It's also not intuitive, when you walk in, where different departments might be located. And ... there are always unhygienic members of the community lazing around in the entrance or out in front,... staring at you. In all fairness, I haven't tried the library's programming, interlibrary loan system, ebooks or other services - maybe they're spectacular. I hope they are.

Not…read moreonly were my three children and I not greeted with a smile or hello etc, we were told it was too late in the day to obtain a library card and that they closed at 4. Even with the earlier closing time, I'm certain we had time to get a card and the books my kiddos needed for a report. I even had a list of the books needed. We will be traveling further to get our library cards to a library that embraces and encourages literacy, as this one seems to be a lost cause My advice for the library management is to seek employees or find volunteers that will welcome patrons, not turn them away because they want to leave early.

I love this library so much! There is an excellent selection of incoming titles downstairs and a…read moreshort trip up the elevator, there's a huge set of fiction (I like the scifi/fantasy section myself) and an even bigger selection of non-fiction. Plus, your library card allows you to access digital collections too; I have an audiobook checked out right now. The staff have always been kind and helpful and the library also hosts events and clubs for the public. I'm a regular at one of those clubs. It helped me make some friends with shared interests after I moved here. This is one of my favorite places in town.

Even on other days this library can get pretty loud and staff does little to keep the volume down.

Thought I'd cuddle up w a book in the back corner out of the way, not bothering anyone. Ya know, what a library is for. A literal security lady w a bad attitude for no reason comes up on me like "wow, you can't just be here like this..." Excuse me? Isn't this was a library is for ?? What's w the attitude ? She tells me I have to sit in one of their hard, flat arthritis causing chairs if I wanna read a book there. Up in front where everyone can see you. And that no drinks are allowed and 'it says so on the door.' Ok... this was my first time there. I didn read all the signage, my mistake, and my drinks has screw on caps. I was just trying to stay hydrated while I killed time waiting for my car. Considering that all the people inside looked homeless, it was shocking that they'd bother someone like me who's clearly put together, well dressed, well spoken & educated. She was absolutely rude for no reason. And the fact that not a single employee came to kindly make me aware of their rules and instead called security like I was being doing anything wrong. I WAS LITERALLY READING A BOOK IN THE CORNER SILENTLY. Extremely unwelcoming environment, smelly restroom, rude employees, and many vagrants hanging around.

The librarian will give you a tour and share with you the history of this beautiful building. Not the usual type or style of building you would find in a small east Texas town. Built in 1934 during the Big oil Boom. In addition to being a Beautiful library, we spent a little time in the children's section. Great selection of titles and genres for all levels of readers. On the bulletin board we quickly checked out some of the summer activities. We live out of town. But if we were local this would be a place we would frequently come too.
