    When I'm in town, I tried to stop at this library to catch up on the newspapers or magazines. The downstairs is the main area for adult reading material, and the children material is upstairs. In just a few minutes I had the latest Wall Street Journal in hand. There were several convenient chairs to to sit and relax. They also have a quiet room that you can go in if kids are screaming too much. I poked my head in, but I did not need to use it since there were no screaming kids today. I had a few questions for the staff and they were all very helpful and friendly. They explained that they recently had some water damage. That's why that room downstairs is not used yet. They are trying to fix it up.

    Great place for all the reading. Offers lot of options on toddler books, dvds. Unique thing about this library is printer/fax/copy machine available at nominal prices. Desktops with Internet option for free(1 hr duration). Dedicated Study rooms available along with public reading spaces. Located heart of plano and sufficient parking.Cant ask more. Plano thanks much.

    It's a quiet place to concentrate, and it helps me study for my board exam.

    I love bookstores and Libraries, and I've been lucky that until now, I have found ones I love. But…read morethe Richardson library just doesn't make me get excited to come into it. The children's book area has plenty of books, but there's a lack of imagination and creativity. Again, I'm just not inspired to want to walk around and engage with the books. It feels too sterile. I hope that makes sense.

    The Richardson Public Library has been a staple in my life almost all of my life. I remember…read morecoming to here to research papers I was writing all the way back to my young school days. While the library is all the things a library should be and you would think it would be, the Richardson Public Library is SO much more... For example this past weekend they held "Eggstravaganza" which was essentially fun, games, and of course, an Easter egg hunt, for the kids. They also hold Mah Jongg lessons and host a Mah Jongg League, host computer classes, AI lessons, teach Excel, host job clinics, as well as several other events (check out my photo of the current and upcoming events calendar). These activities have been a great way for me to not only support them, but also re-connect with the community. The library is SO good in fact, last week they won the Achievement of Excellence in Libraries Award from the Texas Municipal Library Directors Association. Wgat's more is that this is their 20th year in a row of winning this honor...Congratulations Richardson Public Library and thank you to all the staff and volunteers for doing what you all do!!!

    This is a nice neighborhood library. And it's super quiet in here. This is the quietest library I…read morehave ever been inside in my entire life. And I have lived in 6 states, visited several and been to plenty of libraries all over the place. My mouse for my laptop clicks so I don't want to use it, I'm sticking with the touch pad on my laptop. I am going to do everything in my power not to sneeze, cough or breathe too loud. I'm in libraries and coffee shops quite a lot and have grown accustomed to hearing children's chatter, music or phone conversations. Not here though, it's old school quiet like libraries of yesteryear. There is a large, wonderful area for children but on this side of the library you don't hear them. I love libraries this size. There are chairs, desks, tables, love seats, study rooms, media rooms, meeting rooms and even vending machines for your snack break. The restroom is nice, big and clean. And books, of course, they have a huge selection and if I moved to Collin County, which I probably won't, I would likely frequent this location. I don't know anything about this neighborhood but this library is really nice.

    It was time to get a library card that was mine. Was time to stop borrowing friend's cards. I love…read moreaudiobooks! Why pay for books or buy books when your taxes, as a homeowner, offer you free book rentals! AMAZING!! I love to be read too and you can read a variety of books for free. The best bang for your buck! Really happy I discovered reading books again. Not sure why I ever slowed down. Harrington Library is awesome! Simply need to go in person to apply for the card. It's so simple! It gives you access to ALL libraries in Collin county. Everyone should have a library card! They use the Libby app. The most wonderful app at that too! Easy to use and people friendly. Links you to all libraries. They offer 3d images of mapping plans for children to make their on designs. How cool is that! It's all in house. I think that's awesome to get kids interested in technology at an early age. I wish more people would be interested in being part of a library. It's so cool to have access to knowledge. It's free! If you have a driver license you can join and be a member. I'm sure if you don't have a DL you can still join. Be extraordinary and join any library across the country! May 2024
