    Piano by the entrance
    Sheri H.

    Small, quiet library in Shoreline. Backed up against the water and a park, it's in a serene area with a neighborhood that is dead silent with the sound of kids occasionally. Check out the piano by the front entrance whether you play or not. It's covered in mosaic tile in a patriotic theme and really cool. Small parking lot with just a dozen spots.

Intelligent and thoughtful selection of themes for the book tables with multiple copies of books in some cases -- very nice. Always a clean and quiet space. And we can drop off our election ballots. Free parking lot and clean bathrooms, too. My senior parents really enjoy quietly reading newspapers there that we don't get. Thanks for having those rags for us to read. Great place for students to do homework, too.

Ample lot and street parking, plus located at a Metro bus stop. There's also a King County ballot box near the parking lot, very convenient to also drop off my ballot for the upcoming primary. Looks like reserves can be picked up outside like those Amazon locked box stations, as well as, inside on designated shelves. Still the community hub with posted info and other free media to peruse. There's available onsite meeting & conference rooms, seating, and computer area. All the media neatly arranged per the Dewey decimal system and some displayed for current interests or themes. Books and other media can be located via interlibrary loan too. Abundant other resources are available via the SPL main websites. A wealth of information to be had! It was stereotypically quiet while I searched for a particular book I knew ahead of time was available. Didn't want to disturb the library staff, so I used one of the self checkout kiosks. Thankfully, my Seattle Public Library card since the early 1980s and my ancient password still worked! This location is much closer to home versus the two King County library branches in Shoreline.

    Coming to Kenmore Library today, Monday 23 October 2023, looking for a book to read, I pulled in…read moreoff of Northeast 181st Street to find a packed parking strip on the side of the building. I was like, oh no... where am I supposed to park. Continuing forwards in my vehicle I noticed a slanted drive down under the library building on the left. Then I noticed a sign with an arrow indicating parking. So, I followed the drive in and parked in the garage under the building. An elevator was available to take one up to/down from the library entryway. I took it on the way up, and during my one floor elevator ride remembered I did not like elevators, so I might walk around like I drove into the garage when I went back to my car. Getting off the elevator in the entryway with doors on each side of me, one to the street and one into the library, I entered the library through the door(s) going that way. The interior of the library initially felt small and a librarian was at their station by the entry/exit. Other librarian(s) were about in the library around the shelves. A number of people were sitting on chairs/couches in the library reading books. The chairs/couches were well placed throughout the library as were tables. Each section, such as teen, non-fiction, magazines, etc., was well labeled. Study rooms were open/available for use if wanting a quiet place to close the door and work on something. I was specifically looking for something in the tune of business. The different non-fiction categories were diverse in offerings. I ended up going with a book about putting ideas into action. Different libraries in the King County Library System tend to have different business offerings, and I found the marketing/thought process focus at this library refreshing. Self check out stations were located near the entrance/exit by the librarians' stations. The librarians I interacted with were warm in demeanor. On my way out, I opted to walk back to my car instead of taking the elevator. I found there was even a sidewalk down to the garage. All around I enjoyed my experience.

    The Kenmore Library is a newly built public library in the King County system. Small facility, yet…read morevery modern with natural light and clean lines. Small footprint, but close to USPS and City Hall. Parking is not plentiful and it seems as tho the 5 minute "book drop off" spaces are always full. Kenmore is more of a satellite location, than a full size public library. I reluctantly used this library for a while when the Bothell Library was being remodeled. Staff has always been nice in Kenmore, but it lacks the size and amenities of Bothell. It was easy to place books on hold online to pick up and check out at the self-service kiosks. But if you want full service, Kenmore is not your library.

The staff was very friendly and there are a couple nice sized conference rooms if you need to book meetings/gatherings here. Generally pretty quiet, right next to maybe an elementary school haha.

I have looked through the shelves at my local libraries in the King County Library System a number of times, so coming here I was interested to see if I could find something different. As I do not have a Sno-Isle library card I could not check anything out, however I could look and sit and read in library. I utilized street parking for my visit, though there is a parking lot shared with the Anderson Center to the east of the main entrance. Shelving in the library was short stacks with items low/close to the ground. Books were broken into youth and adult sections. There were computer work stations as well as a larger classroom-like work space and a few small study rooms. In the movies section I spotted a 2019 PBS documentary on weasels, a good one as my family and I had a family of long tailed weasels (mustela frenata) in the vicinity of our house a few times over the past years, they are a native species in the area. Perhaps most varied from the libraries I frequent in terms of what I looked over today was the biography section (adult books section). Limiting myself to one that captured my attention, I selected a 2017 book "Being Elvis: A Lonely Life" by Ray Connolly. I had not seen that one before on the shelves in my library system. I put both the movie and book on hold. Exploring the in library sitting/reading options, I found a big comfy/soft chair with a movable table by a recycling area. It was nice that the table beside the table was small and could be moved to make using it more comfortable. Lighting throughout the library was a bit variable, might have been in part due to the tall ceilings.
