The library itself is all self-service based as you checkout your books using your digital library card and pick up the held books at the entrance which is placed based on alphabetical order of the first letter of your last name. Great collection of books for kids and adults. The only thing l wished they had more toys for kids in the play room, I find that some toys are missing some pieces and not well maintained but otherwise a great place to get your kids to spend some time with books.

Attended the Arts in Bloom festival in downtown McKinney and I was impressed!…read more Downtown McKinney reminds me of a, much smaller scaled of course, downtown Fort Worth so I felt right at home! Small local shops, tons of eateries and plenty of space to roam about. The festival layout was well thought out and extended down every main street. Loved supporting the local wineries and trying yummy wine. Definitely an area I'd return to for another festival, or lunch/dinner if I'm in the area.

They understand their identity and have poured into the locale with a solid unifying theme. My only complaint is the lack of planning in parking. With the increase in businesses and activities, they should have planned for more parking especially garages. Parking is a HUGE challenge almost Californian level. Nonetheless we return over and over. It's just a great location.

It always seems loud in here so I wouldn't advise trying to get anything done where you need it to be quiet. I like that they have a drive-up book return too -- very convenient. This library does not participate with the Libby app -- not at the time of this writing -- so if you reserve an ebook, you'll need to download the app they do work with. They FINALLY got more parking added here -- it's been so tough to find parking but there's a long new section of spaces now.

The one thing I loved about the library is a cute gardening section right next to the staircase (as of 4/24/26). There's a lot of cute gardening books and even a seed donation box. It's a clean environment overall and lots of books. There are some open areas that can be quite chatty so I would recommend being in a study room if you need to study. The seats are comfy overall and provide a nice relaxing spot!

What a great library and librarian. We came today to see how to tie a fly for fly fishing with our…read moresons and daughters and it was wonderful. From senior citizens to elementary school children learning the art of tying a fly. Wish we moved here weeks earlier to participate in the other classes. We also saw beginners sewing classes we want to take. Afterward we went and visited the actual library and it was perfect. My toddler saw many Lightening McQueen books and chose 2. My older son saw the Hardy a Boys collection and checked out a few. My daughters had also found the Fairy series and Fancy Nancy. Now my sons library catalog searches came up empty which was a disappointment, but we understand it's a smaller library. The librarian is so wonderful and let us check out our books with just one registration today and asked us to take a look at the donation books in the lobby. She recommended looking for Hardy Boy which my hubby came back with about 15 of them. I picked up 4 of "My Children First Library" science books. Thanks Melissa library for a great first visit!

Small, cluttered, computers/printers and catalog (search) kiosk always down…read more Study tables placed at the rear of the building in a small space. In the teens section. (?) Can't access books in teens section because the study tables are shoved right in front of the stacks/shelves. Kids section is noisy as it's set up more for play than exploring/reading books. Unfortunately, the noise (kids section) carries out through the rest of the building. Adult computer area is another small room where everyone is on top of everyone else (figuratively speaking). Overall, this library is not a great place to do research or settle in to read a book. Why didn't they include a nicer/bigger space for a public library when they built the new city hall?

And I have lived in 6 states, visited several and been to plenty of libraries all over the place. My mouse for my laptop clicks so I don't want to use it, I'm sticking with the touch pad on my laptop. I am going to do everything in my power not to sneeze, cough or breathe too loud. I'm in libraries and coffee shops quite a lot and have grown accustomed to hearing children's chatter, music or phone conversations. Not here though, it's old school quiet like libraries of yesteryear. There is a large, wonderful area for children but on this side of the library you don't hear them. I love libraries this size. There are chairs, desks, tables, love seats, study rooms, media rooms, meeting rooms and even vending machines for your snack break. The restroom is nice, big and clean. And books, of course, they have a huge selection and if I moved to Collin County, which I probably won't, I would likely frequent this location. I don't know anything about this neighborhood but this library is really nice.

It gives you access to ALL libraries in Collin county. Everyone should have a library card! They use the Libby app. The most wonderful app at that too! Easy to use and people friendly. Links you to all libraries. They offer 3d images of mapping plans for children to make their on designs. How cool is that! It's all in house. I think that's awesome to get kids interested in technology at an early age. I wish more people would be interested in being part of a library. It's so cool to have access to knowledge. It's free! If you have a driver license you can join and be a member. I'm sure if you don't have a DL you can still join. Be extraordinary and join any library across the country! May 2024
