There are a lot of great events, staff is friendly, and parking and check in / out is easy. However, I do acknowledge other reviewers' feedback that they do not have a tremendous amount of books for a library - especially of its size. Ordering from another library is free and easy, but you do need to wait. And there are not too many good places to work. The alcoves are almost always in use and there aren't many other options for working quietly (I realized after reading other reviews that I've never gone there to work). Still, it meets my needs and I'll happily go there often to browse.

While a gorgeous building, I can't properly rate it as I haven't used the library as a patron -- I haven't borrowed a book or spent time in there studying, so I don't really know how good a library it is. But as a tourist passing by, it was a good place to stop in for a look at the architecture and to use their washroom and fill up our water bottles, which was very much needed on such a hot day.

I forget about the library. I get all caught up in the tactile overload of Barnes & Nobles (pretty…read morestationary! coffee! flashy book covers!) and the book snob in me LOVES judging a book by it's cover - then bringing it home to keep forever and ever. And read once. Maybe lend out a time or two. Haul it around in a box from one stop in life to another. Then sell in a garage sale decades down the road for 50 cents. My budget and my brain don't always agree with one another. So when I don't have pocket money for flashy book covers and coffee I home brew my own and head over to the OC main public library. Where they've got not just books but CDs and magazines to rent. Where they'll hunt down a book and get it in within days if it's not sitting on the shelf (or, in a rare instance, even purchase a brand new book just for me). And it's all free, minus the late fees that I accrue like it's going out of style. But trust me, six months of racking up late fees MAYBE equals 2 fancy B&N coffees, so I think I'm still ahead. If you haven't been to your local library lately - go. Try it out. The more we patronize these services the better they'll be. Your wallet will give you a big thumbs up too, it's a win/win.

The wifi just pops on without needing a password or anything; what a thought! There is a garage underneath the place. As libraries go, this is rather retro in the sense that it still has a lot of physical books and some, but not a ton of spaces for people to sit or do meetings. I imagine the library of the future being a ton of little rooms for zoom meetings. That being said, this tiny town doesn't seem to place too much demand on the space, and it's a nice place to be.

Stone steps lead up to the main entrance; there is one around the back as well with a wheelchair ramp. Book drops in the back and front- if you enter through the back, you get to see what events are going on in the various libraries (and grab a copy of the LEO and Audience, if you're into it) while the front treats you to the books of the month as well as what the Crescent Hill Book Club is reading. The librarians are very nice and quite helpful- they are always willing to take the time to explain how to properly use the copier and print things out, as well as hand over whatever knowledge is available about google, gmail, and various word processing programs. There is a reading room on the main floor in the periodicals section. Sometimes the odd person thinks it's OK to take a phone call in there, but it isn't. You get the stink-eye, you get spoken to, and you get unpopular, fast. It's also tempting to photograph articles in the current magazines for later reading/use. The librarians don't mind actually- but they do want you to read what you take. There is also a reading room downstairs amidst books on tape/CD, but they are quick to recommend Libby. The library seems to have a great collection of cookbooks, decent adult fiction selection, skimpy poetry, good history section. The children's area looks fun- there is a castle and a children's librarian that sits in there. One note- for a Louisville library, the horses/horse care area is a bit lacking.

So I swung by to return them and stopped in to see if there were any easily findable books that caught my eye to check out. It is small, but it was lively.

And I appreciate that this location also has self-checkout. I miss that at my temporary home library location, with the Main branch being closed for a year. A good sized parking lot, shared with a senior community center, and just off the J-Town main drag. Love it.

This gem of a local establishment is not just your typical library--it's a vibrant hub that offers a really cool makerspace and access to an impressive collection of audio and e-books. The well-equipped makerspace at this library is such an amazing added feature for those with a passion for creating and exploring. Set up with a wide range of tools, from a Glowforge to a recording studio to vinyl printers and cutters to sewing equipment, it's a paradise for makers of all kinds (and all ages when accompanied by an adult!) The makerspace staff is knowledgeable and supportive, ready to assist with projects and offer guidance. You're able to reserve times at the various spaces and the staff provides classes so that you can master your craft before trying a new skill for the first time. The space is a true testament to the library's commitment to nurturing creativity. In addition to their cozy spaces and large selection of print books, your library card will also give you access to Libby, an e-book and audiobook wonderland featuring so many titles that you can download directly to your kindle or e-reader (so cool!) The library also hosts a series of incredible free community events that I would highly recommend any local folks check out (tip: if you sign up for their email list, there is a link to the calendar where you can register for and save upcoming events.) Basically, I'm wondering why I haven't stepped foot in the library before now - with so many amazing resources, events, learning opportunities, and more, this is a must visit for locals.

I had a two hour gap in my schedule so I took my laptop inside and grabbed a comfortable chair. One item that's lacking are available outlets. I'm sure there are a few places to plug in but I didn't find an obvious one near the chairs. The library has one side for younger visitors and readers, along with a small play area. The other side offers a teen area with comfy chairs and several computers. My teen games there periodically with friends after school. In between is a small selection of library books, both fiction and non, plus movie rentals. Workers sit at a couple of desks and I watched them help several visitors and callers. Bulletin boards share flyers for upcoming events. Great for work or reading; however, it's a smaller space so understand you're going to hear kids, conversations and more. If this activity would distract you, you might pick another library. Private parking lot. Very welcoming to nearby students - much appreciated when other businesses shut them out.

True, they might not host the polar express pj party, but they have regular story times, they host sticker parties and many more. Sure, it don't boast of huge play/activity areas but they have a cute little nook with the cutest ladder that the littles love to climb. They have book sales pretty regularly. The checkout is easy. There are computers you can use. I believe it has a meeting room too. The biggest advantage of this library is its location. When they closed it for around a year, the nearest library to the east end was the new Northeast. That's a good half hour drive from where we live. So, I'm really glad we have one right here in Middletown!
