This rule is overly strict and targets students trying to study or concentrate. Librarians should focus on maintaining the facility and supporting patrons, not nitpicking harmless behavior. A library should be a welcoming space for learning, not a place where students are harassed for quietly minding their own business.

They have a great library with alot of connected museums nearby and good flyer management. It's the way of the world now that in this digital age where people are so seperate and distant from eachother, places like the library have to bring back that social connection amongst people cuz without that there really is no valuing of knowledge, even in things like books. So keep on doing good Joilet Library, and may the force be with you.

Living in Joliet, I didn't expect much from the library system at first. After all, the schools…read moreare lacking, so I assumed the library would be as well. I've been pleasantly surprised! Unlike some libraries, the set up is ideal, so there are quiet spots away from the children's areas and public computers. I'm there a lot writing, and am rarely disturbed by other patrons in the little back area with the study tables. The nonfiction book selection is good; they even have a technical manual that I thought would be hard to find. As a mom, I've also been very pleased with the programming for youngsters! Between 6 and 18 months, it's hard to find activities that are age appropriate, but they have great story time for the little guys! I love the cafe on site. It's rarely too crowded, everyone is friendly, and the coffee is pretty good. My only caveat for this library system is a poor e-book database. However, I'm assuming there's not much of a market for the e-books in the area, but hopefully that will grow as more people adopt the media.

Save yourself a headache and go to Nichols library FUCK NAPERVILLE LIBRARY

Is this a library or a Kinder Care?…read more I was a little disappointed that this place seems to cater to little kids with no signs of parental figures, on hand and foot since this place is within walking distance from my house (well, if I weren't so lazy it'd be within walking distance, that is). The entire huge first floor is all children's books, pics, readings, etc. It's really a shame since I have no need or room for anything child appropriate in my PG-13 plus life. The lower level is for adults and young adults and had a pretty limited selection compared to the Nichols library in downtown Naperville though I was pretty impressed with their CD collection and books on cd shelves, of which this location had cooler stuff. I defo wasn't a fan of how cramped everything was in here... there's no way it's handicap accessible, that's for sure. Seating here is kind of hard to come by so if you're planning on meeting up with a study group, get there early or whenever libraries have off-peak hours so you can stake out a spot. I sat in the empty desk area off in a far back corner with really low lighting. The kind of place library murders happen... if there is such a thing as library murders outside of stories in books at the library. I will be back since it's close to my house and because I have to return the stuff I took out at some point. I don't need another $7 late fee like I got for not returning The Crow for 4 days after the due date... like anyone else was going rent it anyway.
