The St. Matthews branch is close to a couple of my dogsitting clients and in the area of where my choir usually rehearses every week. Things I appreciate: The ample parking lot. The seating and reading spots and places. It is bright and modern. Things I don't love: Why doesn't my data on my phone work when I am inside this building? Why don't apps work or load well on my phone when I am on the library wifi in the building? Why won't my computer connect to the internet when I have connected to the library wifi? If I am here to just pick up some holds or to sit and read, its a-ok. If I am here to work on things...I can't understand why the wifi kills my devices' ability to function OR why I can't seem to get my data and hotspot to work inside this building, even sitting next to an entire wall of windows, not even deep in the building. That has been frustrating on several visits. Still...READ A BOOK y'all.

It accidentally bleed through (the stamp) she was kind enough to offer another one but, I told her it was ok no need. I do like this library but, I may go here just because it's close to work.

The main branch of the Louisville library located at 4th and York is in a beautiful building,…read morewhich, according to a plaque, was built between 1905 and 1908 and donated as a gift from Andrew Carnegie. 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.

It's been a while since I visited the library. I was looking for some specific DVD's to watch so we…read morewent there today. I walked in and was amazed at how much things have improved. They have a separate and special place for teens to come and enjoy the resources and quiet. There is also an area that is a work shop where they teach classes on computers and/or offer extracurricular activities. There are separate areas where you can curl up and just enjoy a book or rest in quiet. The place is so clean you could almost eat off the floor. A resident can be proud of what the county offers here.

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 Paul Sawyier Public Library has become one of my Husband and my's homes away from home. It is…read morean absolutely beautiful, well lit, clean, quiet space! With stained glass windows, monthly Art Work displays, conference rooms for discussions and presentations... this is truly an amazing Community Center. The upstairs is a space dedicated entirely to the children of our Community with kids activities, Study Rooms, and assistance for children and families in need. It seems like a truly Safe Space for any child who needs it. The main library itself has an expansive collection of Books, Books on CD, Music Cds, and DVDs. And the library is linked in to an online collection of lending libraries that allow you to borrow digital books, audio-books, movies, and music to stream, all for free, with your Library Card! We visit weekly and even when the place is busy, I find it a haven of peaceful solitude. A space I truly find comfort in! And bonus... clean bathrooms! They also do a lot of presentations that are free to the community, and while I've been interested in a number of them, I've not made it out to attend one yet. But, I'm excited by the possibilities!

The kids section is such a fun, cozy spot. My kids love to grab some books and play in the little castle in the back corner. It was also a nice place to bring the kids when they were younger and maybe weren't quiet enough for the rest of the library. The small tables near the front windows also have some coloring pages. The kids section especially has a great collection, and I also appreciate how the hold shelves are right by the front doors. I usually reserve my books ahead of time, and then come here to pick them up. The whole visit takes less than five minutes. This branch has some community rooms in the basement. We've gone to storytime a few times down there. And it's just a beautiful little spot! Parking is easily accessible, and the staff are always helpful and delightful. This branch is such a gem!

Since the two library branches that are closest to me (literally walking distance!) are either…read moreclosed forever (RIP Highlands/Shelby Park) or closed for a real long time and under construction (Main/Downtown, please open again POSTHASTE), I have been exploring other branches here and there. It was time to try out the Crescent Hill Branch! It is inviting looking...like it LOOKS like an older library. Charming as heck. Inside feels a little cramped, like there aren't a lot of stacks. But I don't actually do a lot of browsing at libraries, I mostly pick up holds and do work or read. I did enjoy the reading room on the first floor here. It was a bit loud. Like I know a library isn't totally silent, but it was surprisingly noisy during my time there. I did get there as school was letting out and there is a school on the same block, but I don't think it was that. I think the building allows things to echo and amplify. I really like that they have a parking lot. A big boon to patrons! I will absolutely be back to this branch at some point, at least until the main branch reopens. But it is well-situated and welcoming.

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. Folks setting up for a meeting in side room, people using the computers and using reading spots. I love to see it. I found a few books to check out and take with me. 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 is my local library!…read more The library, why the library? It's my inner nerd. Being new to the community, the library can provide you with some useful information and insights on your town. The library offers a variety of books. The selection here is quite large . It has various features for the youth who the area too. If you need access to a computer or printing facilities they offer you access. In fact you get to print for free up to a dollar a week. They have an online library and you can reserve the books and other resources for you and pick it up. In fact you can have curb side pick up at the library. If you need a nice quiet spot for work they have special rooms for your needs. As humans we need free air to breathe, in the lobby the plant area offers fresh clean oxygen for the humans to take in. The staff here is excellent! Do you need books to read and take home they have a great selection. A few times a month they have a book sale. Come and spend time together with your inner self and get lost for a few hours.

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.

But, I love it! It has plenty to offer. True, there are no aisles and aisles of children's books so you can browse through them and pick what you like. But, if you want a particular book, you can request it from any branch and pick it up here. 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!
