I stopped in because my sister LOVES Bing, and I ended up learning a lot about him myself. It's a quick stop since only the main floor is available to see. The kitchen, dining room, living room, and a lot of his awards are available to be viewed. They did have a few books, cd's, dvd's, coasters, and a mini record available for purchase. I'm glad I stopped in since it was near my hotel and on the campus and I wanted to stop in the Zags store for a T-shirt as well. Everything is very close together, which was nice.

If you turn on to Charles Rd you will cross the river which provides a nice view of the dam. If you then turn on to Old Charles Rd there is parking at the end. From there, a nice paved walkway will take you past the historic Nine Mile Cottages and around to another good viewpoint of the dam.

Great library overall to kill time besides the mall, but it smells of urine inside. The staff were…read morenice overall. Would like to spend more time just to enjoy the views of rushing water fall, but couldn't really enjoy. Just observation of many patrons not minding their voices. Would probably enjoy a good hour and back to the mall I go. A wonderful library but next visit will probably need to reserve a room to read. Good place over all to stay off wet and windy weather outside.

Any library that has free alternative-band concerts, where they sell beer and wine, is going to get…read more5 stars from me! Ok, and it is bright and airy. And has its own radio station, and I suspect sooo much more. And underground parking. Yes, there are homeless around, but they don't seem to bother anybody, and so there is no complaint there. We'll be back next Saturday for another Winter Concert.

Recently renovated and re-opened. The space feels open and bright…read more Large play area suitable for toddlers and maybe K-3 students. Four computers dedicated to kids, but not nearly enough for peak times. After school the kids stack 2-3 deep waiting for a turn. There are four little study nooks with power outlets, and plenty of other seating and tables. The whole back wall is glass and they did a beautiful job. Open concept favors safety and security but sacrifices volume as the noise tends to bounce everywhere. Overall a huge improvement but easily strained by the volume of users during peak times.

When you're driving down Perry, you can almost miss it. It is a very unassuming building with…read morealmost a hidden stature. There's a very large parking lot, big enough for anyone to find a spot. The parking lot is also decently shaded so it offers a cool alternative to the summer heat. The front doors are automatic and slide directly into the library itself as you pass the desk. As soon as you enter, there is a budget bookshelf of books for sale. Then you get into the real library. They have bathrooms and seating areas and a drinking fountain and computers to use as well as bookshelf upon bookshelf. If you know what you were looking for, you might need to ask someone or use a computer to look it up because there are not great labels on all of the rows. It could also be a little bit cleaner, and a little more organized. If you were just looking to browse, as I often do, then it is a nice place to wander around. I wish they were more comfortable sitting around where all of the bookshelves are, but it's just a dream. They offer a hands-free check out which is very helpful especially when you're an introvert and don't really want to talk to the receptionist. If you do have to talk to them however, they are very nice and helpful :-) I would recommend it for people who have a library card and want to find some thing that will enhance and excite them.

This location happens to be within a few minutes walk from my home. I've been coming here for…read moreyears and have come to appreciate the branch for it's size and selection of books, movies, and music. I also like the kids programs they put out. My daughter has been a part if the summer reading program for years and I believe that has helped her become the avid reader she is today. They also have other children's programs that are a lot of fun. The branch staff has basically been the same for quite a long time and they have always been friendly and helpful. The only issue I have found here is parking during summer months. Because it is located next to a city pool it can sometimes be an issue to find a spot. The Spokane libraries do a wonderful job of making the library experience easy. You can order materials that are located at other branches and have them delivered to your local branch. You can get free music downloads by popular artists through Freegal. Computer usage is easy and you can block times online. If you haven't been for a while you should check out all they have to offer.

It's the greatest place on earth. My idea of a great Saturday afternoon is to spend an hour browsing the aisles of the library and picking out books based on fun titles, cool cover photos and other random selection processes. The librarians at the Shadle branch are friendly and helpful. The kids section is adorable with little couches and blocks strewn about for playing. Overall, great library.

As to be expected there is no automated postal center for self service needs and it's VERY small town feeling.
