    I couldn't even read a book here due to all the children running around the library. It was very loud and distracting at lunch time.

    The place is filled with bums. There is a shelter nearby, but you can't be drinking or drugging, so…read morethey don't want to go there.There was 8 bums in there when I was there they were not using the library services just bumming on thier phone,talking eating ect this is BS perhaps the police need to be involved the staff is great and helpful but hindered by the bums

I also brought my children here for reading activities when they were young. They have always been accommodating and friendly. I didn't fully understand how blessed our county was to have this library until I began researching my family history. The local history and genealogy room is better than any other I have ever visited. I have visited many. The ladies over this room, Leslie and Denise, are very knowledgeable of local history and are more than willing to assist you in your family research. They work hard to find additional resources to help you break through brick walls that you encounter. They host events and bring in experts and guest speakers. They are simply amazing. The other library employees are eager to assist you in making copies, finding books, and any other need you may have. This library is a great. The parking is not ideal but that is outside the control of the library staff.

    Love this place!!! Decided to meet up with a friend for coffee (well tea for me) and she suggested…read morethis place as 'the perfect spot'. And it was. I read through some of the other reviews and I want to set the record straight. Yes, it's inside a church but there is a separate entrance. Yes, there are Christian books but also other genres. Yes, the coffee is very affordable BECAUSE all the staff are volunteers. No one is getting paid and they LOVE what they do. All smiles and great service. The proceeds go to local and global missions of the church. Win, win all the way around. The place itself is very spacious. Two levels. The seating areas are comfortable and far enough apart you can have some semiprivacy if you need it. My friend who brought me says she comes here all the time to study (she's in college). All of the staff knew her by name. (love places like that) I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't really speak to the coffee (although my friend says it's pretty good). I am a tea drinker though and they have a variety of flavors, some refresher juice drinks, a few pastries. Please support. Every now and again if you're thinking of getting coffee or a pastry, choose them. Why not? Do some good for the community through others who are committed to giving back.

    I love this place! This is my go to spot to grab a comfy place to sit get my work done in peace and…read moregrab a delicious blueberry Matcha. Hidden gem!

    This bookshop is another planet inhabited by characters out of books. It's beautiful, so well…read moredecorated, and hosts such wonderful events. We came to hear Queen Elsa host a story time event. She read Frozen and a Llama Llama book. My children loved it! And afterwards we spent over an hour just walking around and exploring. Everywhere you look is a handwritten note about a book, some mystical creature coming out of the walls, or a typewriter waiting for a story to unfold. The top floor even hosts a puzzle table and nooks to cuddle up and read. The children's section is simply magical. My kids would have stayed for hours if I let them. The pricing is also fair and the owner is a gem. She even has a little bookshop dog that greets everyone, Chestnut.

I intend on contacting the Better Business Bureau.

    The Charlotte-Mecklenburg library district offers a number of very nice regional and special…read morelibrary settings: the South Park Regional, South County Regional, and the library collaboration with the Children's Theatre of Charlotte ... ImaginOn: The Joe & Joan Martin Center on Seventh Street downtown to name just three. Each has specialties that make them individuals. The South County Regional had a really extensive collection of books and materials for the younger set. While we had trouble finding 2 to 4 year old age-appropriate books at other locations, South County Regional satisfied our needs. The library itself was newish, clean and easy to get to, with available free parking. Unlike some other libraries in the district, this one had more library materials but fewer things (toys and games) for kids to play with. Nice library and recommended.

There's computers available to use as a guest or library member. There's plenty of empty tables for reading or bringing your own laptop. Theres options for closed quiet spaces and I'm sure reservations can be made for groups. Kid zones throughout. I didn't see the whole library but it was very active and well kept as it seemed libraries were on the decline. Not at this location.
