    This is the main branch of the Shreveport City Library system. It's housed in the old federal…read morebuilding which used to be the Post Office and Court House. It's a very stately building and is located in the middle of the downtown area. The staff was friendly and helpful. As a visitor to the area, I didn't know what type of system they had to be able to use the Internet. But they had a guest pass system that allowed me to gain access to the Internet. I was a bit bummed that the children's department was as small as it was. I was surprised that it wasn't larger. Being that this was the main library for the Shreveport system, I was surprised that the collection wasn't as up to date as you would think a main library would be. For instance, I found old tax guides on the shelf from the early 1990s. Tax laws change yearly so keeping anything more than several years old is just obsolete after a while. I was also surprised that I was unable to locate any library catalog computers. Since I was there with my dad, we decided to make the trip worthwhile beyond just checking email. We decided to see if they had any books on Clementine Hunter, the primitive artists that we learned about at the Melrose Plantation. I looked for any computers that said library catalog, but couldn't find any. So I just decided to use the Internet computers to do my search. Thankfully, I know my way around a library catalog and quickly located some biographies on Clementine. A good thing to note about this library is that they are a government depository, meaning they have a government documents collection. So, if you're researching congressional hearings or legislation, you can find information here. Also, they have a petroleum documents collection for your oil industry research.

    FYI - the iBistro system is on the same computers that you can use for internet access. you can…read morealso access the system through the internet. the children's section downtown is probably lacking because it is DOWNTOWN... The entire Shreve Memorial system covers Caddo parish and consists of neighborhood libraries that cater to the population.

    Visited SFA for a campus tour, my dad mentioned that I would like the beautiful campus. I truly…read morewasn't amazed after visiting other Texas universities. It was more of a ordinary school that lacks history, traditions and school spirit. My tour guide, Cherish was the bomb.com though. She was funny, cool, and laid-back. Despite, all the old buildings and only the presidents building looking new--she made the tour exciting. I can't say much about the kinesiology department as we didn't cover that part. They do have forestry, but not horticulture which I'm looking to minor in with my major of kinesiology. The library looked pretty out-dated and basic which didn't appeal to me since I know I'll be spending a lot of time there. The dorms aren't the nicest either. It's horrible how they don't have a roommate survey in order to choose your roomie, you have to go based off of first day orientation which caters mostly to freshmen students and not transfer students. Like I said before, they lack traditions. The only two things that stand for SFA is the lumberjack stick that you have to buy and design on your own, the Stephen F. Austin water fountain changes to the school's color during finals week and the hand sign motioned to look like a gun or so. Wow! Big deal.. However, one cool thing is that SFA isn't affiliated with any other universities in Texas, it is its own school. Not a sister to no other school. That's neat. Though, it is located in the country and its better that way because you won't have to deal with loud unnecessary noises when you trying to study. The rec center/gym area is extremely small, but on the outdoors there is a lazy river that connects around. The campus isn't too big to get lost, but at the same time it's small enough to get packed quick. Scholarship opportunities seem to cater to the freshmen, so I can't say this school is transfer friendly. Additionally, everyone (staff) were extremely nice and showed their southern hospitality!

    I graduated in 1993. Came back to do the campus tour with my daughter. The campus tour shows most…read moreof the buildings, a dorm room, and restaurants. The tour is a good overview of the campus. I love the small class sizes. My daughter is dyslexic, so I was happy to hear about all the accommodations and help she can get at SFA. Beautiful campus.
