Aside from this courtesy, the staff members are very friendly and helpful... literally always! Today, I chose to work from this location. The facility is very clean and pleasant in its decor. It is also very quiet, even when kids come after school. Check out the pictures below... Highly recommend this library! (P.S.They don't even charge fees for overdue books; just try to return them as soon as possible.) This library is a gem!!

When I parked I knew this place would be a spot that we would be coming to, often. This library has so much to offer. Not only do they have an abundance of books, but they have learning rooms, adult events, children events, an amazing children's library section, a rooftop terrace to enjoy a book or a nice beverage, many classes, the list goes on and on. When we finally made our way to the children's section I was wowed by the aquariums, Dr Seuss room, large car like jungle gym and the staff. They had so much information to provide and hosted so many events. What an amazing library. The best I've ever been to by far.

It has a fantastic genealogy area upstairs, a great kids area with plenty to do, it offers so many things like a makerspace type area, and it's just a gorgeous library.

This library is located on the shores of the River Raisin. During the early spring, you can see the sugaring taking place at the nearby Navarre-Anderson Trading Post. The site is a beautiful place to observe the changing seasons in Monroe. The accommodations are excellent and there is a separate children's library. There are many cultural events that take place here, such as jazz concerts, movies, etc. I'm glad I found this branch of the library!

In addition to the customary books, you can check out movies, music, magazines, and even ebooks. Miss Heidi, one of the children's librarians, does a fantastic baby story time and an equally fantastic story time for 2-5 year olds. Another great perk is that you can request any library material from any Toledo library and it will be sent here. When it arrives, they email you.

The library is quiet (duh) and well maintained. They have many public computers for others to use, easy parking right out front, and my personal favorite is you can put books on hold and pick them up right by the computers. They have a few large tables, some comfortable chairs, and plenty of books for you to use. I've also studied here and their free Wifi is excellent!

There is some limited seating outside.  The building itself is attractive and modern looking.  At the same time it has classic styling which hints at Frank Lloyd Wright.  Either there is some influence there or he had his hand in it. The parking lot is kept clear even during inclement weather, and, this being Michigan, we get our fair share of that.

The library I grew up with always had tiny asian kids running around causing a raucus (I was one of them, till age 10). Nevertheless, I was really impressed as I drove up to this beautiful glass building with regal architecture (for Perrysburg, anyhow). There are several dropboxes in the front of the building guided by the driveway. Why leave your car in 19 degree weather? Inside the building, it's clean and well-lit, and the room is lined with plenty of places to sit. Along with plushy chairs, there are neat little booths all around that you can sit in to do some work. The children's section takes up about half the main floor. I haven't ventured in there to claim MY Harry Potter, but it looks impressive and spacey. There are also several computers that are surprisingly not ancient. What surprised me most about this library was it's vast, up-to-date DVD collection. There's no limit on how many DVDs you can check out, and you can hold it for 1 week. You can also check out books for up to 4 weeks, which is pretty amazing. I remember the good old days when books can be borrowed for only 2. The staff is made up of friendly old women and nerdy clerks. I love this library. Sign out of facebook and check it out, Perrysburgers.

My only wish is that the state of Ohio shifts come funding back to our library system so the hours could improve!
