    This library is a place to socialize rather than actually get any work done…read more Positives: printer(color or black and white), teenager section, adult section, children section, winter programs, summer programs, constant prizes, raffles, and opportunities to win items, you're able to renew items with no charge, and it's very disable-accessible. Negatives: charges for printing, lots of papers to sign, difficult process for cards, expiration dates for cards, lose a card? You have to pay for another one have to be a certain age to use certain computers, have to have your card ON YOU to check anything out, charges for late gain quickly, attitudes from workers(specified later), and loud for a library. For the rude workers: Renee: VERY RUDE. She's the main worker. She's in charge of both the children's section AND the teenager section of the library. While she's pretty good at taking charge of the children's section, she has NO idea what she's doing in the teenager section. She's on top of everything in the children's section, but when it comes to the teenagers, she's coming in late to the programs, shutting down some of the favorite programs, never refills the snacks that the teenage section is known for and loved for, and is fairly rude to all the teenagers. I have also heard that she is very rude to the workers as well. A bad person in general. She's seen at the children's section most of the time. The workers behind the counter and in the teen section are very nice people! I love talking to Shannon and Danielle. While the people upstairs can be rude at times, the people behind the counter on the main floor are very polite and love to help with any problem that you have. Mostly pleased with this location. Renee is the only reason why I put this rating at 3 stars. You'd think I'd put it at four, but the negative effect she has on the library is so great that I have to put it a 3. I recommend this library to a LOT of people, I just recommend to stay out of the children's section.

    This is my favorite library on the planet. Maybe because it's in my home town. I moved away from…read moreCoal City when I was 15 and have never found a library quite like this one. It is a landmark in the community. It's a beautiful library. It has so many fun things for kids to do, especially during the summer. There are computers for people to use, printers to print things out if you don't have a computer, lots of kids books and things for kids to do, rooms to hold meethings in - you name it, this library's got it.

    The P-ville Public Library is my favorite library (aside to the Naperville 75th Street Public…read moreLibrary!) Their computer monitors are very state-of-the-art; they have the ability to rotate almost completely sideways (watch sideways) & the height can also be lowered or raised -if You like to sit up high and keep the screen at eye-level! They move a couple more ways but, they do not tilt backwards -which would be necessary if You stood up and we're looking down at the monitor. Their media catalogue contains literally hundreds of great DVDs & a similar amount of Blu-rays! They offer a large selection of biographies/autobiographies; such as Erika Jayne's autobiography! Their second floor consists of 8 computers (4 on each side with) lots of desk surface for Your things! Drinks are okay if they have a lid/cap. Don't worry about space if You bring Your own device(s); they have about 8 personal tables for You & 2 friends (3 seats total!) Take note that not all tables have a charging outlet located on the floor. There is also a large area to the left (which is circular) for about 15 people to work privately! Not sure yet about the outlet situation over there. Bring large charging cables for Your devices in any situation. The computers have many charging outlets on the desk; charge 4-5 things if needed! It's probably best to bring a "multiple USB" usb adapter; there is only one usb port on the monitor with others possibly located elsewhere. The monitor has an SD card reader; buy an SD adapter to load files on Your TF/Micro SD card and place Your uploaded files on the micro so card into Your teléfono! It's a perfect library with even more perfect Librarians -my favorite aspect of anyplace that I visit! Shout out to Colette, Carmela, Andrea, Heather, Niel; my favorite Librarians!!! Neil says, "The language; it's unacceptable." I replied, "That movie is too fuc**ng funny!"

    I like it! After college I swore off libraries and then I…read morehad a baby... I did some research, wanting to get my daughter involved with other kids & activities, and voila! Free classes at the local library sounded great. We've attended the Baby & Me- walk in & offered Mon-Wed and Fun w/ Music- registration required. The staff is friendly and the resources are plenty. It's conveniently located in downtown Plainfield with plenty of parking- street & private lot.
