If you think the library is just a quiet place all about books, you are WRONG!! The McCracken…read moreLibrary is a very underutilized resource in our area. They have activities for all ages groups. They will help you with your computer or tablet, and they offer a variety of classes. Thursday night game night is a great time with your family. The list could go on and on. I suggest you pick up an event calendar and try something new.

Always helpful, always well-staffed, always clean. Having a large family, we are there pretty often for movies, books, and the special programs. Of course, there is a large selection of books, but it's the other stuff that my family loves. Its downtown location also provides convenient internet access for a large amount of the population, I think that's an excellent service to the community!

I am very impressed with Cape's new public library. I grew up going to this library, and it is…read moreunrecognizable! The children's section is awesome for my toddler, and me, who is able to relax on one of the comfy chairs. I can sit back and chillax, knowing he is safe. There are also so many programs offered for children and adults. All seem to be free of charge, I might add. Can't get better than that. In addition to the wide selection of books on the grounds, they offer ebooks, audio books, and e-magazines accessible on my home computer. I will always make sure before I spend money on an ebook, that I can't simply download it free. If I had to complain about one thing, it would be that the computers are too easy to get to. I come to the library hoping to get my son to love books. I find myself having to fight to keep him from wanting on the computer. Overall, I love this place, and am very grateful that the community of Cape Girardeau has this resource.

The large and historic building feels tucked away on a little brick lane, though it is right in the center of town. Also, and perhaps more importantly, the staff is wonderful.

The strengths of this library--the size of a small home with three or four rooms--are its multi-county genealogy resources, the children's reading area and the reference section. You won't find banks of computers, nor will you find a large reading room; just a very traditional, small town library across from the old Vienna (pronounced VY-anna) Court House. You can also buy books by local authors and genealogy reference materials directly from the library. Pay close attention to the hours: Open every day, 1pm-5pm; closed Thursday & Sunday. There's parking in front and around the courthouse.

I found that it was relatively easy to maneuver throughout the library and that the selection was excellent considering the relatively small size of the library itself.
