I absolutely adore this library!…read more There's plentiful parking, and many seating options to enjoy your books! I love the top picks in the columns, they were very appealing! I also liked the staff picks and teen picks. This space was very welcoming and inviting, I loved how inclusive the year of the dragon display was. I also love the display of children artwork! Overall a wonderful spot to study or find books for everyone!

As far as libraries go I have seen better. This library has been in the making for years. We just…read moregot to go for the first time the other day. I just wasn't impressed. I have a 5 year old. We like to take out a few books at a time to read at night. The kids section just wasn't that impressive. There was a big TV that some kids were playing on and a bin of stuffed animals. You would think a modern library would do a much better job to get kids excited about reading. Maybe I was missing something. It seemed more like an office then a library. Hopefully they will be making some improvements. I will have to check out what they do this summer. Maybe they will have some excitement added and I can change my review.

Came to this library for the first time recently to take my little man to story time. We loved it!…read moreThere is a cute room off to the side before you even enter the library where they hold story time and some of the other activities. The teacher was very involved and I loved all the toys that they brought out for the kiddos after the story time. We didn't explore the rest of the library, but I'm looking forward to doing that later. I will say that I love the parking lot here more than my home library. There's a ramp right near some parking spaces in the lot - perfect for moms with strollers!

I was looking for a place to do school work/study and decided to try this local library out. It's…read morenice because it's outside of downtown so not as busy and there's a parking lot which is a major plus. It's small though and there's only one area where you can sit and do work which feels up fast. However if you get there before it gets too busy then you're set. I'd come back though again.

I love my local library!!…read more ***LOCATION*** As the name suggests, this spot is located in Westover Hills. It's right on Westover Hills Blvd. near Devonshire rd. ***EXPERIENCE*** I always have a good experience here. It's an easy spot to walk or bike to. They have a good amount of bike lock space and a little parking lot behind it. The librarians who work here are very kind and helpful. It's a smaller library, but has most of the good stuff (at least in regards to what I'm trying to read). Like all libraries, you can put a book on hold or have a book sent to this library if it's not at this location. They have computers for their online catalog. They also have quite a few computers you can log into for personal use. This library is a great spot to get some work done or (surprise) read a book. I love all the natural lighting that spills into this space. ***PRICE*** It's free! It's a library. If no one has a hold on the book you're borrowing it'll automatically renew. ***BATHROOM*** There are single all gendered stalls you can use that are clean. ***CONCLUSION*** I love this library for its librarians, its space, and its books!

They have a nice organized kids section with legos, puzzles, and more to keep little busy. They also display local school art projects etc. My child is always excited to see the class artwork on display. There are plenty of FREE resources here that people do not realize. Free kid & adult classes, events and more. Sometimes registration fills quickly but they also have waitlist. We visit all the libraries to take advantage of the chesterfield resources. You can also check out a state park bag here to use as a local guide & activities when in the park.

While most women in the 1930s were occupied with raising children and tending to their families,…read moreVirginia native Maude Langhorne Nelson was leading a valiant struggle to build a public library in Hopewell, Virginia. Library service began in Hopewell area in 1930 when Thomas B. Robertson established a library association with a collection of 2000 donated books and Mrs. Maude Langhorne Nelson offered her services as volunteer librarian. She was so enthusiastic in providing library services to the citizens of Hopewell that she generously gave months of her time to catalog and run the library. With the installation of a pot-bellied stove and orange crates for shelves, they achieved Hopewell's first public library. In 1931, the city took over the library with Mrs. Maude Langhorne Nelson as its first librarian. Mrs. Nelson was instrumental in having the Council appoint a Library Board and supervised the move to a new location. With hardly any funds for anything, she made her own supplies, stretching each dollar to do the work of many in acquiring new books. Mrs. Nelson was known for contributing to any undertakings in Hopewell that involved elevating the minds and ethics of the young and old alike. She remained at this post till she resigned following the death of her husband. In 1949, the library name was changed to honor its first librarian, Maude Langhorne Nelson as a tribute to her outstanding civic contribution. Mrs. Nelson's devotion to the library did not stop when she retired. When the City was considering a new location in 1952, she got the ball rolling with a contribution to the new library building fund. Since then, her name has been synonymous with the library.

3 stars for the library, 5 stars for its staff!…read more While this isn't the most extensive library in the area, its a nice little place to pop in and find a book or movie. If an item cannot be found at this location, they're very quick to locate and order it for you. The staff is very obliging and eager to help out, whatever the topic is. After I moved here I went in to look for community information and resources and the lady at the information desk went above and beyond to assist me. I came out loaded with books, printouts, brochures, and even some hand-written recommendations and suggestions. As this is the closest library to me I've visited often and I've always had the same great treatment from the staff. If this is the library that is closest to you, it is definitely worth utilizing.

The people there were louder than necessary. Talking as if they were at home. Listening to music on the headphones attached to the computer but so loud everyone could hear. Then the librarians try to ask the people to be quiet and that doesn't work. This library is minutes from home but convenience isn't worth the noise and chaos.
