Love this library! Also, after reading a couple reviews talking about homeless people at the public…read morelibrary, I thought it important at this point to give people a little information about what the Pioneer Public Library offers and who all is allowed/not allowed to be there. So, here goes: First of all, the City of Norman has a non-profit mileage reimbursement program. This program is designed to provide free transportation to individuals and families in Norman who are currently, or who have recently experienced homelessness. The East Norman Pioneer Public Library is one of the participating agencies of this program. So, the public library is qualified and has been approved to be one of the prominent transportation pick-up/drop-locations for those needing such services. Also, the presence of homeless people in libraries is not a problem. The way some of these patrons have spoken about homeless people (and have also given the library a poor rating for allowing open access to everyone) is unacceptable in general, let alone having the confidence to write about ppl experiencing homelessness, which is a dangerous, uncomfortable, and alienating experience, is bewildering. No one is entitled to use the public library more than anyone else. The rules of behavior remain the same for everyone, and anyone can be asked to leave if causing disruption or harm. Public libraries are there to facilitate public access to information... If someone smells, if they talk to themselves, if they have lots of bags with them, etc. - none of these things render someone a non-person or an illegitimate library user. So, either have a one-on-one conversation with the City and Library Director or find somewhere else? And may your surroundings rise to meet your standards... eventually...

"Having fun's not hard when you've got a library card!" - Arthur…read more I recently had a chance to check out the new library since it moved. I was very impressed, the front staff was very welcoming and enthusiastic about everything the library has to offer. Downstairs is the friends of the library bookstore, the computer lab and various workspaces for those who need internet or a printer/scan/fax. It also houses the children's section, audiobooks and all new fiction. By new, I mean NEW fiction. Stuff I was surprised to see no one had checked out yet. The second level is dedicated to adult fiction and YA fiction. Plus it also has a 3-D printer that can be used by any member and some other gadgets.There was a glass enclosed conference room that looks like anyone could reserve it and the third level is Adult Fiction LARGE print books and Non-fiction. There are so many architecturally interesting details despite it being very modern and there were plenty of areas to study or use your own electronic devices such as a kindle or a laptop. My only gripe is the non-fiction section is lacking. This isn't a library suited for a research paper or academic assignment even for a high school or middle school kid.

Cool place to study but the guy controlling the cameras in the security office is quite…read morequestionable. while walking to the bathroom I noticed he was only zooming into 2 girls who were sitting down(studying I suppose). I understand security sacrifices privacy but come on it's a library that usually only has a few people in here at time. I'm sure if he focused on school like he did women he wouldn't be working here as a 50 something year old...

The kid's area is creative and fun (today was an "ice cream shop"). The selection of books is varied but smaller than other places due to space constraints, however you can always have books sent there if needed. Also, the staff are always kind and helpful.

They won't ship to store with the same pricing but don't carry what's needed aside from it being online. They have a few hard chairs and two larger chairs that need to be refurbished since the guy who seems to be there daily is always in one. They have lots of seating at the huge Starbucks in the store which takes up a large portion of the store. Seems like it could be managed a bit better. Overall it's a 3 star experience and not much better.
