I love the Collinsville library…read more As soon as I walk in the front doors by the big fountain, I am 5 years old all over again. This place has not changed much in 30 years. There are so many books here you could stay all day and still want to come back tomorrow to keep looking. The upstairs is strictly a children library which is nice as sometimes kids have a harder time whispering! It also gives children a space they can go and really enjoy books with ohhs and ahhs. The Children's library also has puppets, trains, dress up clothes, etc. We live in Troy and while the Troy library is our normal stop, about once a month I will take my little one to Collinsville Memorial Library because it is just that great.

I think the library is a well kept secret that everyone should know about. It's more than books!…read more The Fairview Heights library offers you to borrow books, Ebooks, music, movies and even video games! Depending on the popularity there maybe a waiting list. They also offer access to computers. Eight computers you can reserve and one express computer. The reserved ones can be used hours at a time while the express allows 30 minutes of access. A variety of classes for kids and adults all year round. I figured the money I spend on books I'm only going to read once is kinda a waste in my end. When I can borrow a book, read it and take it back. Now you do need to stay in the area to get a library card at this location. So proof of residency is required. The librarians are extremely helpful when it comes to locating certain items and they all always full of information. Like... How do you know all this?!? I especially like Ebooks. This way I can download them from my computer to my smartphone or tablet. No need to go to the library physically with the Ebooks; everything is done online! At the end of the day.... Of course I will be back, I have to return a book!
