long periods of time or find yourself on the road a lot they have tons of audiobooks and are also a part of a consortium of libraries for e-books/audiobooks. And lastly if reading isn't your cup of tea they have tons of movies to choose from. Movies paired with the books they were made to mirror are available at the front. I was so impressed with all of the materials readily available here - for such a small space it certainly offers much more than meets the eye at first glance. If you need something printed they do that here for $0.10 a page and if you need help with something the folks that work here are super friendly and are able to help with a myriad of things. Lastly they have a cafe and good wifi available to utilize, along with tons of programs to help with literacy, tutoring, community outreach (including free meals), etc. For all those that didn't know before, now you do! The city has done well to provide this resource that more folks need to utilize and appreciate. Mario and her team have done wonders for this space with the resources available.
