I'm so happy to have this library downtown. I used to stop by when I needed a change of scenery after a couple hours working from a coffee shop and didn't want to purchase anything else. Their wifi never quite worked for my work laptop but I can use the hotspot data from my phone so it was never an issue for me. My work laptop stays home these days but we still stop by to use their printer (first three pages are free). I recently decided to stop using their computers to pull up the pages (to save time) and found that sending the pages from my phone (using the instructions from their website) works well for most things. We have also been enjoying their evening story time series. Many events for children are during my work hours so I'm glad there's at least one at 6pm. Thirty minutes is perfect for the reading and singing part in the meeting room. Some people also arrive at the library early and/or stay for a bit after if they'd like to chat or explore the library toys. They also have events for teens and adults but I haven't explored those yet. read more

A GREAT public library, with very friendly and helpful staff. They have a great selection, especially of children's books, and also a nice play area to keep the smaller ones distracted while the big kids scan the shelves. Their online renewal system works great, and they've been very helpful with knocking down late fees when you need it (often through donating canned goods to wipe the slate clean)! They also frequently have special events for the kids, particularly during the summer months, to get them both excited about reading and out of the house. read more

My fave public library. I rent a million movies from here to appease my entertainment appetite but keep from breaking my bank account. Good selection of books. Computers for accessing the internet. Also free WIFI. Only problem is that the hours might occassionally change due to budget fluctuations. The people who work here are nice and helpful, too. read more

Mid-day, mid-week, mid-summer and there is no open parking space and a tight dead-end at each side of the lot. Once inside after finding a space across the street, there was a very loud children's performer. I guess this library isn't intended for quiet reading, so I made the wrong choice. read more

I have taken my granddaughter to the Neill Public Library since she was 2 years old. First to "Time for Twos" then for "Preschool Storytime". The story times are great and geared excellently for the ages they are addressed to. Even though my granddaughter spent 3 years in Shanghai, coming back to Pullman in the summer, Mrs. Ahern always remembered her and welcomes her whenever she sees her. The summer activities inside the library are great and also are well addressed to the children in attendance. The summer reading program inspires kids to read on their own,,..,and now, at age 9, my granddaughter is a interested, confident reader, needless to say. read more

NPL is an outstanding public library. It bears the distinction of having an unusually high level of children's books circulation: people in Pullman read and their kids do too. They're quite good with inter-library loan so you can get books that aren't in their catalogue if you're willing to wait. The collection is nicely curated, and they also have a variety of newspapers for those newshounds waiting outside the door on most mornings. It's a comfortable place to be, and very kid friendly. It's among the social centers of Pullman and if you live in town you won't fail to see someone there you know, but that's pretty much true of everywhere in Pullman! read more
