I used to be a big library person when I was younger. Raising kids and working full time in a…read moredemanding job meant that me time was at a premium and my love of reading was temporarily set aside. When I relocated to Colleyville and went to vote in person, on a whim I went downstairs and got a new library card on the spot. They laughingly told me that new users often ticked up during election season for them. Now, the best parts. The only portal makes it super easy to request books, and I can swing by the handy dandy drive thru and pick up during library hours. They have a wonderful service where you can submit a request for a list of recommended books just for you based on what you share about your interests, favorite authors etc. I'm on my third list and Kara has nailed it every time. I've found some great new authors and enjoyed some books I never would have found otherwise. Just another reason living in Colleyville is pretty awesome.

The Colleyville Library is an outstanding library. They put on great events throughout the year,…read moreespecially in the summer. Their storytimes are so fun for littles. Most of the storytimes are not drop in - You have to register in advance and commit to an 8 week session. I think this results in a higher quality storytime - the librarians get to know your kids, they have crafts and other fun aspects to the storytime, and it's never overcrowded. Many other events offered do not require registration. The kids play area is the best I've seen at a library. There is so much to do! My kids all still love playing there, and will happily move from table to table building and playing for HOURS (even the older ones!). I do think, since this is a small library, you really have to utilize the online hold system if you want to pick out specific books. Especially when it comes to popular kid's books, it's unlikely that you're going to walk into the library and find it on the shelf. That's ok with me - the hold system saves me time because I reserve it online, the library tells me when it's been turned in and sets it aside, and I swing by the drive through to pick it up. Through the interlibrary loan system, you can get *almost* any book or movie you want, even if the Colleyville Library doesn't have it. I utilize the interlibrary loans regularly and have only ever requested ONE book that the library wasn't able to procure for me. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Two negatives I'd point out: 1. The new "no late fees" policy. Because there are no longer late fees, it's essentially "choose your own due date!" and the result is very long wait times for some book series. When I scroll through my list of holds, more than half the books are often overdue. The library should be collecting fines for this to encourage on time return of books and use the money to purchase duplicate copies of books in popular kids series. 2. Holds are capped at 20 books. This isn't really an issue during the school year, but during the summer when more kids are checking out books, you pretty much have to wait for every book that comes to mind. With 8 people in our house, we reach 20 holds very quickly. I'd prefer if they did away with the 20 book hold limit. Those negatives aside, this library has my heart! We are here at least a couple times a week picking up books and I am immensely grateful for the way the library has enabled me to foster a love of reading in my kids. We LOVE the Colleyville Library!!!

What stood out the most was the customer service--the staff were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. One area where I think there's room for improvement is the overall layout and atmosphere. The library feels a little dated, and it took some time to understand how the collections were organized. The main sections are divided into fiction and non-fiction, with laminated signs on the ends of the shelves somehow indicating the different subcategories. I think the browsing experience could be a little better with clearer, larger signage for popular subjects such as Cooking, History, Geography, Travel, Biography, Science, Technology, Business, Health & Wellness, Music, Arts & Crafts, Home & Gardening... That would make it much easier to find what you're looking for without needing to search each aisle. A warmer interior would also make the space feel more inviting--perhaps softer lighting that's still comfortable for reading, along with updated shelving and furniture to create a cozier atmosphere. Overall, it's a wonderful community library with excellent staff and a great collection. A few updates to the layout and design would make it an even more enjoyable place to spend time.
