Wow has it been years since I've stepped into a physical library!!!…read more After igniting my love for reading again, I found I needed a more sustainable place to cycle through books instead of hitting up B&N every week or so. Columbia public library made it easy to register for a free library card all online! I could even start checking out books before my card was shipped to me. We decided to check out the place in person and what a beautiful safe haven! There's lots of quiet spots to sit and read or study. Checking a book out was also so simple using their little kiosks located all around the library. Can't wait to come back!

And Frequent flopping of the swing door and some staff loudly putting stuff away (think angry dishwasher loading)...ugh They need a glass partition like at the library in Sedalia, more study rooms... I've rarely seen any students even during peak after school hours... They need to rearrange the the tables and move some librarians from the cluster area... I tried moving to different areas but noise/sound seeps into every area...the architect or interior designer needs to get a sound meter and understanding of how sound travels...though it's on the staff now and hopefully they will figure out a better rearrangement...and vacuum the seats to remove the cat/dog/human hair/dust. *To staffs credit they sometimes spray the seats and pipe instrumental music in the center to offset noise...and reduce fees on faxing (Camden libraries have free outgoing).

This particular library is outstanding, spotlessly clean and a heavenly place to visit on a hot, sticky day. The librarians had some very classical music playing in the background and the a/c was perfect. There are plenty of comfy chairs and tables, lots of good light and super clean restrooms. I found a plug by one of the comfy chairs to charge my phone and check my email. Beware though, there is a strict NO CELLPHONE policy in place. I'm thinking texting and checking email is okay, chatting is not. Check the used book section as you come in, I bought two hard back books in perfect condition for .50 each!! There is a large children's section and the requisite public computers. What an oasis in the middle of nowhere, this lovely library is. Unfortunately, they will lose a star because as I was leaving at 5pm (they close at 5:30) I heard the librarian say "Hey folks, I'm going to shut the wi-fi down." Are you kidding me? Is that wi-fi switch on top of a big mountain, accessible only by helicopter? Lame, our taxes pay your salary, this place is very important to so many people. Please don't do this close early because one of you wants to go home early.
