I frequent several libraries... my fav is the Franklin but come to the Middletown and miamisburg ( Dayton) sometimes. The staff are nice at all.
If I put something on hold at all 3 ... I will get it faster from Franklin and slowest from Miamisburg (Dayton) but sometimes the bigger libraries have something my little Franklin library doesn't. Middletown library isn't in the best neighborhood not sure how the other branches are ... id bet nicer. Most always see several homeless and sketchy people outside and around the entrance. I smells of pot are likely. Once a saw a huge roach there after I set my audiobook on their chair. Made me never sit on their chair again. I came at night once yo drop off things that were due and had a bad experience a man tried to car jack me but I got away. It was obviously last time I went near it at night. They do sometimes have a security guard inside but at Franklin I feel safer and never had bad experience. read more
