    We love visiting this area. FYI that this is a standalone library, NOT part of the Pierce County…read moreLibrary system. The bottom floor is very much kid-oriented with kid's books and a rather large play area. Sometimes the play area is quiet, and other times it seems like everyone in the city shows up with their kids to hang out. The top floor (very smartly) would be better for the adults seeking some quiet time. And although it is not part of the library itself, my kid enjoys the playground and the sprayground in the summer (both just outside the library). There are also plenty of nice food shops in the area, so it makes for a fun outing.

    This is probably the best library in the area, based off of the ones I've visited! We came in here…read moreafter playing at the park and it was a great second stop to tire my kids out. First off, this library is huge! Two whole floors, and it's very well decorated and maintained. The kids area is going to be what gets us coming back over and over. It's in it's own area and has lots for kids to play with including giant Lincoln Logs, foam blocks, a stage for performing, a play kitchen, and more. Plus all of the great books! From what I saw, they have a great and inclusive selection for kids. And another bonus.... The library is (obviously) free! This is definitely worth the visit if you're looking for a spot to take your kids that'll be guaranteed fun and not harsh on the wallet. My four year old and two year old had a blast so we'll definitely be back.

    Super friendly staff set me up with a library card. Easy to find books, a nice wall of books you…read morecan buy! Cheap! I just got back from their book sale and they had a room of books they sold super low prices. Highly recommend this library. (Events for teens nearly every weekend)

    I love a good library and this is one I can finally add on the list…read more I wish people gave grace and importance to libraries and the staff more credit because in my opinion they do good for the community. This library is super organized and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful from the moment you walk in til the time you leave. The coolest thing I saw was the backpack you can rent when going to parks/trails that come with a map, binoculars, free park access and so much more. I don't even think people know how much access a library card can give you. Having a library card isn't just for book access. You can rent movies, tapes, computer access, print, fax. You even can have access to free resources such as help with resume, job search, entrepreneurship, business, you name it! I encourage everyone to go to your local library and get yourself a library card for you and your kid(s) if you have any and definitely take good advantage on what they have to offer. The process didn't even take 5 minutes. Even donate if your heart guides you to. P.S. the library card options are actually cute too. Not just a simple boring plastic card. Lol.

    I am very happy with the new Main branch. It deserved it new makeover. It has plenty of space for…read moreadults, teen and children. The library staff are very helpful. I have visited after it's reopening. My son's school had library days once a month during the latter part of school year. If your child go to school in Tacoma, then they most likely have a library account through Pathways. It allows them to check out 5 books at a time. We have joined the Summer Reading program. There are museum passes here if you want to go with your library card. That is awesome for the library system offers this! I will update this again because I need to take pictures and inquire about more things this library offers. So far I put materials on hold and pick them up. They do offer hotspots to checkout. Those are high demand. Those take a while to get. This library is closed on Mondays. This library is on the bus line. However some residents can ride the bus or ride their bikes to the library. There is some parking spaces at the entrance. I definitely believe this public library is worth visiting and staff here are awesome. They are very eager to help.

It's doesn't seem like much but when…read moreyou're home with two little ones all day and just need a moment of quiet elsewhere; this library is so nice to bring them. This location offer such a amazing atmosphere for him. They have computers that are free to access for the little ones and adults. There was a safe place for him to use crayons and color pencils without making a mess. The location itself is not super big which can be one of the perk since you can see everything without feeling overwhelmed. Their variety of kids books are just so diverse and visible. The first thing you see when walking in is the kids books section which makes it feel super welcoming. The walls are painted super cute and kids friendly. The staff is all super nice and helpful on helping me checkout the books for my son. They didn't mind that my son was yelling slightly even though I felt bad about it; he went to the back counter and instead of telling me to get him out and making me uncomfortable they made him feel welcomed and spoke to him nicely. They asked about his day and offered him stickers. This to me was just such a amazing experience because having two little ones are not easy to care for. Overall, this location surpassed all my expectations with amazing librarians.

    Don't go here. Their print preview showed everything as normal I paid almost $10 to 49 pages…read moreprinted and I couldn't use a single page for my court. It's fucking ridiculous and they needed to refund me and they refused. They told me it's because it screwed up. They couldn't give me an actual answer they just kept saying it's goofed up that's what she kept saying over and over with no explanation or elaboration but blatantly refusing to give me my money back. It's pretty stupid because the preview shows that my shit is going to print out normal and that's definitely not what happened so they should've paid me back but nope they refuse. Super great library. Don't go there they are scammers
